It’d be illegal in Sweden as egenmäktigt förfarande. Is there nothing similar in Finland?
For example, if you were to put a lock on someone’s bike, would that not be illegal? The idea with egenmäktigt förfarande is that you’re disturbing someone’s right to use their property.
The tyre deflation thing is from a court case where a man who was on trial for harassing a woman had deflated the woman’s bike tyres while she was in the shop. She came back to find the tyres deflated and had no pump so she rode the bike back to her house with deflated tyres, which damaged the rims. Seeking compensation for the damaged rims was part of her claim, but the court denied the claim because deflating the tyres was not what damaged them, but rather riding back on deflated tyres.
Of course Finnish court system does not work on precedent, so there’s no guarantee the same logic would apply to cars, or the sacred steel cow as they are known as here, so it’s best to not get caught.

I do not know about locking someone else’s bike.
