A Scottish prankster’s friends decided to celebrate his 24th birthday in style -- bricking up the front door of his house and decorating his car.

Posters of Dave Devanna were also put up around the Edinburgh neighborhood of Sighthill View, The Scotsman reported Thursday.

Gregor Todd, the mastermind of the birthday festivities, said it was payback for Devanna’s work on his car on his birthday. Devanna’s Golf GTI, one of his favorite possessions, acquired a stuffed rabbit on the hood with some realistic bloodstains, balloons were placed inside and the doors covered with cellophane to keep the owner out.

Devanna’s partner, Laurie Bain, found out something was up when she opened the front door to take their 4-year-old daughter to school and found she was looking at a wall.

Devanna, who is self-employed, missed some jobs on his birthday because he could not get into his car. But he enjoyed the prank and it has inspired him to make an even greater effort for Todd’s next birthday.
