We had Apple II computers at our school in the 80’s. We could buy a floppy disk (360K) for $5. You could use a paper punch to notch the other side to make it double-sided to get 720K. We had to leave them at school with our homework and stuff on them.

One kid named Gerald Butler keep peeking at mine to see what I was up to. He kept stealing my hacks for the text-based adventure games, and then he’d brag about he made them.

Finally, I got sick of the little jerk, so I modified my main menu program to look like it was asking for a password. If you entered the right one, it let you in completely. But if you entered anything else, it would pretend to let you in. When you then tried to list the boot up program, it would use “peek” and “poke” instructions to patch the OS to nuke the rest of the program from memory after printing, “Sorry, BUTLER!!!”

Apparently, he tried to access my disk in front of a bunch of his friends. I heard later he was so ticked off and so embarrassed, he never touched my disk again!
