re: How to deal with kids from other neighborhoods coming into yours and causing trouble?

I usually have my oldest son out there flagging the speeders down and kindly asking them to keep it at a reasonable pace. I would do it myself but I’m busy at the door handing out candy
Good lord man
Just give the "peasants" from other neighborhoods one piece each and be done with it.
Oh and pour yourself a stiff one while you sit on the porch.

In fact I usually try to keep my costumes historically themed last year I did Frederick Douglas. This year I’m doing king tut

Oh no! You should give them a questionnaire and make them recite the pledge first!

Build a wall, form a few militias, and send them back.

This isn't limited to "out of neighborhood kids".

I give them the leftover candy from last year. LOL
That has been in my attic for a year.

From living in NOLA, harder question because some of the really little kids from 'poorer 'hoods' didn't have costumes...and they circled each block three or four times. The older kids with them didn't ask for candy, but stood in the background.
We finally decided that the little ones got a pass and a piece of candy each time, and the bigger ones, after three or four passes would be given candy and told to have a nice time and we'd see them next year.

give those kids a toothbrush.... will think twice about returning to your house. But tbh, you sound like the kind of guy who does that anyway

I really don’t understand it. We’ve all seen it before, a hoard of beat up cars parking at the entrance of the neighborhood and getting out and causing trouble trick or treating. The question I always have is if their neighborhoodsare so safe, why do they come to mine and do their bidding...
Anyway over the years I have come up with several ways to solve this problem. Usually when I suspect them of not being from the neighborhood I just out right ask them. If they aren’t from around there I just turn them away. It has worked pretty well. Anybody else have their ways of dealing with this problem?
Don't say "this problem". Just go ahead and ask, "Anybody else have their ways of dealing with them?"

Causing trouble...trick or treating
When life is so cushy and comfortable that you have to invent shite to be upset about and rally against.
You get out there and show that underprivileged kid in the batman costume who's boss!

I just came back to reiterate that OP is an a-hole. We regularly have the little dirty trouble maker kids over to our house for swim parties and such, I make sure my kids invite them. In many cases it's obvious that the time spent at our home is the first time they've witnessed any semblence of a good home life, and over the years I most certainly have admonished more than one "good kid" about their behavior while at my house, while these kids are usually well behaved.

These kids probably live in shitty neighborhoods and their parents want to give them a better experience.
I think a lot off the "annoyance" is because a lot of these "kids" are teenagers, well past the age were other children seek candy on Halloween, not little tykes dropped off by loving parents longing for a good experience.

Those who assume what race the kids are the original scrooge-of-Halloween poster are, you DO realize THAT is what is actually racist, right?

Exactly. Never implied a race the real racist here made assumptions and ran with it
