Growing up in Palos Verdez, CA, it worked for Mrs. McAdoo up the street. She always handed out full-size candy and no kids ever TP’ed or egged her house. I figured it was the candy (maybe her enormous sons, who I believe grew up to be professional basketball players, played a part in deterring us too). But, after all these years, I still have fond memories of Mrs. M. For under 100 bucks I purchased confidence that our home just might be skipped when kids are out looking to deliver a bag of flaming poop and maybe I’ll even win a special place in their hearts for many years to come.
That’s money well spent.
