Sugar in the gas tank is a waste of time; Myth Busters did an episode with that, and it did not affect the engine.
Also, messing with someone's vehicle is a good way to get your ass beat.
I live on a highway and it goes slightly uphill getting to our house. About every other month a vehicle starts up the hill while low on fuel (usually a Ford), starts sputtering and my driveway is a wide spot so they block my driveway. I used to keep gas cans along the side of my garage (couldn't be seen from the street) but I got tired of dirtbags stealing my gas. I noticed that I'd usually find my gas cans laying in the ditch so I'd decided that I'd had enough. I take an old gas can and leave it outside but it is full of water and about a cup of gas so it still smells like gas.

They usually get their vehicle to fire and pull out of my driveway. I'm the last wide spot going up the hill so there isn't a safe place to pull over without being in the ditch. Oh well, you steal, you deserve what you get.

Sugar doesn't dissolve in gasoline. A few gallons of water on the other hand...
I know a guy that dumped several GALLONS of karo syrup into a tour bus. I'm curious about if anything happened. I found out about 1/2 an hour after it left.
Back before the world got all PC we would mess with each other’s company trucks. Zip ties on the drive shaft, grease under the door handles, grease on windows, remove valve core from the stem, hot wire from blinker to the horn was a good one also. Lock there tool box with a lock that they didn’t have a key to was really fun.
I used to manage a fleet of Ford E350s. They had round dash vents that would turn completely around. I emptied my hole punch into the vents, aimed them towards the driver and cranked the AC on high.

Keep in mind that these were company vehicles, not personal vehicles.


You use the old school first time Harley owners trick.
You give them a couple of days to strut around like a peacock and show off the new bike.
Get about half a cup of motor oil and a small little bolt.
Pour the oil under the bike and put that little bolt in the puddle.
Wait untill they get all geared up and ready to go before you rush out and tell them not to start the bike and then show them the oil puddle with the bolt.
They will be underneath that bike for hours trying to figure out where that bolt came from.
That is the oldest new bike owner trick ever
Ive done this. I like using a SAE bolt under a metric bike.


For less harmful pranks, zip ties on the drive shaft (the big ones) harmonica or a whistle taped somewhere on the frame rail or some other good hiding spot, bumper sticker magnets that say funny stuff, wrap the car in plastic when it's parked, jack it up and put a block of wood under the axle so when he gets in to go it'll just spin the tires in the air.
I did a chunk of firewood under a dirtbag lawyers car at a scouting event way back when. Several of the guys knew about it and when he went to leave we told him that nope, his tires weren't spinning. He didn't have it in gear. He got out and looked at his car and tried again. I offered to get it out and when he was getting out of his car one of the other guys slammed a thin chunk of firewood in front of the tire. I made a big deal to show him how the parking brake releases and explain how to put it in gear. Then I simply drove forward. He looked like a total doofus, which he was.



My buddy just had some wheel weights removed from his car, and I added more shortly after that :rotflmao::Big Laugh:

I believe he went to a repair shop to have it fixed, only to have it worse than before! He's gonna go back to the shop, like: "I just had this fixed, and now it's broken again! Do it right! :mad:"
I bought a bunch of used lead wheel weights from a tire shop on the late 90's. I used them for making fishing sinkers. I worked with a guy who bought a brand new set of wheels and tires for his truck and every couple of days I'd drop a wheel weight on the ground by a tire.




I helped a coworker with an engine swap about a year ago. He was happily driving his truck about a week when I called him over the radio and told him that there was a bunch of antifreeze under his truck. I'd laid a gallon jug of antifreeze underneath.


Similarly, I used to give a buddy in college a bad time about his "rice burner" Toyota. He put in a fuel pump and the next day I poured rice under his truck and told him that he had a fuel leak.




The sugar thing is a classic. I worked with a guy that was a real Richard Cranium.I poured a bit of oil through a cracked funnel (trash) and dumped some sugar through it onto the ground. The sugar stuck to the oil. I left the funnel and an almost empty bag of sugar on the ground right by his gas tank. I wouldn't do that these days. I was in my early 20s and life hadn't quite kicked me in the nuts yet.

Isn't that the truth! I was a prankster and big headed! Thought I was king of the hill, then I found out that life is George Foreman and he proceeded to beat the ever living crap out of me. I always get back up, but each time a little slower.

In the Reserves, whenever I borrowed the engine shop's truck, I'd park it with the radio at full volume on the local tejano station.

