OK you lunatics.
Here's one I'm sure you'd like - and, I suspect many already have tried.
Some "acquaintances" of mine when I was in the RAAF used to do this to their
"mate's" car.
Setup oxy-acetylene torch to neutral flame.
Force flame out and then fill a container (2 litre fruit juice bottle I
believe) with the oxy/acetylene mix.
Gain access to "mate's" engine bay.
Remove one spark plug and fit it to the lid of the bottle.
Attach sparkplug lead.
Wait until end of day.
Watch the fun as "mate" attempts to start car.
Roll around on ground laughing.
Get punched by "mate".
This inevitably lead to 20 litre containers full of gas attached to holden
engine blocks (I always knew there was a use for them...) being sunk in the
creek out the back, which were then remotely detonated...
'later

How hard would it be to get a paint can, drill a hole in the top and install
a spark plug in the lid.. Fill the can full of your favourite substance,
Place under the bonnet, connect spark plug in your magic tin up to where
spark plugs should connect to... You know the rest.... Hmm, Devious! :)
Ok now we are getting slightly off-topic.
