These are tame!
There used to be a "game" of knocking on doors and running away
Two variations were:
1. Using fishing line on a row of terraced houses and knocking on multiple doors
2. Get a paper bag, fill with dog mess, put on doorstep and light, then ring door bell.... the first reaction is to stamp out the fire!
Not of course that I would have participated in or condoned such activities
The other one was the statue of Oliver Cromwell in the town square
Placing a traffic cone on his head was a regular occurence
