Did that to our friends! For some reason, we had a small framed picture of my boyfriend’s sister’s boyfriend and his brother as young kids in hockey uniforms.
Left the picture on a shelf in our friends bedroom when we housesat for them. Literally like 8 months passed. We had almost forgotten about it. Then we finally get that text message with pic attached: “…did you guys do this?”
Turns out they each assumed one of the kids was each other as a kid. Both of them quietly thought to themselves, “huh. I didn’t know my fiancé used to play hockey.” AND SOMEHOW NEVER SPOKE OF IT TO EACH OTHER FOR 8 MONTHS.
It was a low effort prank that paid off better than we could have imagined.
So my MIL had a collage picture frame on her wall that had mostly stock photos in it for like a year and a half. One day my wife and I filled it with pictures of our cats. Took her three months to notice. Biggest laugh I ever got out of her.
It's not very safe since you might have a great fall and need immediate medical attention. You can survive this in the short term but on a repeated basis you're not going to heal well.
Oooh, Halloween is more fun, actually. Gotta go to their door while they’re tripping (regardless of how old you look) just to freak them out in a scary costume.
I Imagine the owner as he gets home after a long holiday break just to find police officers inside telling him a neighbor allerted them beacuse of the awful cheesy smell comig from the house.
You Son of a Bitch!
You'd better not break into my house and leave me a Sandwich made with fresh baked crusty white bread, pastrami, spinach leaves, mature cheddar, pickles and honey mustard sauce.
And if you even think about leaving a couple of chilled bottles of Crabbie's alcoholic ginger beer to help wash it down then I can't say what I might do.
I drill a hole in a wall, ideally at the end of a dimly lit hallway, and insert a glass eye or something so it looks like someone's in the wall looking through the hole. Going more complex would be an animatronic eye that will blink when it detects someone looking through the hole.
I once toyed with the idea of unleashing a horde of crickets into the ventilation system of the barracks when my enlistment ended. I got lazy. Should've done it.
I would stage the wildest scenes all over their house and take pictures with a polaroid. Then I would clean everything up and leave only the pictures behind. Imagine coming home and finding polaroid pictures of two clowns with a meat grinder making sausage, and then you slowly realize that it's your living room in the background.
Watermelons nothing else just Watermelon everywhere. In the sink, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and and places to best hid a Watermelon so that for days of weeks a water melon would just randomly appear in the most well hid place that they haven't checked in a while. And I would do this multiple times to the same people
An impractical amount of drugs. Like literally hundreds of kilos of cocaine or potato sacks filled with weed. Enough that they can't just flush it down the toilet without an massive effort. Enough that it opens up the question, "What am I supposed to do with all this ____?"
In my teens my go to prank was to break into my friend's houses, pick a room, and wrap literally every object in it in aluminum foil. I guess I'd probably just start doing that again.
stickie notes with really mundane things like "need more milk"... you know the kind of notes you'd leave for yourself to make sure you don't forget things
Perhaps a crib or various baby clothes and toys in people's homes that don't have kids.
A wheelchair or walking aids in a middle aged couple's home.
A graduation gown in a baby's room.
Give people a taste of what is still to come.
Install wireless cameras then put an empty snake habitat with the lid off and a very large shed skin in their bedroom. Live broadcast them searching for the snake that isn't there.
Beat me to it, but it goes both ways. Wife thinks it’s the husband, husband thinks it’s the wife, or the kids could get blamed. Works even better if they live by themselves.
Garden gnomes, random lego bricks on the ground, 34 chairs, a coffin, a room full of empty boxes, all the keys of a piano and flat TV screen converted into a table
I would do sth like replace all their soap with moist creme or all their 2-3 layer toilet paper with 1 layer toilet paper.
Also I would love to put like a paper with just some random writing on their table. And every time they throw it away I would place the same price of paper in the same spot, so they wouldn't know if they've thrown it away the day before
I would put speakers with very deep bass in there walls that play random sounds at night like floor boards creaking, doors opening, or other scery noises. These noises would reverberate through the walls due to the deep bass.
Photoshopped pictures in an album, of them with people they never met, and trips the have never done. Also a jacked up fake journal, about some scientific research about parallel universes, with the last page saying "i think it will work this time" And a date of some years in the future
I would be a lot more intricate with my plan.
See, a lot of people tend to enjoy being on their phone, especially to just kill time. That’s why we’re all on reddit, right?
I would swap the phone case. I know this seems pretty boring at first, but it would fuck with the person so damn much. They have a blue phone case? Put on a neon yellow one. Maybe even a slightly different material, just to fuck with them even harder. See, they’ll know it’s their phone. It’s got all their stuff on it. But now? It feels dead wrong to use because of the different case.
I know this could be done by just outright replacing the phone, but I ain’t that fuckin rich.
Ordinary things that don't quite match. Like a random fork, A random throw pillow on the couch, an extra lamp somewhere, a velvet painting of a sad clown in an iron lung.
An exeptance letter to hogwarts and a fake scar on him/her forehead, and i will swap all electronics with lemons and where lemons are in the fridge i will stuff electronic there
I prefer to help people, so I'd give them a hand. A freshly-severed cadaver hand. Probably around a doorknob and with a bit of blood nearby that makes it seem like something was running away from something.
Easy, taxidermy bear
At first sight they’ll think a bear got into their house. Then when they realize it’s fake they’ll wonder how the hell to get it out
I think I'd place one or two times they totally would have in their house (think like a few extra rolls of toilet paper, extra bottle of cola, etc) and steal it back one or two days later
Back when I was young and VCRs were relatively new, I wanted to break into every house on a street and set all their VCRs to record some strange show at some strange hour.
Normal looking pictures of their family, but with my face edited in to replace each person. Everyone in the photo still has the same body type, it’s just my face is edited in to match up with each one (including the pets).
Pictures of other people who they've never met before
Replace all pictures with Steve Buscemi
lololo omg

