Mystery story

What is this story which I remember from school ever so many years ago? It was about a gang of boys who very systematically weaken a building and then tie a rope from something on the building to a vehicle parked nearby, then the unsuspecting driver gets the fright of his life when he drives away. I think it may have been a little-known story by a famous writer.
