[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's surprising to me how naive some adults and especially older people are when it comes to leaving a large bowl of free candy on their porch.  Emptying the bowl is terrible and something all parents hope they raised their kids not to do when tempted.  But the fact is, groups of kids (mostly older kids), trick or treating unsupervised by an adult will sometimes behave badly - especially when their is peer pressure from one of the kids to do it.  We've seen this play out on our porch camera videos several years.  We only leave the bucket out briefly so we can walk our kids around - and 50% of the time its empty when we get back... and the video shows the cuplrits.  Sometimes kids we know from down the street even - whose parents we speak with at BBQs and forth of July parties...

It's unfortunate, but a reality, not worth troubling the police over. [/quote]

+1 To all of this.

The number of people complaining about this on next door is hilarious. It happens every year. Did they really expect everyone to take just one? Even when I sat outside holding the bowl telling kids they can take 2 some little kids crabbed a handful. Really not a big deal.

if you want to police the candy bowl stop being lazy and stick around to hand it out. Or turn the lights off and don't hand out candy .[/quote]
