assuming you're thinking what I'm thinking, are you sure you wouldn't be violating the first two rules by discussing this prop?
No, i have another... evil idea for my soap.
The problem is this, my brother lives in my house. He has a GF that is his age, and she has a 19 year old daughter that is trying like hell to move in too. (Even though the mother does not live there.)
She has a blast it seems taking the soap out of my shower and putting it into the one she uses... so I have a plan!
I want to take two or three of the bars of soap she likes and "recast" them. I want to melt them, put an "item" in the middle, then re-harden them so that over time the "item" is unveiled!!
I also thought it would be fun to make some FIGHT CLUB soap.
(Oh crap! I DID violate the secound rule!!)
Man, I find that idea so great and evil that I won´t even bother to point out that google still is your best friend for the simpler projects :lol

for example, and I don´t really want to know what a "crock pot" is.
I vote for "plastic spider" !!! Although "fake finger segment" might be cute as well and good for a scream.
Nothing like scaring non-relatives who violate one´s personal bubble :lol

I GOOGLED IT
Try these
I would also suggest making a mold of a real bar of soap with the logo or name in it
to further the illusion

I dont really need a logo mold as I plan to use a bar that she has been useing and will not know it was altered. The idea is she never knows how it happend and thus I can use a brand of soap she will not touch. And you want it to be believable.
My plan for "gifts" are currently focused on:
cockroach Maybe not whole but in parts....
various ants
bird feathers
horse hair :lol
tampon part with slight red staining..... :angry
Take a bone from a buffalo wing let it dry. Then get a plastic press on fingernail and superglue the nail to the bone so it looks like a finger decomposed in the soap. Or roam the neighborhood for a little doggie poo poo. Let her wash up with that. Im here to help.

Spoken like true aircrew... I slowly replaced one of my crew's Suave shampoo with yogurt over the course of a week. Started by dumping out a 1/5 of the bottle and replacing it with yogurt on day one and so on and so on. By the end of the week we all got rewarded with an emphatic "WTF!?!?! Dammit Joe!!!" from the showers as the curdled dairy did it's job.
Good luck and thanks for the thread ideas everyone.

She steals my cream rinse too. But I have been "reloading it" shall we say for a few days now. She does not seem to have noticed as she would be PISSED if she knew.
Funny thing, her hair is starting to look more shiny now for some reason...?!!?

If you really want to stick it to her, mix some cayenne pepper into the soap. That will teach her!
Or go to a pharmacy and get gentian violet. Be real careful with it. Splatter some in a bowl and let it dry. take the dried out flakes and sprinkle them on the soap and bath sponge. As soon as the water hits it, it will go all purple and dye her skin for a day or so. It is real hard to get rid of so make sure she does it in a shower you don't use.

I say just find a way to make a replica bar of soap (wax could work since it may have the same feel when wet) that won't lather. Let her wash and wash and wash and wonder why it isn't working. That way there is no pain involved, or possible resentment and retribution.

Pain is what I am after. I already feel the resentment and then need for retribution.

Am I thing only one to think this is kind of ridiculous? Dude, this is your home. Your rules. You don't need to sink to this level to make your point. It just seems there are a million ways this can bite you in the ass. Man up and regain control of your home with out the need to mess with a kid. Think about the trouble you want to go through to make someone stop stealing your soap, can't you just buy another bar of soap for the other shower? Childish and stupid.
Agreed. Buy another bar of soap and find ways to entertain yourself that don't involve hurting other people.

If you go this route, go to a windshield repair place and scoop a handful of broken glass out of the dumpster.
Then roll her window down and throw the glass on the seat of her car. See how long it takes for her to figure out that her window wasn't really broken.
