Tire whistlepig
Loved by skaters everywhere!

The whistlepig is a 1 inch threaded plug with a built in whistle. It is made of cheap plastic and costs about 10 cents. When screwed onto the tire valve of a parked car / bike, it lets the air out while emitting a loud ululating whistle. Skaters and other miscreants try to screw on all 20 whistlepigs in a pack before the first one goes quiet. Thrillseekers hook up whistlepigs to parked Harleys and try to clear the area before the bikers hear that telltale wail and rush out to save their PSI. Cops thrash individuals found to have whistlepigs in their possession.

BUNGCO does not manufacture whistlepigs and in no way endorses their use.

       public: evil: ululating ?   

       Every day henceforth, I will awake and thank the G-Dogs that this product does not exist.

       Most creative. Buns to you, [Bungston]. I am going out to the garage right now to superglue my tire valvestem caps in place.

       For government use BUNGCO could build the whistle into caltrops (link) to better mark the car that ran the barrier.

       Let's hope that bungston never applies his genius to the forces of evil. Oh, wait...

       If things could be MFD as "evil" this would be likely candidate.
