Anyone ever do this?

[Night201]

As a joke, have any of you ever taken an item from a friend (like a teddy bear or something of that sort) and took it hostage? Then brought it to different places and took pictures of it at these locations and sent the pictures to the owner? I thought I saw something like this posted once here or on the web. Got links with the pictures?

 

Yes, but we did it with a Ronald McDonald statue.

McDonalds was not too pleased we stole their statue.
Their loss.

Yes. They took it from some lawn in Ohio or somewhere, then they literally took it around the world. Ireland, Italy, Egypt, France and various US locations.

They mailed the people pics of their gnome at the Eiffel Tower, the Pyramids, etc. Then one day, the gnome was back, right where he was more than one year prior.

I think it's cool.

This reminds me of a fraternity prank...

basically some guys at a fraternity took pictures of their.. you know what... and donuts on it. Then they took the donuts over to a sorority house as an annonymous present.

After the girls finished eating the donuts, the pictures were presented to them.



Also, there was something like this in Van Wilder with a bull dog and pastries...
