This depends on the context. Was this a practical joke? I have seen some pranks done at work that have been laughed at in the past and yet when told to others who may not agree with such humor, may retell the story with a tone of disgust. Meanwhile, the person whose tires were flattened may have laughed the situation off as a payback for another prank pulled some other time.

My point is that if you or the person telling you the story were not present during such an incident, it is hard to pass judgment on the situation. Nor does the incident have anything to do with either of you. I would let it pass and move on.
