House-Sitting Photo Pranks

This Prankster Sent Photoshopped Updates to a Homeowner on Vacation

If you're watching a friends place over April Fools Day, check out this house sitting prank. While a friend went on vacation, this house sitter sent photoshopped "update" photos of their house in less than ideal conditions.

The first email shows the house seemingly okay, until you look in the second story window where a naked surprise is waiting to be soon. The second email shows the house looking as if it got a full pink and purple paint makeover. The house sitter continues the pranks by "boarding up the windows" and adding evictions notices to the exterior. If the first three weren't enough, the homeowner then gets to see Godzilla towering over their place and lastly, their house up in flames.

This is a great idea if you want to torment someone who's travelling for a day or two with April Fools Day coming up.
