Yes, you *can* be sued. Whether or not you win or lose is a completely different question. Bear in mind that although he may or may not be able to file Criminal charges, he certainly can file a civil suit, whereupon not only can he possibly make life even more miserable for you, but the burden of proof for him is lighter, thereby making it easier for him to win the case.
All in all, it is not worth doing something like that. Even if you personally are not above such a thing, you should at least not do something where its going to be painfully obvious who the culprit was.

Dear Angie,
I used to be a family law paralegal. I've seen the aftermath of divorce. It isn't easy and it hurts so many. I'm sorry you are having to deal with it. Do you have kids? IF so, do not do anything that will make dealing with him in the future even harder. You are only making trouble for yourself.
IF you do not have kids, you still should do nothing. It is over. It is time now for you to act like a classy lady, even if you don't feel like one right now. Walk away.
Don't look back and for sure DO NOT LET HIM KNOW THAT HE HAS HURT YOU. If he calls for any reason, do not make smart or sarcastic remarks. If he really means nothing, he would not get ANY response from you that shows any emotion - good or bad - whatsoever. You need to put him behind you and this will help.
If you continue to show strong emotion, happy, sad or mad, you give him a victory. Don't do that. He is NOTHING in your life now. Don't give him any power at all...which means, don't give him any reaction at all. I've seen this work time and time again.
Good luck putting a new life together that is happier and better, girl!! Stay on the high road.

I think the best and sweetest revenge would be to walk out that door with your head high and don't ever look back (minus the shrimp).
Getting on with your life, being happy and being the best person you've ever been... make these your goals instead. He's gone... mourn for awhile and ask yourself, 'what's next?'
"The highest courage is to dare to be yourself in the face of adversity. Choosing right over wrong, ethics over convenience, and truth over popularity…these are the choices that measure your life. Travel the path of integrity without looking back, for there is never a wrong time to do the right thing." ~ Successories

I have a friend in the same situation. He gets the house and her and her two kids have to go into low income housing. To make it worse she inherited the house from her dad before she met her husband so I say go for it. Put shrimp in the vents and toss a fish up in the attic on a hot day. It's mean but not as mean as sending you're family into low income housing while he's sitting pretty in the house.

This is just like the email going around about the wife putting fish and such in the curtain rods. In the email Her husband ends up selling the house cause they cant get the smell out. She buys the house back for a 1/4th of the price and laughs as he packs the curtain rods in the moving truck to take to his new house.

It would be a waste of his time to even try. The worst he could do is a small claim filing (for what costs though?). But then, your answer would be either 1. "He must have done it because he's apparently having a hard time letting me go and now he's harassing me. He's nuts"; or 2. "One of our guests must have been unhappy with the dinner I served and tried to hide it so I wouldn't be offended."
Smelling up the house doesn't cause any permanent damage. It would be impossible to call it "vandalism."
The mouse or rat idea (or cockroaches or termites!) is great because they're indigenous pests and it could never be proven.

Rather than do something so childish do like I did. My revenge was going on with my life and being successful without my X.
I have accomplished more since I divorced her than I did being married to her for 11 years. Doing well after a divorce is a much sweeter revenge especailly when the other party did everything in their power to destroy you.

Well I think this is a pretty ignorant thing to do, revenge isn't going to get you anywhere, even if it can't get you sued. I think you need to focus on the rest of your life without him and without doing childish things.If this is the way your mind has worked all through your marriage, I cant say that I blame him for divorcing you.Maybe if you get a hobby or something you can lose these thoughts and can maybe focus on getting the material things your loosing back and keeping you dignity and pride.

I just received an email about a woman losing her house in divorce and putting shrimp in the curtain rods. He couldn't figure out where the smell was coming from and she bought the house back from him for cheap.
Not sure if he could sue you over it, but what sweet revenge.

he will find it there. hide a raw egg somewhere in the living room or somewhere that people frequent. hide it in a good spot like in the airconditioner vent. lol so the smell spreads all over the house. put something nasty behind the fridge. all the heat and moisture will make whatever it is stink to high heaven. i dont think you will be sued for it. that would be a waste of time and i dont think many lawyers would take a case as silly as that.
