WHAT DO YOU DO when this kid knocks on your door for Trick o Treat???

Back in 94 I was working at a facility that had just relocated from Ohio to outside of Pittsburgh. There were like 250 people at the facility and everyone had their own mail slot.
Many of the people were commuting from Ohio for the week and were rabid (and obnoxious) Buckeye fans. Ohio to them was God's country and they were sure to let you know that PA sucked by comparison. The Monday after PSU demolished the bucks I secretly placed baggies of crushed buckeye nuts in each of their mailboxes. I really enjoyed seeing the OSU fans depression over the rout and witnessing their displeasure that someone had rubbed their arrogant faces in it. It is funny how a few bad nuts can soil ones impression of a fanbase. Welcome to PA boys, don't let the door hit you on your way back to Ohio.

Sent him over to the neighbor's house whose kid was dressed up as the Ohio mascot? Your neighborhood must get a little rowdy on Halloween.
On trick or treat night, I take my wife out to dinner and we don't get home until after the trick or treat time is over.
Why? There are two reasons.
First, I don't believe in children going around begging for candy from the neighbors. If you believe in this made up holiday, then have a party in your neighborhood for the children.
Second, we have seen vans loaded with children coming in from other neighborhoods. Reason enough to hide away.

LOL ya old fart...
We don't have that problem on the mountain, the only night trick-treaters we get are the black bear during Oct/Nov rummaging for treats around the house and back raised deck. Sometimes I have to get nasty with them and ask the bears in a pleasant way to please go.
Years ago, an acquaintance was sound asleep on the couch on Trick or Treat Night. He lived out in the country, and they never got any Trick or Treat kids. There was a knock at the door, he partially woke up and stumbled to the door and there was a person dressed in a snowmobile suit and helmet with the dark face mask who said a muffled "Trick or Treat." Still half asleep and somewhat disoriented he said "wait a minute I will have to go to the kitchen and get you something." He came back with a candy bar and standing in his living room was a rather shapely buxom woman still wearing the helmet, but not the snowmobile suit, or anything else.
She said "you want your Treat now." He said "wait...wait you can't be doing this, my wife is home."
She said "are you sure you don't want this? He said "no, no you have to leave before she comes in here."
She started to come towards him saying "ahh come on it"s Halloween."
He backed up stumbled over the stool and fell to the floor. She started to laugh, took off the helmet and it was his wife.

Luckily he didn't say; Sure, but we have to be quiet. My wife is upstairs.

Call Children's Services and report a case of child abuse.
No, wish that it was though. That happened about 45 or 46 years ago. I worked with wife. The next day as everyone congregated around the coffee machine, the conversation turned to how many kids did you get last night and how many bags of candy did you go through.
She said that they only had one and then she proceeded to tell the story. Then as more and more people came in she had to retell the story again and again. I must have heard it four or five times that morning. I have not recalled it for decades, but when I saw this thread it all came back in flash. I can't remember what I had for breakfast yesterday, but I can still see and hear her telling that story in my mind. I guess it is that sometimers disease, sometimes I remember and sometimes I forget. Now days mostly I forget what my wife asked me to do 10 minutes ago. Sometimes that is on purpose, but I always deny that.
