Glue a bb in the valve cap. It’ll let the air out with no sign of tampering. And happen angain every time they top it up.

Won't it loudly hiss air when they refill and screw cap back on?

It should slowly leak out if you tighten it just so. Probably depends on the valvecap design but generally the standard black ones will not leak rapidly even if they screw them all the way. A peppercorn or airsoft bb will also work.

I hear lentils work as well, possibly the most economic and eco friendly option.

That's brilliant!
