when i was in high school, we would get really bored and come up with random weird schemes. this one was the most complicated. first, we drove around several classy neighborhoods, scoping out cool little statues, garden gnomes, those cement geese, that sort of thing. we made a list of about 10 of them, wrote down the adresses where each one was. then, late one night, we drove around and took all of them. now comes the interesting part. we basically switched them all around, ie put the various items at other houses we had taken something from. so, say we took a cement goose from one house, and a statue from another. we switched them out, and attached a note saying, "you are participating in a social experiment. we have taken your statue to 123 oak avenue. you will just need to go there, talk to them, and get it back." and then these people would have some other random lawn ornament that we took from another house, who in turn got a note saying where there shit was. not technically stealing, i suppose. just redistributing.
