The best I've seen: a buddy lifted up a ceiling panel in the drop ceiling of a coworker's office and inserted a $15 radio shack remote controlled car. He then gave the remote control to the disgruntled billing guy working in the hallway.
Every few hours the billing guy would pull out the remote and drive the car around for a minute or two: "WHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRR BUMP! WHHRRRRRRRR BUMP!"
After 3 or 4 days the victim came into my office complaining about the "construction on the roof" and wondering when they would be finished. He said the drilling was so loud that it was hard to work!

What started from taping something on someones door or cube wall escalated into the following.
This past year we had an intern turned hire. His desk is only partitioned on 3 sides as most cubes are and 2 of them were half height as they are part of a walkway. Anyway, he was traveling for a week and we basicallly constructed a dummy of him from boxes and photoshop. Put it in his chair and built a house out of cardboard around it complete with a working door, windows, roof and satellite.
Another guy got an office filled with balloons 3-4 feet high and put all around his desk and path to the desk. Kept them in place with packing cellophane and took every large potted plant from all the offices and elsewhere and put them up against the wall of balloons. Hit the lights and close the door.
Can't do anything too bad in my place. One guy though sent an email as if it was from said intern/hire to the president and some others asking for the day off early to go catch Brokeback Mountain with a special friend. Intern was not pleased.
Oh yeah, and another person told me of one time they called a hotel they knew someone was travelling to before they actually got there. They posed as the person and asked for rubber sheets put under the mattress because he had a bedwetting problem.

That's what I saidEsav Benyamin said:Ya still can't spell accutramonte!
My Godfather had a running feud with a coworker...
Jacked his car up just so the rear wheels would spin.
Guy goes back in the house to get to call tow truck.
Godfather lets car down.
Tow truck arrives, mechanic drives car around driveway.
Victim pays, mechanic leaves.
Victim goes in house.
Car gets jacked up again.
Same guy would coast down the hill and not stop an pick up said uncle/Godfather because he'd lose his momentum and have to start the motor.
Uncle got a length of rope...one end to the tree one end to the axle.
He waited where the rope pulled tight.
