Haha...this brings back memories...

Used to pop lockers at a local YMCA when I was like 11. They had 'free swim' time during the day in the summer. Afterwards, I'd hang around and pop the locks off. As little as spare change and as much as $300. Eventually they started catching on so I had to chill.

Called in a bomb threat to my school when I was 12. A friend wanted to get out of a test so I said I'd call in a bomb threat. Well, I had to do it like 3 times because they kept rescheduling the test. Got caught after his mom overheard him and I talking about it on the phone and a local businesman recognized me using his payphone.

Also when I was 12, I started selling 'red boxes' to people. Old telephones used to transmit key strokes when you inserted money. So I was able to program phone dialers with these keystrokes and sell them so people (drug dealers mostly) could use payphones w/o sticking money in them.

When I was 14, I used to 'rent' my pager to people for tests. At first, it only worked for multiple choice tests...a=1, b=2, c=3, etc. I'd just go to the payphone during study period and page myself with the answers to whoever had it. As I got into my junior year, I got an NEC alpha-numeric pager. So then I started charging more because I could send actual text messages.

When I was 15, I broke into a local Radio Shack. Planned the whole thing out for months, right down to a list of SKU numbers of what I wanted to get. Ended up getting significantly less because a friend chickened out and I had to go it alone.

When I was 18, I paintballed some dudes car and apartment with frozen paintballs. A few nights before, it was mischief night. A couple of friends and I threw some eggs at his house. Well, the next day, he goes by one kids house and sets a pile of leaves on fire...NOT COOL! So I froze some paintballs and we went out to dudes building. He had the window open so we threw like 2 or 3 eggs in and ran to the bushes. As soon as he came to the window, I let a good 10 or so paintballs loose...shattered the window. As we walk in the park around the corner, dude is in his car with a flashlight talking about, "I'm gonna get you, blah blah blah". So from behind a slide, I let another 15 or 20 go through his back windshield till he finally sped away. Now that was good times!!

so many stories...
