I always liked for payback, removing the valve core on all 4 wheels, and supergluing the air cap on.

I have previously recieved the punishment I deserve.
Notice that the LF wheel is still attached, even though the balljoint snapped in the turn (that's what threw me into the fence in the first place).

The worst I had was getting the spare rim for my car at the junkyard. 4 bolts off fine, but the last one I had to get on the breaker bar, all 200lbs of me and jump on the breaker to get it loose. Amazing stupidity!
I was thinking about a punishment and the only sensible one is "madmax" style. You chain the guys leg to the wheel to be removed. Give him a hack saw and a factory lug wrench. Start a fuel fire near the back of car, if the lugs are torqued correctly he walks away, if not a hell of a tough choice.
I can only assume that the movie SAW made an impression on you

Neighbor had a tire replaced at Sears a week ago, today felt a severe vibration, checked wheel seemed ok so drove it home, found three broken lugs on that wheel.
Sears has agreed to pay for the repair, verbally at least

At work today one of the techs came in (parts dept) and said I need a new lug nut. I asked "what for?" He hands me a nut and half the threads are comlpletely stripped. He says "I berkeleyed it up." I had seen him earlier in the day tightening lugs with an impact and holding the trigger down for about 5 seconds after it was as tight as possible each time

How about forcing them to remove said over-tightened lug nuts with a factory lug wrench...in the dark...in the middle of nowhere...in a suit...while someone holds a lawn sprinkler over their head.
