Not the most original prank in the world
But I was tickled slightly by the denouement.

Years ago, as a mightily be-quiffed student, residing in halls, a mate took it upon himself to empty my room after I had naively given him my room key so he could 'borrow a tape I had as he wanted to copy it' (yes this was pre CD days).

After half an hour, and he still hadn't returned, I got suspicious (the time passing hadn't registered as I was too busy playing pool with my then-girlfriend).

Upstairs I went, and noticed the kitchen door wideopen, with my entire room contents arranged perfectly, bar one item.

'Twat' I muttered, more in annoyance at my own naivety than anything else.

I padded to my room, opened the door, and spotted my stereo on the floor, looking forlorn with a note taped to it that read 'press play'. I did.

The song that emanated forth was 'In my room' by Yazoo. Nice touch.
