Our youth group does something like that, except we use an old toilet from the junk yard. We paint it all up with flowers, wild colors, our name, etc. Church members can either buy a $10 "insurance policy" NOT to have the toilet land in their front yard, OR they risk having it there for three days, before we pick it up and plop it in another yard. Yes, there are several that pay the insurance policy, but after 4 years this has evolved in such a way that some people WANT the toilet in their yard. They use the opportunity to tell their neighbors about our youth group and wind up collecting more in donations for us than what the policy would have cost them!! It's loads of fun.
