Curses!

When Chris Kirk, 33, went away on a business trip, his friend Luke Trerice, 26, took care of his Olympia, Wash., apartment for him. Kirk arrived back home to find everything in his place was wrapped in aluminum! Everything. The walls, the kitchen cabinets, even the spare change on his bedside table. Rolls of toilet paper were unrolled, wrapped, and rolled back up.

"It went surprisingly fast," Trerice said of the project, which took 4,000 square feet of foil. "The toilet was hard. The molding around the doorways took a very long time."

Trerice is "known for large-scale strangeness," Kirk said.

How did he react when he first saw his home?

"I heard him open the door and gasp," said a neighbor. Then, the inevitable scream: "Curses! Foiled Again!"
