[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 475851, member: 1991"] Our local store insists on ID to buy eggs in the weeks before Halloween. But some idiot parents just buy extra eggs because they know their kid will take them anyway and they don't want to be caught short. The zombie crawl would not work. Pity. It involves dressing up, and here the dressing up is pitiful and restricted to very young children. It would also give these boys a sense of safety in anonymity. I do like the idea of a pre-emptive strike and organising a street patrol of interested parents. I've found in years past that if I drive around with a very obvious digital camera (these days, iPhone) then the problem kids will scatter when they see me taking photos. The FaceBook thread is continuing (spasmodically) even from the kid who apologised yesterday (he posted a derisive "hahaha" after a previous post of "go away, u old ladie") so I don't think much of his apology. And yes, I am sending another copy to his parents. Or at least ringing his mother. I've posted a new thread, this one has wandered a bit! Thanks for the ideas though. I suspect the problem will still be an issue next year. Marg [/QUOTE]
