some fine studenty japes1. A mate of mine had his new and expensive bike nicked. It was insured, but even so he went into a complete spaz about it. So we saw our opportunity. We secretly stole the spare key to his bike lock, and once he bought a new bike, waited a week, and then nicked it from him and hid it in the attic. He went spaz again, even more this time.
Repeat until the insurance company is asking questions about what is going on, the police are somewhat suspicious of our mate and we have SIX expensive bikes hidden away.
By this point he was going seriously mental, so on his last return from the police station we returned them all, locked together where he'd left the last one. But with our own lock. He went mad when he found it was us, but then quickly forgave us when he realised he had 5 nice new bikes to sell.
2. Possibly my favourite uni thing to do - find a strange elected student post and run an entire campaign to get a friend elected for the post without their knowledge. Surprisingly easy to do (just make up an email address and fake contact details), and it can be hilarious to see a mate wake up and discover that they're in charge of transexual issues across the university for the coming year. That mate was far from pleased.
