you should all do what I did last year and on the pavement in front of the house draw with washable chalk the outline of a body like there's been a murder or something.

We didn't get a single visitor.

little kids probly wouldn't understand what it meant though.

Did you read my post, or just look at the pictures?

It must have been chavs that were trick or treating tbh. They're the only type of low-life scum not to realise that it should have been a pumpkin they was throwing. Which would have been in keeping of the witching hour, not a ******* orange

nobheads

Sorry to hear about your window btw.

Trick or treating isn't begging, it's basically extortionate. Since when have you heard them ask for any thing? They just turn up and demand sweets!

yep true, they dnt even say thanks around here. and I walked past some on the way home, demanding even more sweets than the person had already given them!! cheeky gits.

LOL, you'll be able to get them back soon on Bonfire night, when they start asking for a 'pound for the guy'. Stab the dummy, it'ts bound be one of them dressed as a Guy

yep, my parents wouldn't let me trick or treat.

Ahhhhhh. Explains it all.

If the orange has a slit in it that suggests to me they expected it to burst leaving gooey mess on your window, not to break it imho.

Halloween has just become an excuse to cause trouble :mad:

Anyone want's to cause trouble tonight round here and they'll be receiving the thick end of my bat

.

Not had any trouble as of yet.

Sorry I shouldn’t laugh!

I very much doubt they had the intention of smashing your window, just seems it was very unfortunate.

They throw something at a window, not expecting it to break?

Can I take your leg and hit it with a sledge hammer?

Sorry sir I just wanted to be annoying, I didn't actually think It would break.

No... no I can't... and neither should they.

The same thing happened to my mums house last Hallowe'en... luckily we spotted them and we knew who they were.

Did you get a look at their faces Yanto?

I'm one of the anti-Hallowe'en people myself, don't like the idea at all... I hate walking home thinking I'm going to get mugged or egged for no apparent reason.

I'm all for this opt in idea... but I don't think anyone would actually listen to it.

Then you'll have noticed that I differentiated between children and scumbags.

I wouldn't dream of brandishing a BB in front of a child because it's irresponsible to say the least, I have no problems in using it as an intimidatory implement when confronted by said scumbags on my property (if the bat doesn't cut the mustard). Like it would make the slightest scarring on any of their minds, if they're scum enough to cause problems with people on their own doorstep then I'm sure they're well aware of the other nasties in this life.

No....

Just because someone throws something at your window it’s automatically assumed it’s meant to break it? get a grip, an orange is hardly a stone or something that is designed to break a window.

An Orange with a slit in it, with a stone in the middle might be 'designed' to break windows though...

Well yes, but the OP mentioned an orange and nothing more, IMO I can’t see how it’s possible for an orange to smash a window? Is it double glazed?

randal · 31 Oct 2007 at 19:23

Frozen orange would probably do it, but alas I digress.
