Flamingo flocking.....

You buy ten pink plastic flamingos and then pick ten front yards in your neighbourhood to host the flamingos. Hang a "ransom note" round each flamingo's neck saying that for a certain sum of money you will remove the flamingo. Include contact details and an explanation of why you are raising money. You can provide a price list: £10 to have the flamingo removed from your lawn, £15 to have the flamingo moved to the lawn of your choice or even £10 for "Insurance for the Prevention of Large Pink Birds"
