This reminds me of a college prank my roommate and I pulled.

Seems our friend Jon rushed out and bought a new Corvair the day
he heard they were being discontinued (this dates the story, huh?).
In celebration, my roommate Scott and I took Jon out for a couple of brews. 
While they were engaged in 12 oz lifts, I sneaked out and removed
all the interior window winder knobs and door handles from Jon's new
car.  Later, when Jon returned home alone from the pub, he spend a
fair time waving to passers-by and pounding on the glass to get
someone to let him out of the car:  <oh look Jane, there's a weird drunk
man in that Corvair....>

In such ways are great friendships forged <or destroyed>.
