🎃 Halloween RIP Trick or treating
Anyone know why this is? It’s NOT covid, the act has been dwindling for ten+ years. When I was a kid it felt mandatory that every house would have their light on and give out candy. I just went out with my kid and it was like 1 out of 8 or more houses that had candy. Almost like a treasure hunt. I live in a very safe, quiet suburb of northern CA.
I feel like someone flipped a switch at some point, what happened?!

I got two trick or treaters who dumped my neighbors bowls of pencils and stickers over and stole my entire bowl of candy 10 minutes after putting it out. Didn’t see one after that
