Heh, yeah for a grand I'd send in an anonymous tip. Especially with college coming up... that goes a long ways towards tuition, housing, all that stuff.
You might buy your books for that, and just have a little left over for a night on the town

The principal also stated that if they are spotted on campus again between now and June 2nd, they will be arrested again for trespassing.
Have my group of friends done stupid pranks? Yes.. we did. They were harmless and some we even cleaned up or put back after having a good laugh. We weren't the violent / destructive type.. just the occasional prank. We still have a good laugh about them years later now and then! I guess times have changed

We put about 30 in her yard (about .5 acre ). Of course she was old, so me and my partner in crime went over the next morning and helped her clean them up, even she got a kick out of it, and nobody was hurt, and nothing was damaged.

> so it's another burden costing school districts money that shouldn't have to be spent
Yea, I have to agree with this the most. Especially if you take $1,000-$5,000 and multiple it by 3-4 schools. Leaving stinking fish in lockers only punishes the students following them. Soaping floors could seriously hurt someone that did not expect it. To me, a prank is putting a plastic cow on top of a building or something that can easily be undone, not something rude and in your face like stinking fish.
I think not walking, summer school, and paying for damages (police time wasted etc.) would be enough punishment for a stupid prank and would discourage others from doing pranks like it. To me, what they intended went over the line from a prank to a crime, especially with the B&E. Hopefully, they know where the line is now.

This is from todays Atlanta Journal.
Boys jailed after killing plot alleged
Two middle school boys are accused of planning a large-scale killing at their school in Winder.
"They were planning on a Columbine-style killing," said Winder police Lt. Kristi Schmitt.
The two students -- who were not identified -- were arrested Friday after police investigated a tip from fellow students.
The two are being held in Gainesville while they await a Thursday hearing. They've been charged with conspiracy to commit murder, making terroristic threats and disruption of a public school.
Police did not release details of the alleged plot, although they did recover weapons from the boys' homes.
Schmitt said the boys planned on "killing anyone in their path" during an attack they had planned for this Friday. A letter was sent home to parents, and Superintendent Ron Saunders said the boys would not be allowed to return to Russell Middle School.
Things like this is why authorities take a dim view of certain types of pranks.
