Man this thread is one of the best things I've read in a while. Makes my youth seem boring!
The only really crazy thing I instantly recall was a time during the summer when the ice cream truck would come around the neighborhood. As it was moving slowly along everyone circled around and laid their bikes on the street in front of it, then jumped on back of the truck and shook it like crazy, making stuff fall off the racks inside and scaring the driver.
The next day we all peeked from over fences as the truck returned with a single police car escort trying to catch all the bad kids.
It's funny to think about that now - everyone has a cell phone now and the driver could have just called the cops right then. But I'm sure he had to go to a pay phone or the actual police station.
