If I saw that, I would be tempted to do something along the lines of drawing a penis on a conspicuous part like the headlight.

Deflate the tires yourself before going into work?

I'd find out who did it, and search out their vehicle....... What's good for the goose....................
2 times is two tires, three is three ----- maybe they would understand |
2 deflated tires on one car sucks......:)

I picked up a small screamer type alarm a few months ago at a thrift shop for a few dollars, has a small pull cord to set it off kind of like a panic alarm and it is LOUD. I've thought of figuring out a way to rig it up to the bike where if the bike is moved then it would go off, problem is with wind and with other people putting bikes in a nearby rack location.

You could slob super glue all over the tire once you get to work.
Or black ink. |

sounds like there is no evidence of anyone tampering with the bike. experience will eventually demonstrate, that flat tires take an indeterminate amount of time to manifest themselves, depending on the severity of the hole or holes in the tube. :)

UPDATE:
So I talked to security at my work who reviewed footage of the last few days. They told me that they didn't see ANYBODY touch or mess with my bike. I thought this to be strange as two days in a row, I had a flat tire on two different bikes, both on the rear... I guess I can't dispute video evidence.

I don't think it's a d1ck move, even if you don't ask. It's a bike rack, it's meant for bikes, it's not being used for bikes, which means whoever paid to install it isn't getting their money's worth.
However, given that yours is the first case I've heard of a commuter being repeatedly targeted for obnoxious deflation, it's not a common thing. So if review of the tapes can identify the culprit and he can be dealt with, I bet you won't have to worry any more. You could also look around in the back, even if there isn't an actual bike rack, there might be a pipe or some other secure feature that you could lock up to while keeping your bike out of everyone's way. That might be preferable to a rack out front in general. |
... sending the alarm, To your phone?

Maybe the 'tubes have a slow leak. Swap them out and see. It's all a process of elimination.

I was on a group ride on Saturday from Pizza Port San Clemente to Pizza Port Ocean beach (stopping at Pizza Ports Carlsbad and Solana Beach on the way...). After I got out of Solana Beach, my front tire was flat (Marathon Supreme). Did a quick visual check for sharps, didn't see anything. Went to pump it up, saw the valve was open, so I think somebody let my air out. However, I had been noticing that my front tire was beginning to feel a little soft. If I left the valve open, is it possible for road vibration bounce the valve to burp a little?
In any case, I pumped it up, and it held for the remaining 20+ miles. (However, I did pick up a nasty staple that took the rear down...) |

How did the valve caps come off?

Maybe the 1st flat was legit, and the second was from a pinched tube from changing the 1st. Did you determine the cause of the flat?

I don't know, I was not there to see what you saw or hear what they told you but I personally don't think I would not be satisfied with it. I do hope you are right. Maybe it is a serial flat with an explanation. |
