Molasses, pancake syrup, honey ect....that stuff will stick to the pickup screen in the tank and will stop the fuel flow.

SUGAR WILL NOT DO IT! Contrary to popular belief, it does not carmelize in the engine.

Bleach probably will not ruin the engine as such, but if left sitting in the tank overnight will damage the tank with rust. Dirt will clog the filter. Drain cleaner does not ruin the engin either. Any of these result in a charge of vandalism whether it works or not.

anything that's liquid and is not meant to be mixed with gas. Sugar, sand and all the other usuals are to heavy and just sit at the bottom of the tank.

Get it to a shop and have them flush the tank and fuel lines. Have them save some of the contents. Then call the police and file a report. This is criminal activity.

I bet this is a project of revenge. Sugar is insolubable in gasoline, so it won't work. Bleach is dangerous to you as well, and all of this is illegal. I would stick to a nasty note on the windshield wiper. I've had people throw eggs at my car and this was uncalled for. I didn't have to get even either.

Water, sand, sugar, nearly anything that will clog the fuel lines! But, if you really want to do some damage, put a length of gas soaked rope in the filler, and then light a match to it - and run like H**l! Don't try it around my car, though - my car is protected by Samuel Colt!

For all of you that have answered "Sugar", I suggest a read of http://www.snopes.com/autos/grace/sugar.asp where you will learn it doesn't harm a thing, and is urban legend.
Now, since I don't believe for a minute you have a 'project', I'm not going to answer any further except to tell you to forget it.
