Can you create a flat tyre with a nail file?
Same question as above. Can a sharp nail file puncture a tyre? If not, is there anything in a woman's handbag that could puncture a tyre?
Comments
as Baggy said use the valve to deflate tyre.
.
A nail file, no matter how sharp, would PROBABLY bend before it pierced the tyre.
If your character wanted to do something covert to deflate the tyre, I would think that the character might be carrying something hobby-related, say a leatherwork hole punch. Straight through the sidewall of the tyre (which is thinner) not the tread!!)
Alternatively, she could be a tradie (carpenter would be excellent, then she has reason to carry a chisel) again, straight through the sidewall. Gee, I'm starting to sound like a bloke!
If she leaves it in the tyre, then you have scope to introduce DNA identification.
Although people drive around with all sorts embedded, don't they?
What about Superglue in the locks/on the windscreen wipers?
Otherwise, you'd have to imagine the geography and decide which places would give the van cover.

Oh, how I laughed!
...but it was hilarious.

Sorry - but that's just too funny.
One day you will have crappy eyesight then it'll be my turn to mock.
I never thought I'd say this, but thank goodness for sm.

Ooh, a new avatar!
It's the absence of flatness that's the cause for concern.
Go and scoop your curry up and come back when you can concentrate.
I am getting old too.
