I once heard about a student prank where the students moved the priciple's car across the car park. It turned out he wasn't very amused and moving a car over more than a handful of feet legally counts theft, so the students were prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
I've been trying to dig the story up but I seem to come up empty, so don't quote me on it.
Tame. Caulfield Institute of Tech students circa when I went to Uni disassembled a car took it up to the 4th floor in the lift then reassembled it In Australian style no charges were laid as I recall.
We in the metal shop gang disassembled the coach's Beetle and reassembled it on the stage in the gym for Junior Prom. Good thing he had a sense of humor and called off the principal... we almost didn't get to go.
Another time we cut blocks in wood shop exactly the right height to go under the swingarms and hold the rear wheels just 1" off the ground. The look on his face as he tried to pull out of the lot was priceless... especially when got out, walked around the car, and tried to leave again.
Another time we hooked a car horn up to the starter circuit and hid it under the dash. He got us back with that though... turned it into his "practice whistle" and ran us ragged doing laps back and forth.

We always fessed up, and we cheerfully undid anything we did to his car. Probably the only reason we actually graduated... that and the fact he got free repairs in auto mech, where half of us were the same kids.
Of course, I grew up in a different age... where joyriding was treated as a prank gone too far and resolved like adults between parents, and the cops' first response wasn't lethal force or trying to prosecute a 12-year-old as an adult.
