OK , statue of limitations has long ran out , what crazy maybe unlawful things did you do long ago ?
  Old roommate of mine did a crazy stunt that was just epic. He went to this high school (name redacted) that had an odd auditorium with a dome shaped roof. It was built into the hillside a bit.
  So , he had a old VW beetle that had been completely gutted for parts. They towed the car to the school at night with a chain. Him and a bunch of guys pushed the car to the back where the side wall was only about six feet to the start of the dome. They set up a bunch of planks and crates and pushed the car on top of the dome and left it there. Collected all the planks and crates and left.
  The next morning was a surprise to say the least. The school was perplexed on how the car got put there. They hired a crane to remove it. Made the front page of the paper and even got some TV coverage. Luckily those old Beetles had removable VIN tags on metal plates so they had no idea who used to own the car.
  The things you could get away with before security cameras became commonplace.....lol

Completely covered an under classmans car with vasoline one day at lunch.  About 10 of us did. He'd popped off a couple days early that if anyone messed with his car he was going to kick their butt. Trouble was he was all mouth and too many people wanted to call his bluff. He was in tears when he saw his car. Pretty much the whole high school came out to look at it. About 600 kids and all the teachers.

We lived on the edge of a golf course. We collected dog crap and filled the putting holes about half full.

My cousin and I caught a skunk and decided to have a little fun.  Don't know how but managed to get it in an old suitcase.   Then we put the suitcase along side the road and waited back in the weeds.  Not long after a car load of teenage kids came along.  When they seen the suitcase along side the road, they locked up the brakes.   One kid jumped out, ran back, grabbed the suitcase and then jumped into the back seat of the car.  Well the car took off but only made it about a block or so before skidding to a stop where 4 kids bailed out screaming and caughing.  We decided it wasn't a good idea to stick around and hightailed it out of there before they found us.

It didn't seem crazy at the time, and it still doesn't. Starting at 14 years old I hitchhiked all over the state.Often there was the broke down rifle in my backpack and/or traps. This was in the early to mid 70's.

Canon city had a coal powered electric plant. Town I lived in had a siding and coal cars coming through to the plant. Train ran through the royal gorge. Had walked the tracks through the gorge fishing but cousin and me decided to ride a coal train through it. His older brother agreed to pick us up in Canon. Train didnt stop till it got to Pueblo. Our ride said he didnt have enough gas when we called him and we only had enough money to call him. (pay phone for you youngsters. Long distance call) Called my dad collect. It was a fun adventure but consequences not so much.

My friends and I were always playing (mostly) harmless pranks on folks in the neighborhood. One time, we did something (I don't remember what) that caused a school mate's dad to call the police. Now nobody could have ever known it was us, so there was no danger of getting caught, but we were some kind of mad about having the fuzz called in. These folks had money, so they had a nice inground pool. They also lived in a small river. We went fishing and caught a couple of large carp and a bucket full of bullhead and released them in their pool at about 2am that night LOL. 
 
  
Just happy to be here.
