Ok, here is a nice little gag you can give a try, but you may want to be sure the person on the receiving end is a good buddy, otherwise you might find a highly ticked off prankee.
Alright, lets get right into this prank. You will need one douchebag friend that drives a motorcycle and thinks he's cool. You know the type. They are the prime target for a stunt like this. Ok, now this may take just you and a buddy or maybe you and a few buddies.
Lets start with the setting. You will want to head somewhere that you are going to have a good amount of time where your target is away from his precious little motorcycle. You may achieve this by going to dinner, a bar, or a park, or whatever it takes. You just need to have something to occupy your target while you operate. Or maybe you will the be the distraction while your accomplices operate. Either way, we are going to need our subject seperated from and unconcerned about his ride.
When you have your hook set just go ahead and excuse yourself for just a few minutes, or if you are the hook then keep him right there and motion to your friends. Or a crafty cat like you may have it set up that your friends will move in after so many minutes. However you go about just get the ball rolling and once it is, don't let anything take your target anywhere near his transportation unit.
The idea is for you and a buddy, or several buddies depending on your size and strength and the size of the bike, to relocate his most precious possession. Move it to the opposite side of the building, stash it in behind a dumpster, move it behind a large truck out of sight. (one you know isn't leaving and going to crush his ride lol)
Now for the fun part. Here is the key to this being a fun prank. *Act Natural* A lot of people miss the funny reaction because they are either grinning, giggling, or just flat out acting weird when they are trying to pull a great gag. Hold a straight face and exit the event with your buddy. Now enjoy them flipping out and going crazy saying things like "who stole my bike, omg where's my ##%@! bike?"
I do need to point out that you may want to let your buddy know that it is just a goof if he goes to call the cops. You wouldn't believe the lack of humor found in the police force. I can understand because they have to take care of us and keep us from danger and can't have a bunch of false fires, but....sometimes I think they could laugh at this stuff. Anyway, hope you enjoy this little bit from gag gifts and pranks.

Pranks:Zip Ties
Ok for a little more gag gifts and pranks type fun.Do any of you have a really annoying co-worker? Of course we all do. We have that one guy that just drives us absolutely crazy. Well, worry no more my friends, today's lesson is going to train you in the art of the "zip tie prank". This is a sure fire way to get under the skin of anyone who has been getting on your nerves.
Now then, seeing how this is such a broad topic I will simply cover one aspect of it. Your imagination is the only limit to the number of ways you can pull off your own version of the "zip tie prank". I encourage you to leave your own versions in a comment. The more we prank together, the happier we'll be.
Ok, this prank calls for a few different things. Zip ties of course, you can find these just about anywhere. You also need one victim. I advise going for the cocky annoying people who need a little help down the self-esteem ladder as opposed to the guy that one last thing might make him snap. You will also need multiple items of your victim's. Last but not least for this version, a locker. As I said you can come up with your own forms, but this is the one I saw, therefore the one I will cover.
Alright then we have our zip ties and we are at work, so we are ready for action. Well well, what do you know, our victim says something annoying as usual and heads to lunch. This is going to be the best time to implement our prank. Move out prankster!
Head over to your victim's locker. (It is of course unlocked because it is full of work gear that we use at our job and nobody would want to steal) Open it up. If you are lucky they have all kinds of different items inside. Things like a coat, pants, hats, boots, shoes, vests, ponchos. Anything at all in that locker can be incorporated in the prank.
Now you want to zip tie everything in that locker to....you guessed it....everything in that locker. Now stuff everything back in the locker. Try to make it look as natural as possible. Now, position yourself in a nice vantage point, or set you up one of those little wireless cameras nearby to enjoy it over and over.
Now when the victim come strutting in he will head to his locker to grab whatever item he might be in need of. Unbeknownst to him everything in that locker is coming out with it. Now he has to spend a couple minutes of his precious time getting everything cut apart. This one was a really good laugh here at my work.
I'm sure you won't have any troubles coming up with your own ideas after reading this. I know telemarketing you could ziptie there headset to their chair for sure. Anyways feel free to experiment and check back in with us here for more gag gifts and pranks.

Gag Gift Classic: Rubber Chicken
Alright, as far as gag gifts and pranks are concerned this is one of the oldest boys in the book. Now I want you all to know, a little background on me. When I was a young lad say around the age of four or five my uncle would ask "what do you want to be when you grow up?" I would reply to this "a chicken farmer" I would also walk around the house "laying eggs" Ok, now that we have all my oddness out there and out of the way lets get a little further in our investigation of this amazing prop.
I find it quite amuzing all the mystery surrounding this classic. Nobody is sure exactly where the thing first came from. You have some different people who latch out and try to claim the rights, but we are left without a definitive answer. Now then, lets check the who's who of the props beginnings.
Joseph Grimaldi is high on the list of those competing for the "King of Cluck" title. He was a legendary white face clown in the 1800's. Beyond that I don't know much about the guy. A post for another day.
Then there is some company by the name of Loftus Novelty who many attribute the orgination of the rubber chicken to. There company was founded in 1939 and have been creating gag gifts and novelty items ever since.
There are still multiple other versions of the creation of this bad bird. It just adds to the power of the prop that it has no originator. We may not know where this thing came from, but it would appear it isn't going anywhere.
Funny story in my own experience with rubber chickens. We have a store called Spencers in our local mall. They had rubber chickens that you would squeeze and they let out this high pitch squeel. Funny part is they had these things hanging on a rack and they hung about 15-20 of 'em together. I would bear hug the whole rack of 'em. The noise they let out was ridiculous and people would get all freaked out. It was funny. Everyone should have this gag gift classic in their bag of tricks.
