Yes. If someone wants to stay alive in this world, maybe they shouldn't be spray painting cars at night.
I'm not saying I would kill someone over that, but then again, if I'm faced with seeing a person who is larger than me who is defacing my property, you really think it would be wise to walk up to them at night and say, "Excuse me, wait right here while I call the police," and expect that your life won't be in danger?
Yes, this is a prank. But by definition, pranks are intended to get a reaction out of people. If you don't like the potential reactions to the prank, don't perform the prank.
Which is why I recommended the alteration to the prank that I did. Placing a roll of static film tape that's the same width as the parking line would prompt a vehicle owner to ask questions first, whereas using a rattle can looks way too much like the real thing that assumptions will be made and compromising situations will be had.
