This guy's home security camera prank backfired hilariously badly

Turns out that pranks aren't just limited to play out on the first of April, and they're certainly not just for kids either. Especially thanks to the sophisticated technology around these days, pranks can be pulled off when you're not even in the room with hilarious results. As was the case with this story. This is Nick Kocher, and he's protagonist of our little tale today.

Anyway, the young New Yorker recently decided to troll a friend of his who was staying at his apartment while he was away. He told the whole story on a long thread on Twitter, and it's quite a ride. Here, have a read for yourself. It all began back when Nick got his jacket stolen.

It's a bit of a predicament, isn't it? For peace of mind, Nick decides to install a security camera inside his home, in case anyone were to break in.

Until Nick needs to leave town for the weekend and he asks his friend Jon to stay at his place. That's when the fun begins.
