I know, but kids are kinda mean and selfish. Good thing most of them do grow into responsible adults hope you took some photos of your pumpkin

Well, at least you "didn't mean anything by it". Sorry to be a grump about it, but when you're the one cleaning up the mess and comforting the heartbroken kid who spent 1hr+ carving the damn thing, it seems, umm, kinda mean. And, you know, selfish.

Did you clean them up after you smashed them?

Halloween hijinks. Hopefully the kids didn't mean anything by it...hopefully it was just a wayward flying pumpkin. I used to love smashing pumpkins when I was a kid...it was the day after Halloween festivities. Fortunately, neither I nor any of my friends ever hit a house...got a car once by accident, but it was unscathed.

Just shy of 9pm, we heard loud smashing glass outside. My husband grabbed his maglite and ran out the door but it was already over with, it happened that quickly. Other neighbors had also run out to see what the commotion was. Apparently a pumpkin had been thrown through the window of the house across the street from us, and another pumpkin was thrown towards our house and smashed just shy of our neighbor's jeep. The owner of the house with the smashed in window - a woman and her young son - were standing outside, bewildered. She said nobody got hurt, nobody was in the room at the time. They were just shaken up pretty badly. There was a young couple who were walking past our place at the moment the incident happened - they are the ones, along with a male neighbor a couple doors down from us, who saw the kids. The male neighbor jumped in his truck and tried to go after the kids, who scattered in all directions on foot. The perpetrators, according to the young couple out for a walk, were two white kids, one black kid, probably around age 16. One was wearing a dark hoodie over a white hoodie. That's all we have to go on. There were two more pumpkins in the street, near the curb of the house that had its window smashed in. It's not known what their motive was or how much more they thought to get away with. The young boy who lives at the violated house did not see the perpetrators either, and his mom doesn't think her son was targeted, although it was the boy's bedroom window that was shattered, and he was just about to go into his room to go to bed. Poor kid. The police were called out and took statements from the walking couple, from my husband, and when the man in the truck returned, they talked to him, too. People are so mean. I hope those kids get caught quickly.
