Once in college, my fraternity brothers relocated me to the roof of the house, after doing the same thing.

A long time ago I worked with a bunch of guys that got really drunk at the company Christmas party. We took one guy that was completely plastered and sent him up on a pallet, on a ~30' forklift! Then we all went home for the holiday. In fact we had all forgotten about him! When we all came back a couple of days later and Phil wasn't in on time, it suddenly dawned on everyone...oh...what ever happened to Phil? Apparently he had woke up some number of hours later and managed to climb down. Not only did he show up late for work that day, he had a bit of an attitude problem, IMO.

They tried to lure the bear away using snack food and more beer.
I think they caught about a dozen campers first before finally catching the bear!