If you're just joking around, then never anything that can damaged the vehicle or possibly leave them stranded on the side of the road.


For fun only:
P e n I s valve caps from Amazon.
Upside down Pineapple sticker on the middle of their license plate.
Zip tie a harmonica to the frame, they most likely only hear it when on the hwy.
If they have trailer wiring, put an end on an old 70s car horn. Wire it so it beeps when they use their directional. Zip tie it up under the vehicle to hide it.
Put their license plates on upside down.
Saran wrap their car.
Zip tie shopping carts to or around their vehicle.
Leave "I'm pregnant" notes on the vehicle.
Leave "im sorry for the damage " note on their vehicle.
banana in the tailpipe.

For inconvenience & cost them some money:
Zip ties on the drive shaft or cv axles.
if you cut the ends off, It'll give a bad vibration.
If you leave the tails on, make sure that it won't rip any wiring out. It'll give a vibration w/ an annoying sound.
Unplug an o2 sensor, It'll light up the dash. Ecu will try to compensate for a bad sensor.
Pull, move or add weights to the rims.

For someone you hate.
Rip off the edge of the wiper blades.
Super glue the locks.
Super glue the door handles.
Tampons in the gas tank.
Unplug things under the vehicle, leave a stick in that area so it looks like the stick did it.
Swap out their plates for ones that you got at a salvage yard.
Using a Bogus email, put their car up for sale, give their work #, have the people show up at their work.
If they leave their vehicle unlocked, leave food in several hidden plates to rot. When they find some, they'll think they got, but there is still more.
If they lock their vehicle, pour some fart spray into the cowl panel.


I am not saying that I condone this type of behavior. I'm also not saying that I'm against it.

I'm also not saying that I have or have not done any of these.


But remember this, no finger prints, never get caught, never tell where you got the idea.

My ex wife worked for a well known huge engineerig firm.
Somebody not only stole all of their lunches.
They also stole all of their eyeglasses.
Some bizzarre wierd thing.
So my ex saved cat turds and made several cat turd sandwiches and put them in the company break room.
Just in general.
No matter what is going on in your life.
If your wife is microwaving cat turds so she can spread them like Nutella?
Its time to move on.

I mentioned this a few months back in the "Funny Stuff" thread, but it can be adapted to your buddy's vehicle if he leaves it unlocked.

True story. A few years back, right after Burt Reynolds passed, two of my coworkers got in a spat. I can't remember what happened, but Jay pulled a prank on Emily. The next day Jay went to the daily production meeting and the colonel asked a question about the schedule. Jay whipped opened his binder to the schedule, and instead of the schedule there was Burt Reynolds, nude on a bearskin rug.

"Uh, sir, I'll have to get back to you on that."

He went back to his office and opened a desk drawer, and there was nude Burt Reynolds. He moved his keyboard and under it was nude Burt Reynolds. He shut his office door, and on the back of the door, there was nude Burt Reynolds.

She'd printed off a hundred copies and hid them everywhere in his stuff. He was still finding them three months later!

Best prank ever.

There is a bar/ restuarant in CentraIia Washington that has the full painting size nude Burt Reynolds on the wall in the bar.
When my wife and I first met she really put a lot of trust into somebody she didnt know.
A real leap of faith.
So I took her to a bar in friggen noplace Washington and got the Hairy Burt Reynolds table.
So we ordered drinks and food and Im waiting for her to pick up on the whole Burt thing..
She asked me if this was some kind of a state protected historic site.
I had no idea what she was talking about.
She pointed at Burt and asked if this was the place where they sent underarm deoderent investigators .
I probaly ordered the chinken fried staek or the Country fried steak.
Because that is the place to get those things.
So Im digging in and she sticks a fork into my plate and said STOP.
Dug around and pulled out her fork and said there was an armpit hair in my food.
And I looked up at that naked Burt Reynolds painting.
Like maybe it was just shedding ***** onto are food.
Thats also the moment where I learned we both had to control our wits and not play games with each other.
And we dont.
Friggen Burt Reynolds *****.
Marriage is a kind of nuclear assured desruction treaty.
We are at 23 years and I do things that make her mad .
She does things that make me mad.
But we made a deal when we first met that we would never raise our voices at each other or yell at each other and if we felt like doing that we would leave the room and calm down before we said another thing to each other.
Sometimes that takes a couple of days.
Words spoken in anger can be really vindictive
And you cant breath that vile gas back into your mouth once youve let it out.
If you find that trust.
Neither of you can break that bond without destroying the other.
We are a bonded pair
