They come back 2 or 3 days later, retrieve the flamingos, and ask THAT homeowner if there's someone they want to prank for a fee, and on it goes. It's pretty funny!
In our area that was called getting flocked. Your contribution gets someone flocked for 3-5 days. (The more you pay, the longer the pink flamingo flock stays on their yard.) If you are the one flocked, and don't want the flock there, you can pay to have them removed sooner. I haven't seen it in a while - I guess the price of pink poultry has become secondary to the price of gas. Not a prank, but on my summer travels I noticed a lot of pig kissing campaigns as fund raisers. All the group needs to do is borrow a pig and a tutu and someone will donate the lipstick for the pig. Hysterical!
