They did that to a TV celeb here, recently.
He has this really nice classic sports car and they found a crushed car the same colour, similar style.
Took his out of its space outside the studios, put the crushed one in the spot, with a 20 ft container on top of it and parked a very worried looking container truck driver and his rig beside it, then they called him and said he needed to come out to the parking lot NOW.
It was sooooo funny, but very mean, needless to say this guy is known for practical jokes and this was payback from his TV friends.
