Dirty deeds done dirt cheap

I'm talking practical jokes and the like.
Got a funny story of your practical jokes? Put 'em here.

I'll start with,

THE GAS MASTER...

In my neighborhood we had a fellow who was always bragging about the gas mileage his vehicles provided him, to the point of obnoxious. He was always meticulous in tracking his Miles Per Gallon. So we set him up right after he had purchased a new car. When we stopped by to admire his new ride, naturally, he steered the conversation toward the gas mileage.
So we devised a plan to frustrate him to no end by first, adding five gallons to his tank under the cover of darkness every day for a week. Gasoline was $0.30 a gallon in those days. That Saturday he took the car to the filling station like always and it only needed a very small amount to fill the tank.
He was ecstatic and crowed about the mileage to anyone who would listen. Then, we stopped adding extra fuel. Within a very short time he had the car back at the dealership complaining that the car was guzzling gas after it's initial MPG WOW factor. It was all we could do to maintain a straight face when he related his troubles to us and complained that the shop, who found nothing wrong with the car, was staffed by morons that couldn't find their butts with both hands.
