Neighborhood Pranks

JOATMON thought this was worth mentioning said

I got home this evening rather late; around 10pm. I am having a new roof put on, so the yard isn't looking normal with stuff in piles all over. I'm walking up to my entry way in the dark, and I see some dark shape in it. I get closer, and I recognize it's one of those plastic garbage cans (the big ones you take your garbage to the curb in). I get even closer, and I see it's not completely upright, but leaning against my front door. And it's full of water.

It was designed to fall inward when I opened the front door and flood my entry hall. But, of course, it doesn't work when I'm on the outside when it is set up. So, I think it was somebody who doesn't know me; anybody in the neighborhood who knows me would know I wasn't home. I put it upright and then emptied it down the steps into the front yard.

Who does this shit to random people? And if random, are you just imagining in your head what will happen, and never see the actual aftermath?
