My late father had a problem with someone stealing his roast beef sandwich from the refrigerator at work every Monday morning. So, being a biologist, he engaged in gastrointestinal warfare.
He mixed phenolphthalein (the active ingredient in ExLax) into the horseradish on the sandwich. A bit after lunch time, the culprit was obvious after spending a long time in the men's room.
No more problems after that. Knowing that Dad developed insecticides, the thief got off easy! :-)
"O"-level/"A"-level chemistry used to be so much more interesting, in all the ways you could poison yourself, blow yourself up, set yourself on fire or just dissolve/stain that god-awful tie.
I used to have an "A"-level chemistry textbook from the early 70's, which contained some, shall we say "intriguing" recipes that would probably get it labelled as a "terrorist's cookbook" these days. Especially the bits about TNT and Phosgene gas.
Many of the reagents mentioned in the book had long since been removed from the labs (sometimes by firemen wearing hazardous chemical gear !) or replaced by safer alternatives.
I no longer have that book, but I do remember that it burned with an odd-coloured flame when I stuck it on a bonfire !
