You just got Caged.

Imgur user Timbo57 pulled off the Nicolas Cage prank to end all Nicolas Cage pranks when he planted nearly 3,200 pictures of the actor around his brother's home. No family photo, toilet seat or milk carton went un-Caged.

In Timbo57's comments on the post, he writes that his girlfriend helped him print 50 pages of the actor's face with varying expressions. It took two weeks to cut out all the photos, which he hid in nearly every spot of his brother's house. After running out of places to put hide cutouts, the pranking pair stuffed handfuls into socks and left the rest in the family's mailbox.

The prankster told Mashable that upon arriving home, his brother "knew we had ... done something to the house, but wasn't quite sure until he started noticing the photos in the entryway. He said he and his wife were in tears with laughter and only intensified as they discovered just how much [Nicolas Cage] had been placed around the house."

He added that though the prank was over a week ago, his brother messages him daily with new discoveries.

"He said the hype and fun is over now, he is just sick to death of finding more and more everywhere," he said. "I expect he will be finding them for months."

This handy work is certainly a national treasure to behold.
