pranksters put 3,000 forks in neighbors' yard

In Dubuque, Iowa, neighbors seeking payback for pranking neighbors, got even. With 3,000 forks.

The "Paybackers" planted 3,000 white plastic forks in the prankers yard and dangled more from the roof, fence and garage."We just wanted to do something funny to them, because every time we leave, they pull some prank on us," said one of the "Paybackers". She also promised to help pick up the forks.

Over the years, the pranksters have strung beer cans like holiday lights around the "Paybackers" home, put a for-sale sign in their yard and strung yellow crime-scene tape around chalk outlines of bodies on the sidewalk.
