    I agree. We had kids a couple of months ago ringing the door bell as a prank. My DH hid behind the door and waited for them. Just as they rang the bell he flung open the door and scared the begeebers out of them, the kid fell off the porch laughing along with my DH. Then they came back and wanted him to scare them again. It was all in good clean -no harm- fun!

They come back 2 or 3 days later, retrieve the flamingos, and ask THAT homeowner if there's someone they want to prank for a fee, and on it goes. It's pretty funny!
    In our area that was called getting flocked. Your contribution gets someone flocked for 3-5 days. (The more you pay, the longer the pink flamingo flock stays on their yard.) If you are the one flocked, and don't want the flock there, you can pay to have them removed sooner. I haven't seen it in a while - I guess the price of pink poultry has become secondary to the price of gas. Not a prank, but on my summer travels I noticed a lot of pig kissing campaigns as fund raisers. All the group needs to do is borrow a pig and a tutu and someone will donate the lipstick for the pig. Hysterical!

    OK... the headless rabbit thing could be a dog... When we had our farm and they would catch rabbits the first thing gone was the head. Not so appealing and I don't know why but it is a dog thing.

    Now, the mailbox is funny.

    Our cousin was upset many years ago with the mailman so he trapped a wild cat and put it in the mailbox. Boy did he get whooped for that one.

    My DD stuffed the cat in the mail box and was very upset when the mail man yelled at her.

    we've been TPd several times. we didn't know if it was we were liked or if we were not. I guess it's because they liked us?

    Oh, yes, this has happened to us, too. A couple years ago the kids put shredded paper all over our yard!!! And one year one of my son's friends wrapped my son's car in Saran wrap!
    I didn't like the shredded paper. Also, one stinker shot at the house with a paint ball gun!

    You've gotta be kidding??? She called you at work?
    work?! I would have called the police and let them call you at work! I dont see the "cute" in allowing kids to do this - mainly 'cus the "pranks" just get worse the older they get. It just shows no respect. Right now, older kids w/ cells are making flash calls (where they gather together in a mob, hit, and break up and disappear) in philly, pa and beating people on the streets up at random - real cute prank there.

    the first week after I moved here, I went and bought a 35$ redwood post, real pretty mailbox, brass street numbers and dug the post hole myself for my brand new mailbox and 2 days later kids went by and beat it down w/ baseball bats! 2 days. (the box was at the road 1/4 mile from the house)so much for southern hospitality. I went to the PO that afternoon and got a PO box and havent spoken to (most of- one neighbor and his brother way down the road come over, very nice guys) the neighbors for 17 yrs now and dont intend to. No one came forward, no one came to fix or help or anything. Just someones kids in a pickup riding the roads having "fun".

    the house across the street from us was covered with post-it notes last Friday. That was a really funny sight!
