[QUOTE="Lothlorien, post: 206754, member: 1024"] Mischief night is almost non-existent around here, these days. There is a serious curfew the night before and other than a few smashed pumpkins in our old neighborhood, nothing really happens. Thank goodness. I don't even hear the term used around here anymore. It got so out of control with kids really destroying property and stuff that there was no other choice but to make a strict curfew. I'm happy. However, parents or older sibs doing the getaway driving is just sickening. We have a lot of main roads that go through our town and the houses have a lot of property, so the kids that live on main roads are typically driven to neighborhoods. I don't mind it so much, especially since there aren't that many kids on my street. What ticks me off are the parents that drive their kids down our block at 9:00 and the kids ring the door bell even though the porch light is off. The general rule (around here, anyway) is no more trick or treating after 8:00. Some parents just don't think.....especially when it's a school night...I have young kids that I want in bed before 9 and when my doorbell rings for trick or treaters, they want to get up and see what's going on.
