Four days before Halloween.
I was getting ready to go to the store and (as always every year) for the last 30yrs. and purchase from $20 to $30 worth of candy, cakes, apples, oranges and ETC.
Then I started thinking 30yrs. at an average of $25 a year for 30yrs. "WOW" thats $750.00 then my mind started rambling I thought maby I should go out and do a litle trick and treating.
Then another thought flashed through my mind. I wondered if a couple of the old gang would be intrested in doing a little trick or treating. So I got in touch with two of the gang and they agreed with the plan I had.
( I will not reveal their names at this time. )
The Three of us met at a secret place to go over the plans.
We decided to buy Three friendly costumes. We didn't want to scare any of the children.
So we bought a Mickey Mouse, A Scooby Doo and a Sponge Bob costume.
There is a Village at the edge of town where all the so called rich people lived but the villagers were all very generous in their giving to the kids and in all these years there had never been a report of any foreign objects in their goodies.
Children came from everywhere The Police finally set up a two hour limit for trick-or-treaters going in the village the time was set for 6:00 Pm. until 8:00Pm. We went into the Village around 6:00 Pm. and entertained them and became friends with all of them.
We left the village around 7:00 Pm. ahead of all the children. After leaving the village the children would go to the local stores that were still open. Then to the homes around where they lived.
Dressed in their favorite cartoon costumes we had no trouble aproaching them.
We would tell them that we needed to check their bags to see if there were any bad stuff in them. We worked as fast as we could we would point out to them items we thought would not be safe for them to eat.
Oh we were very generous we only took a little over half of what was in each bag. We told them we were taking it to the Police station for them to examine. Soon We each had a 30gal. trashbag full of goodies. We headed for the car we had parked on a dark side street once we turned the corner we were realy elated for the succesful heist we had done. Although the street was kinda dark we saw three Kids just passing our car carrying trick-or-treat bags. I said hey we might as well finish this job in style lets heist those three bags.
We started waving at the three they waved back at us.
As soon as we got close enough we told them we needed to check their bags for foreign objects.
The three of them said go ahead and put their bags down on the street. The kids reached in their bags and pulled out three awsum looking pistols,and said ok we are wise to you three jokers take those three garbagebags and put them in your car and if you try anything we will blow your heads off. We just looked at each other and put the bags in the car. One of the boys got the keys out of the door when I opened it. They told us to turn around and get down on our knees and put our hands behind our heads. They said if we moved for fifteen minutes we would be sorry.
We were getting kind of nervous and I told them to be careful with those guns they might go off. They got in the car and drove away.
I looked at the other two and said, this is really embarrassing being robbed by three 10 or 11 yr.old kids.
So now we have no car and no goodies.
In a few minutes we were suprised to see out car coming down the street it stopped about 10 ft from us.
The three boys got out of the car with their guns in their hands. One said get in your car and don't try anything. The three of us shamefully crawled into our car. The boys threw the keys back into the car and the three of them threw their guns into the car as well. They yelled "here you might as well have the guns too." The boys started running and were soon outta veiw after turning the corner, we looked at each other and grabbed the guns. To our surprise not only had we been robbed by three little boys but robbed with three plastic guns.
Now a notice to the other members of our gang "If anyone breathes a word of this to anyone you will be sorry but I know that all of you are faithful and will just let this fade into the night."
I promise from now on ever trick-or-treat night on my well lighted porch there will be a big basket full of all sorts of goodies with a big sign saying the treats on me. "Have A Happy Halloween" everyone.
Signed,
An Embarrassed Ed.
oh yea (before I forget) the names of the other two are -X-X-Z-Y-P-Q- and -Q-P-Y-Z-X-X-. (secret code names)

Lol... Crime is supposed to pay bigtime... what happened to this illfated heist??
It SOUNDS like a good plan, it READS like a good plan... so what happened????
I personally think we need some more practice. How about this Thanksgiving... I hear there's still folks who leave their punkin' pies on the window sill to cool. Sounds simple enough
A cute story, Ed. Good luck in the contest
