One of our favourites was going into a narrow street of victorian houses... tieing fishing line to the knocker of one front door then to a house opposite... give the fishing line a tug so as to knock the door of one house they'd open their door to find no one, thusly knocking the door of the house opposite... who would then open their door thusly re knocking the door of the house opposite.. hours of fun hiding watching people get annoyed..
