Midway into the 1997 Burning Man event, a drunken yahoo in an SUV was driving fast & spinning circles in a hazardous manner in the middle of Black Rock City, narrowly missing several participants. When we finally got him stopped, we pulled him out of the driver’s seat & I told him to walk back to his camp & sober up. As he left, I removed the valve cores from all 4 tires & watched as the air hissed out & the tires deflated into the playa. I quickly made this sign & stuck it on his windshield as a warning to others. For the next 5 days, the SUV sat out there in deep playa, like some kind of art piece. After the event, he came to me pleading. It was then that I dumped the 4 valve cores into his open palm.
