 I would have had the guy pay for the cleaning bill of the lens getting done professionally.

That's not a practical joke, that's vandalism.

Oh my, that isn't very cool at all.  I would have been telling the person to clean it.  Don't they know that oils and such aren't exactly good for cameras!?

Bad taste in thinking this would be funny at all.  I agree with Gary, this is vandalism here.
