Monkeyboy...
...was off on holiday with his fiancee "fish face" in a couple of days, so we thought we'd play a prank on him. We stole his passport and wrapped it very carefully in many layers of cellophane, then submerged it in water in a nice deep tin and froze it. Once frozen we removed the tin and left the block of ice in the freezer.
A day later, when he was due to go to the airport later that day, he was frantically looking around for his passport. He was getting more and more frantic as time passed until finally we couldn't take it anymore.

"Are you SURE you haven't seen my passport?" he asked.
"Um, have you checked the freezer?"
"The Freezer? THE FREEZER?"

He was not amused. He was not amused by having to smash the block of ice open, or chip away at the ice surrounding his passport; he was also not amused to find that cellophane isn't very waterproof, and many of the ink stamps in his passport had run. He put it in the airing cupboard until he left, and it was prety much dry by the time he presented it at customs. He managed to get away on holiday and return, but "fish face" dumped him only 2 days into the fortnight, making it quite a miserable experience; I doubt the passport stunt had anything to do with this.
