Payback -- two years late but payback nonetheless...

IN January, 2004 I had written about a guy from Olympia, WA who covered a friends appartment with aluminum foil while the friend was out of town. Well, the payback is sweet -- from The Olympian:

Prankster's pals turn room into man-size hamster cage
Olympia resident finds new apartment transformed

Luke Trerice knew revenge would come after he encased a friend's apartment in aluminum foil more than two years ago.

Trerice, 28, did a gleeful dance of sorts when he opened the door to his downtown apartment and found one room had become a life-size hamster cage, according to witnesses. Hand-shredded newspapers 2-feet deep covered the floor, a giant water bottle dangled outside the window and a 6-foot hamster wheel sat prominently along one wall.

“That's what you do — you get giddy,” said the prank's mastermind, Keith Jewell, a longtime friend of Trerice and aluminum-foil victim Chris Kirk.

Back in January 2004, Trerice foiled Kirk's apartment when he was out of town. CD cases, books, dishes in the cupboards — hardly a thing was left untouched. For two weeks, Kirk was bombarded with media calls. Cleanup took two years. A giant ball of foil still sits in the basement of the complex.
