I dont know if its just here up north that this goes on or all over the place, those "lovely local youths" take it upon themselves every year to go around causing trouble the night before Halloween. It started many years ago with simple eggs being thrown, over the years the eggs have become bricks!
Last year we had the back window of the car broken as did quite a few people in our street, 1 of the bay windows smashed, and my partner threatened with a knife when he confronted them. an elderly lady who lives alone also had her car windows smashed, along with her house windows at a cost to her to get fixed.
This year we've been renovating our house so not actually staying there at the moment and im just dreading not being there to look out for anything, not that it would help, last year we had the lights on and i was sat on the couch when half a brick came through into the living room.
The police are very much aware of what goes on but because its all over the city there obviously over stretched as it is. I feel absolute hatred for the children who cause this damage, i just dont understand how people can let their children out tonight of all nights knowing what they are most likely getting up to.
