I have 3 of them by my flowerbed and I left this afternoon. When I returned, I found each of them stuffed with grapes. I recently bought a house, and I live alone. I'm sure this was a prank. But when I pulled out the grapes, the flytraps did not close and they seem lopsided.

Are they dying?

Its probably kids wanting to watch them close up on something. You may have inadvertently done some damage removing the grapes if you broke any of the trigger hairs within the trap itself (not the outer jaws).
If the tips die don't worry about it new ones will grow so long as the plant as a whole isn't devastated. Don't use fertilizer.

As long as they don't turn black, they are fine. If the "flower" heads turn black, they have died. I had one quite a few years ago and this happened when I tried feeding it too large of a piece of raw burger.