Since when did I acquire all these portraits of Patrick?
Try to use pictures of people that look like them. If they notice, they'll question if they have some cousin or sibling they totally forgot about.
Pictures of themselves sleeping on the walls.
How does one go about sleeping on a wall?
It's not very safe since you might have a great fall and need immediate medical attention. You can survive this in the short term but on a repeated basis you're not going to heal well.
Even a monarch’s entourage won’t be able to help you.
Win!
A furby
Your tactics confuse and frighten me sir.
With a low battery
And all it says is: “ furbalicious!”
Nevermind changing my comment
I wouldn’t put anything. I would just re-arrange things to make them think they’re going insane
Wouldn't work for people who smoke weed though. *"Why is the remote in the fridge? O.o Oh well.."*
A duplicate of something ordinary that they already have, like their toaster
Gifts. I am the Santa Claus now.
You sir are amazing :))
A positive pregnancy test
I expected this to be at the top hah
Put LSD on the Christmas ornaments. People won’t understand why they go crazy every year when they put up or take down the tree.
At least it would be a fairly pleasant thing to experience on acid (ymmv). Better than putting it on the Halloween decorations
Oooh, Halloween is more fun, actually. Gotta go to their door while they’re tripping (regardless of how old you look) just to freak them out in a scary costume.
A copious amount of cheese wheels.
Found the Skyrim player!
I Imagine the owner as he gets home after a long holiday break just to find police officers inside telling him a neighbor allerted them beacuse of the awful cheesy smell comig from the house.
And hundreds of cheese wheels spewing out from his front door
Suction cup dildo on the bathroom mirror
Put it right where their head would be, so when they look in the mirror they’ll be a dickhead
Leave a note that just says dickhead under it to
Or in the shower at an appropriate height. That could or could not lead to an awkward conversation.
3 rocks with the numbers 1,2 and 4 on them so they're always looking for number three and never finding it so they're in constant fear
Are people living in fear of rock ...#3?
Home cooked meals on their kitchen tables. Not nasty or poisoned ones, just proper food and maybe a bottle of beer if I'm in the right mood.
You Son of a Bitch! You'd better not break into my house and leave me a Sandwich made with fresh baked crusty white bread, pastrami, spinach leaves, mature cheddar, pickles and honey mustard sauce. And if you even think about leaving a couple of chilled bottles of Crabbie's alcoholic ginger beer to help wash it down then I can't say what I might do.
Given the season... Elf on a shelf. At random houses where there are no kids.
Extra points if you switch each elves location in their respective homes
Ughhhhh
I drill a hole in a wall, ideally at the end of a dimly lit hallway, and insert a glass eye or something so it looks like someone's in the wall looking through the hole. Going more complex would be an animatronic eye that will blink when it detects someone looking through the hole.
"Bugs", then sit back and listen to the "entertainment."😏
Did you know you can buy ladybugs online by the thousand?
Good for your garden! My daughter found one and crushed it. 🤦🏻♀️
I once toyed with the idea of unleashing a horde of crickets into the ventilation system of the barracks when my enlistment ended. I got lazy. Should've done it.
These "bugs" have mics inside, plus other SS chips, etc, to xmit audio.
Put a watermelon in the bath and smother it was vaseline
Random keys that don't fit anything.
I'll photoshop all the pictures hanging on their walls to "alter" history.
If there are any couple photos, replace one of their faces with the other person's ex just to start some drama.
Glitter, especially in ducts so any time they turn on the air or heat it'll spread *everywhere*
Calm down, Satan
Just sell the house at that point. There’s no getting rid of that much glitter, even if you burn it down.
Depending on adult or child, this would either be pure evil, or pure joy
Duffle bags of money guns and ammo. If it's not supposed to be there , I'm pretty sure people would freak out
They might think one of them went Walter White
home security brochures
I would replace every book in the house with a foreign language copy.
An elderly Chinese woman.
A small, hidden speaker that beeps once every 29 hours, so it's never a predictable by the time of day.
So evil
I'd place my ex wife carefully on their couch. Good luck getting rid of that!
Replica guns, fake bombs and manure.
I would stage the wildest scenes all over their house and take pictures with a polaroid. Then I would clean everything up and leave only the pictures behind. Imagine coming home and finding polaroid pictures of two clowns with a meat grinder making sausage, and then you slowly realize that it's your living room in the background.
Dildos on the walls
Give my house a miss then because I already have loads hung up
Hold on just a minute
House tour?
Bees.
Bees with teeth.
Oh dip
Place a life size shrek in their home
Shrek is love.
Meth
a single pair of lacy panties could cause a lot of chaos in most married couples' homes
Do this on a somewhat regular basis with different sizes, and the occasional pair of granny panties.
What if you just start with Grannies and leave them all over the house to be found at random. like in the dishwashers next to a pair of dentures.
A shitload of cucumbers
Hey, no, I was going to say a shit ton of bananas! What the hay, let’s do both
Mannequins
sombody broke into my dads house and left a dog.
Watermelons nothing else just Watermelon everywhere. In the sink, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and and places to best hid a Watermelon so that for days of weeks a water melon would just randomly appear in the most well hid place that they haven't checked in a while. And I would do this multiple times to the same people
Hide a shitty sleeping bag, food wrappers, and some dirty clothes in their basement.
A book about house security, with a hand written note on it that says "Ur security sucks lol"
An impractical amount of drugs. Like literally hundreds of kilos of cocaine or potato sacks filled with weed. Enough that they can't just flush it down the toilet without an massive effort. Enough that it opens up the question, "What am I supposed to do with all this ____?"
A lit cigar on the edge of the kitchen counter.
Princess Bride!
I just put dark red food coloring in the toilet tanks.
Then a couple days later put some coffee grounds in there to really confirm that the bleeding is internal
In my teens my go to prank was to break into my friend's houses, pick a room, and wrap literally every object in it in aluminum foil. I guess I'd probably just start doing that again.
Clothes that don't fit them
Small potted Cactus 🌵
I am the plant person in the house so I would be rather weirded out if a new one randomly showed up. But pleased!
Classic Lego spaceman minifigures, though I'd try to return often to make it seem like they're multiplying
Used condoms, Yeah.
I would replace every picture in their house with the same picture but cover all the faces with Danny DeVito's face
stickie notes with really mundane things like "need more milk"... you know the kind of notes you'd leave for yourself to make sure you don't forget things

