Shouldn't say this but I have done this and it is hilarious.
Mate gets married, they plan to leave for honeymoon in their VN Commodore
with central locking. Made up some touch powder (low yield high temperature
powder explosive. Detonation stability so low friction will set it off).
During reception take off door trims and pile touch powder around solenoid
shaft bases on each door's locking mechanism. Get your Dick Smith 'smart
remote' and copy keylock frequency with it.
When mate and new wife drive off, cans dragging behind, hit remote and
activate central locking. The touch powder melts the solenoid shaft in a
fraction of a second and the doors are welded locked. Unsuspecting couple
has to climb out of windows at next stop!!!
I have a better story, which happened after I joined the coppers. About 4
years ago a drunk was picked up nude at Harrisville, a country town near
here. He was paralytic and obviously had no ID. Too drunk to go to
watchhouse, he went to Hospital. He was so pissed,they put him in a
medically induced coma so they could rehydrate his body. When he came
around 2 days later he was hysterical. The Doctor, who shall remain
nameless, immediately put him back into a medically induced coma to control
him. At this stage no-one knew of his identity still. They brought him out
of the coma after 24 hours and he went berserk again. He couldn't speak
properly because of the medication, but kept fighting to get out. They
wrote him off as mentally ill and injected him with drugs making him a
drooling mess. A few days later 2 blokes rocked up at Harrisville Station
to sheepishly report their school chum from Tweed Heads missing. They had
his bucks party at Cooloongatta, got him pissed, and drove him up to where
they lived at Harrisville where they got him more pissed, stripped him and
tied him to a power pole. he obviously untied himself and staggered off and
the whole mess commenced. He was due to get married a week after his bucks
and missed it by a day. his missus broke up with him over it and I believe
he is still a Tweed Heads icon..... I was told this story by an old
Sergeant, and never believed him, until he showed me the file!!!

Pete,
Same mix different scenario, Air matress (old/no longer wanted),
remote/delay fuse setup, = BBBBIG Mother Bang !!! and sometimes
hole/impression in road (after hot day).
Scenario 2. Coke can thin copper wire, sealing wax, solenoid connection. Ah
damn doesn't anyone ever grow up????
Children do not do this at home, as you will get badly hurt!!!
Cheers
Feral Errol

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.
