I did, and I'm ashamed for what I did, because the people I did it to didn't deserve it. If there's any justice in the world my yard will be rolled by 15 year olds on sunday.
Fortunately there's no justice in this world.

Folks, TP is the least of what we did. Just to give you an example:
(1) We jacked up the principal's car in his own driveway. Took all four tires; made rope swings out of them (wheels and all), and hung the rope swings on four of his neighbor's trees.
(2) At homecoming, our school "borrowed" EVERY sign we could find in town, and planted them on the school grounds. The Kip's "Big Boy" went on top of the school.
(3) All sophmores got "crew cuts".
That's only the beginning. But we had a rule. We NEVER did anything that couldn't be undone. Ok, you can't get all the TP out of the trees but it comes out eventually. Some students bent that rule by stealing stop signs at homecoming, but my crew wouldn't.

I didn't TP, but I know for a fact my sister did. One day my dad was moving her car from the street to the garage and smelled something terrible. In tracking down the smell he opened the trunk and found several rolls of toilet paper and several rotting jack-o-lanterns... Busted! Her and her friends were out causing trouble around Halloween and forgot to get rid of the evidence afterwards.
The funny thing was this was at the end of a very mild November that my dad finally found it. She had had those rotting pumpkins in the trunk for a month and when she noticed the smell her first instinct was to get a spray air freshener and spray it in her car every day, rather than track down where the smell was coming from and fix it.

We did it to friends too. But also enemies. And somtimes random strangers because the yard looked juicy.I did, and I'm ashamed for what I did, because the people I did it to didn't deserve it. If there's any justice in the world my yard will be rolled by 15 year olds on sunday.
And it didn't stop once we exited the "kid" phase.

This poll is defective: it lacks an option for "friends and enemies alike."
Way back when I was in highschool (yeah, Aristotle was one of my teachers), we'd do this in rather spectacular fashion. We would stop by the supermarket, and buy generic asswipes by the case. During one memorable outing, we bought 6 cases of TP for a caravan of 18 cars containing a mob of 47 people (that's when we learned smaller commando teams were quieter and therefore more effective.
We did such a thorough job that we received a reputation for our work. Getting hit by us became something of a popularity thing, and we would get requests from people who wouldn't otherwise give us the time of day (ie, cute girls) for us to hit their house. The school yearbook even sent a team of photographers to shoot a staged event (at the house of one of the girls in our group).
Aside from occasional high-speed chases involving irate homeowners, the only time things went truly bad was when we pre-planned a raid against a girl we were none too fond of in Cicero (Al Capone's old home town, for those of you needing a reference). There was maybe 6 or 8 of us, and the building was a large corner 3 flat surrounded by very tall elm trees with branches trimmed up to about 25 feet. The moment we launched our assault, we were suddenly surrounded by Cicero's finest, who had laid an ambush. 13 cop cars had sealed every avenue of escape. The girl's father came out enraged (he heard this was going to happen and arranged for the trap). He demanded we clean everything up, which of course was quite impossible since the tree branches were so high! I turned on my charm (such as it was) and convinced the father that this was actually an act of endearment - we only did this to people we loved (god how we hated that fat skank). He caved in, and decreed that we should be let go. After all that, the cops didn't even get a collar out of it!

The seniors where I went to high school used to pull one gigantic prank on Halloween every year. There was a small courtyard in the bottom level of our school (which wasn't that big itself), kind of the hollow center of the square bottom floor. They'd always stick something in there for school the next day, like a few signs or something.
Well, my senior year they decided to do something more grand. They somehow managed to get an entire rusted car in there; they must have gotten it to the roof and lowered it down somehow, I have no idea... and some pigs, and some chickens, and some signs, and TP...
Our principal was so pissed off, I've always regretted not being a part of that.