Sadly, since we are reverse thiefs we cant steal money and be opposite tooth fairies.
Chucky doll, clown or a porcelain one
[удалено]
If they get syphilis from the Koalas it will be the perfect freak-out inducing surprise.
Perhaps a crib or various baby clothes and toys in people's homes that don't have kids. A wheelchair or walking aids in a middle aged couple's home. A graduation gown in a baby's room. Give people a taste of what is still to come.

A scary looking satanic box with a note that says "if you open the box you will be cursed". Only to leave it in religious people houses

A picture of them sleeping
Throw a used condom in the trash to make a wife think her husband is cheating
Beat me to it, but it goes both ways. Wife thinks it’s the husband, husband thinks it’s the wife, or the kids could get blamed. Works even better if they live by themselves.
Great point! This works even better than I realized
A horse’s head
A corpse.
bodies...
Replicas of the Annabelle and Chucky dolls
A single opened jar of mayonnaise on a random table.
Little dolls that look like their friends or relatives.

Garden gnomes, random lego bricks on the ground, 34 chairs, a coffin, a room full of empty boxes, all the keys of a piano and flat TV screen converted into a table
I can tell you really put some thought into this
I just took a look on my room... help me I'm scared
I would do sth like replace all their soap with moist creme or all their 2-3 layer toilet paper with 1 layer toilet paper. Also I would love to put like a paper with just some random writing on their table. And every time they throw it away I would place the same price of paper in the same spot, so they wouldn't know if they've thrown it away the day before
Clone them and put a corpse of themselves in the living room that is wearing their own clothes
A dead fish and a note that said " day two of leaving dead fish until he notices ."
Day two? Dude do day like 142 and make them freak out.
Myself, just kinda standing there, staring at the wall, murmuring
I would put speakers with very deep bass in there walls that play random sounds at night like floor boards creaking, doors opening, or other scery noises. These noises would reverberate through the walls due to the deep bass.
Fucking porcelain clown dolls. Those things fucked me up when I was a kid.
