College theft.
A friend and I decided to see how many obscure items we could steal from our college.
We experimented with different excuses as to why we had those items if we ever got caught.
The best one was when we stole a fairly long pole (I can't remember where we got it from) and when asked what we were doing with it we simply stated "We're art students."
For some reason that sentence seemed to explain everything...

I can attest to that statement.
Tell someone your an art student and no matter how crazy your actions are, they will be accepted.

College trophying ftw.
The number of times Collingwood's doormat went missing. The Hatfield Day banner that appeared outside our dining hall with an S added in a strategic place. Enough signs etc. being stolen to kit out a whole set of roadworks.

It is a truth universally acknowledged
..that students and signs are.. well, we've all done it.

*ahem* Private Collection 1st place goes to Welsh "Danger of Death" sign I clambered through brambles and up a telegraph pole to retrieve.

"art student"

I used to...
...live with an artist and found that a delightfully effective way of explaining a variety of mishaps and unusual situations.

But then, it was usually the real reason.
