At my school there was a teacher who was particularly 'popular' and people took great delight in once a year removing his hubcaps for him and placing them on the top of one of the toilet buildings. The plan was in their last 6th form year on the last day of term they were going to leave the hubcaps where they were on the tarmac and take the car up there instead. The dad of the ringleader ran a building firm and was doing work at the school on the gym and thus had a reason to have equipment on site. His dad confirmed that the roof would take the weight and "then some" no problems at all (he was actively encouraging this). The plan was (IIRC) to bring over a flat bed van, planks and tools and create a ramp which they could use a pulley to pull the car up onto the flat roof.
Day of the hoist arrives everybody is demob happy what with the summer holidays just hours away, van is on standby and they just need the teacher (and his car) to appear. Who does come to school but "decided to walk as it's such a lovely day."
