I had something like this happen. My friend is a massive prankster, and I let it escalate to the point, where they weren't just pranks. One day he came in with a bunch of goons and they seized every piece of IT equipment I had, including the fridge with the large screen. On the way in they shot the dog and tossed a smoke grenade into the crib, which was fortunately empty since baby was at my baby mama's house. Since my child support was based on my IT salary, I owed her $12500 monthly in child support. Court does not care that I'm unemployed now, and they're seizing custody. Lesson learned, do not let these pranks escalate unanswered. It can make you lose your dog, your kid, and/or make you a deadbeat dad. Be courageous, and say goodbye to your potentially horrendous friend while you can.
