Report his car stolen about 5 minutes after he leaves work. Tell the police where they're likely to find him.

Hard and silly to do, but if you laugh at their prank everytime they do it, eventually it's not funny for them. They will eventually stop on their own. You see, the reaction they want from you is to get angry and bother. If you laugh with them, you have just taken the fun out of it. Worked for me.

someone played this prank when I was at a bike racing camp. The victim was devastated until I told him where the bike was. The next morning, we took the sleeping perpetrator down to the lake and threw him in. Probably not the best way to wake up, and not the smartest thing we ever did. But it sure was satisfying.

Did you find your bike with excessive searching that prolonged your day more than a few minutes?

If not, just be glad that you work with a bunch of "jackdonkeys". The occasional harmless prank makes the day go better.

If it was well hidden and caused you much of a delay, then you should do something. Pranks are fine, so long as they don't cause too much trouble.

How, exactly do you take someone somewhere without waking him?

People that know me know not to touch my bike ...sometimes I have to teach them

This would be really funny.....till they trace the call back to the prankster. Cops tend not to see the humor in this type of thing.

Go buy some frozen shrimp, after work take his/her office chair apart. Like most office chairs there are a lot of empty spaces, fill said empty spaces with frozen shrimp, put chair back together. Hilarity will ensue withing a few days.

Find out who is was, and let the air out of their car tires during lunchtime. Hey it;s funny right?

Never watched "meatballs"? Apparently it's quite easy.

Bwahahaha! Awesome.


A couple of gear-head friends of mine back in college used to prank each other back and forth, and this trick sounds similar to one they pulled: Anchovies zip-tied near the cabin air intakes on one guy's car.

One of my friends back in high school had this horrid fish odor coming from his car, (think summer heat, in Texas). It took him several days to figure out that someone had dumped a can of sardines inside one of his hub caps.

Not sure what type of people or environment you work in, but people around these parts know better than to touch another person's property.

I once wired a piezo buzzer to the brake lights of an ex's car. Every time she hit the brakes it made a loud BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP! sound until the brake was released. Because the pitch was relatively high, she couldn't tell where in the car it was coming from. Very effective. I did eventually remove it.

There's two ways to handle this the hardass way and the you'll never mess with me again way.

The hardass way:
If it put you in a bind professional, report it to your HR. No one should be going into your office or cubicle without your consent for any reason. I once got talked to simply for using a telephone in a friends cubicle when she wasn't there, thanks to an office busy body/snitch.

The never mess with me again route:
Can be many things. Including super gluing everything in the responsible parties office to the ceiling. Moving their entire office into the bathroom. Moving their entire office, furniture and all into the parking lot, etc.

Never had an experience like the OP's. However, it might just be a harmless prank with un-intentional consequences. I can understand getting upset, especially if you have plans, but I doubt the pranksters would know about it. If you find out who it was my suggestion would be to talk to them about it and explain your feeling on the matter or inconvenience it caused. Sometimes though, a little levity in the workplace can make work a little more fun (unless it's at your expense ).

However, if this is some kind of ongoing incident then alert supervisors and keep some kind of electronic or paper trail of your communication. While workplace shennanigans can have their place, intentional acts done with deliberate malice are unacceptable.

I have a friend with a tow truck..... We'll leave it at that.

My coworkers are very protective of my bike. Once someone saw someone near my bike (Parked in a stairwell) and told someone else... they rushed in there to put the beat down on the person... only to find my wife locking her bike up next to mine!

When your co-workers see you get pissed the prank has worked. I'd take the opportunity to show what a good sport you are. Otherwise it's just going to get harder and harder.
