    Well, given that parking in a bike lane carries a hefty fine, and that the cops don’t seem to care, it’s unlikely that they’d be around to notice or choose to do anything about scratched paint or a broken headlight.

      I’m just thinking from perspective of type of offence. In Canada you can park in the middle of the road and that’s a non-criminal offence. You’re getting a fine if someone is bothered to write you up. Purposefully keying a vehicle on the other hand is vandalism, which is a criminal offence. If you get caught, you’d get a record and potentially worse than a fine. It’s a different level of punishment.

      The vans are surveillance vans, you do this and amazon is definitely recording you

      That having been said, I think relieving the vans of all of their tire air would not be considered permanent damage.

        That’s a good point actually. Amazon is much more likely to care about a van that can’t deliver than some scratched paint.
