Best prank you've ever done?

The benefit of time and maturity make me look back on my youth with gratitude I didn't face consequences from some royally stupid ideas.

Same here. I did soooooo many stupid things that I could have gotten in serious trouble for, but never got caught.

Now that I'm older, I don't do nearly as many stupid things. Now I just say stupid things.
 
A couple of friends, my son and I were playing a golf outing and we had to drive to the furthest hole from the clubhouse to start. Which put us a long ways away from the clubhouse at the end of the days drinking and golfing. The last hole my son and I are finishing up our puts and heading back to our cart and my two buddies take off waving and laughing. My son tries to get going and the golf cart won't go. They took the keys from our cart and when they got to the top of the hill started dangling them laughing. They eventually came back but I told them I wouldn't have so beware.
 
Couple more that I either participated in or had happen to me...

I took my album collection to school with me - 200-ish +/- maybe. Friends broke in and methodically took all my albums, all my sleeves and all my album covers and mixed them up. So to FIX, I had to grab an album cover, pull out the now incorrect sleeve then take out the now incorrect album and continue mixing and matching for a long friggin' time.

Friends got married and somehow we gained access to their place during the festivities. We went through their drawers and took every piece of underwear we could - mens and women's - threw them in the sink, soaked them thoroughly then hucked them ALL into the freezer in a giant blob.

Then somehow someone gained access to OUR house and took the labels off each and every canned food item.
 
Scary movies don't scare me any longer than in the moment, but I would have peed my pants if you did this to me.
Not a prank, but fits with the previous discussion of the the ring. We watched it at the house of my friend girlfriend. One if the other guys had already seen it and built it up something fierce and we all freaked out when she crawled out of the tv.

Fast forward to 1 am and my drive home, she lived in the country about three miles from my house, Also in the country. My tire blows out so I have to attempt changing a rear tire, with no light but my dome light shining through the open car door with my back to the creek which is pitch black, with bobcats screaming in the ditch. I have never been so freaked , or changed a tire so quickly in my life!
 
Fraternity late 80's early 90's. During the VIESHEA flaot building it was always fun to send a couple of pledges to retrieve the wood welder or the rebar strecher. They'd head off to another fraternity and that house would inform them that they just lent it out to another house, so they would be doing a wild goose chase for a fair amount of time. Until one day the goose chase ended. Looked down the driveway one afternoon watching these two guys dragging a truck rim with 6 feet of square tubing welded to the hub of the rim. On the tip top of the square tubing there were a pair of jumper cables attached. Those of us standing around watching this asked wtf it was. Turns out someone built a wood welder. We had it for about a half-hour before some pledges from another house dragged it off.

The ol' switcheroo. The best of pranks - where the prankster gets what they asked for. Excellent.
 
I slightly unplugged all the USB cables for the IT support manager at our office over a lunch break and told all the IT service people I was doing it. Who does the IT support head call when his tech doesn't work? No one, that's who.
