Petty SabotageI once put magnets on my brothers collection of ZX81 cassettes, so when he attempted to play them, they were full of errors and yet apparently undamaged. Can you beat that? Tell us your tales of petty sabotage.

Paperclips & BatteriesAt school I used to get a box of paperclips, and bend them into exactly the right shape so that they'd clip on to a battery and make contact with both ends. (I'd make a few of different sizes, so that they'd fit a variety of different battery types.)
Then I'd sneak off to the science area when nobody was looking and attach them to all the batteries for the electronics equipment - so when a class came to do an electronics lesson there were no working batteries left as they'd all been short-circuited by the paper clips. Handy devices they were.
Shoolkids have way too much time on their hands.
