Default TPMS issues?

Ok well i got my rims swapped and the douchebags didnt put the TPMS sensor in the new ones. Can i just leave them out? My buddy said that the Tire low pressure would go away if i moved the sensors far enought away from the car.

If it was their incompetence make them do it correctly.
