Remember: a can of expanding foam can disable most any vehicle when sprayed in the right places.

Do chainsaws still snap and maim their wielders when they hit rebar in trees?
-
They sure do! And they still ruin expensive lumber mill equipment. Just a few trees can make an entire logging job unprofitable and not worth the risk.
Bonus, it's a felony to spike a tree, so you'd qualify for being president as well!
-
How do you put rebar in a tree tho? Purely hypothetical
-
Hypothetically, I would look up how to do it.
But, if I had to make something up on the fly, I would get a length of rebar and cut it in half at an angle so you get two equal lengths spikes, then I would find out what size trees are most likely to be targeted in a logging campaign, then climb up to that height on the tree and hammer them in.
Hypothetically.

Thank you! Hypothetically.

A pound of sugar in a gas tank is also an option.
-
Sugar in a gas tank will only really clog the fuel filter. Sucrose doesn't dissolve in gasoline. Water in the fuel would be more harmful than sugar.

Mothballs.
Or squirt super glue in the locks.
Sand+oil+paint mixture on the windows.
Stuff the radiator full of dryer lint.
There is no shortage of ways to cheaply and quickly fuck up equipment.

-
Acetone fucks your paint up, which probably costs more than replacing the lock.

We used JB Weld in door locks. No getting that off with acetone.

So a bottle of sugar water, got it.

Bleach, in the radiator mythbusters did this one, sugar won't even slow down a modern engine, water is kind of shitty but you can just drain it and restart. Bleach in the radiator will age the engine by a decade for every 10 minutes its running.
-
Can't find that one -- did you mean bleach in the oil tank?
-
That might be it!

That's also what concrete delivery guys use to stop the mix from curing in the hopper when their truck gets delayed or breaks down. (Well, more specifically, soda -- not sure if the carbonation is also significant.)
-
Its the sugar, it slows the curing of the concrete but doesn't stop it entirely. Over about 2% concentration by weight it begins to affect the strength of the finished concrete though.

All these vehicles have fleet keys. No one is worried about someone stealing a logger
