      Some kid in my area did this, turns out his parents had a soak away system. Not only did it wreck the separation tank, but they got into the actual soak away grid. They're looking at a £25,000 bill just for the plumbing side of things. Not only is their garden dug up, their kitchen and living room has to be dug up because the pipe was set in concrete under there. Dumb some of a bitch didn't even record it, just photos from the contractors

    4:00: The idea behind the salt is from a chemistry standpoint, "water follows salt". Basically, the water molecules will follow across concentration gradients thus the water that was absorbed by the orbeez will, in theory, follow the salt back out of the orbeez making them small again.

    Following several complaints, we discovered that several water drainage outlets were obstructed, as well as several gardens. The substance found are balls of different sizes, please check in your garden because we have dispatched a request for analysis. To determine if these are polluting substances.
    Be aware, however, that each inhabitant who has found this substance on his land must file a complaint against the person or persons responsible for this pollution in order to obtain a criminal sanction. We lodged a complaint this morning with the gendarmerie to find out the source of this pollution.

    When i was in college we made the showers into a hot tub with some boards and a plastic sheet.
    At the end of the night we slit the plastic to let the water out.
    About 30 min later the fire alarms went off... but not how they should.. buzzing, crackling...
    We went to the head of the floor to see if what was up, and if we needed to evacuate.
    Seems it was only alarming on the floor above & below us.. something was wrong with the system.
    Getting back to our suite, we found our carpet was was soaked... and we figured it must have been from our hot tub.. we closed our door. A bit later we spoke with the head of the floor and that the fire alarm was a shorted out from the boiler tanks leaking at the top of the building....
    We put up fans and dried everything out, making sure out door stayed closed all weekend, never speaking about it outside the 8 of us, no one suspecting we caused it.

    Rough, quick translation of the letter :
    "Mister, Madam,
    Following multiple complaints, we have discovered that multiple drains have been obstructed, as well as multiple gardens, with different sizes of marbles. Please check in your garden, we have sent a requests (sic) for analysis, to determine if those are dangerous for the environment.
    Please know that any inhabitant who found this substance on their terrain must file a complaint against the person(s) responsible for this pollution in order to obtain a penal sanction.
    We have filed a complaint at the [police station] in order to determine the origin of this pollution.
    Of course you'll be informed at every step."
    This is the final coffin in the nail. First, an official document doesn't contain obvious grammar errors that only an idiot would make.
    Second, you can't force someone to lodge a complaint. You can initiate a class action ; If it's city-wide, the city officials can lodge a complaint on behalf of the city, but you can't say "You must file a complaint". Even if I've been assaulted and I know who it is with undeniable proof, I can choose not to press charges if I so damn will. A city official won't tell you that you have to file a complaint, they can do it themselves.
    Third, he says he received that letter in his mailbox right after walking his dog. If he went to walk his dog in the same day, that's extremely fishy. French bureaucracy isn't that fast, you don't receive a letter ~1 hour after it's happened. He'd have received it the day after, at the very least.

    When i was a kid i used to light firecrackers and throw them into a toilet. I'm so damn lucky that it didn't blow up to pieces. I even flushed a few.
    It just seemed so fascinating to me that the fuse would still be burning underwater.
