Parked in the works carpark is a Black LR Freelander (52 plate) wink.gif wink.gif

The problem is...the rear passenger tyre is flat.... huh.gif

Do I:

1: Tell the owner and get thanks for doing so.

2. Leave and let the filthy Nedflander owner fix there own puncture...

3. Remove tacks left by wheel and hope no one saw me.

4. Watch from office window and laugh with colleagues as they try and change the tyre.

5. Drive off home tonight and think I might pass them at side of road awaiting recovery..

Or add your own....

Any suggestions or advise.
