[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyun-joo] A middle-aged man is causing outrage after deflating the tires of another vehicle, believing that his parking spot was taken. The victim's side stated that they have reported the incident to the police.

On the 8th, a post titled "Someone is putting stones inside tire valve caps" was uploaded on an online community, revealing the fact that the tires had been deflated.

The author, who identified himself as the husband of the victim, said, "We experienced something absurd. My wife was parking at a shopping center to go to a hair salon, but another car had parked there first." He continued, "That car left to the left, and my wife turned right and found an empty spot to park." He added, "But maybe because there was no spot on the left, that car came back, opened the window, and shouted."

He went on, "So I thought 'this person must be crazy,' but when my wife returned from the hair salon and was on her way home, she noticed that one tire's air pressure had dropped to 3." He claimed, "After checking the black box, we found that the driver of the other vehicle had put a stone inside the tire valve cap and deflated the tire."

He added, "We called the insurance company employee, who said that these kinds of incidents have been happening a lot lately." He said, "The wheel wasn't scratched or anything, but out of spite, we reported it to the police."

When a netizen questioned in the comments, "(The other vehicle) was turning left and trying to park in reverse, but the spot was taken first, right?" the author replied, "It's not a narrow parking lot, and there's no need to reverse after going left. Also, the car was stopped on the left, so we couldn't tell if it was going to reverse or not."

Other netizens expressed outrage over this story. They responded with comments such as, "If a tire goes flat while driving, it can cause an accident. This is attempted murder," "No matter how angry you are, people who damage others' cars should be dealt with by law," "It could be dangerous for others as well," and "There are many people in this world who are hard to understand."
