Pumpkins keep disappearing??? (Cary: house, neighborhood, rain)

[3muskateers]

Is anyone else having their pumpkins disappearing from their front stoop?

Very annoying and wondering if it is a Cary problem or just my neighborhood.

Nope. Never happens before or after Halloween

Every November 1st I wake up hoping the neighborhood teens have done me the favor of smashing our pumpkins in the road, but they never do, leaving me to discard them. What is wrong with kids these days??

no kidding. where's the pumpkin clean-up crew AKA teenagers?

also, I've noticed today's kids cannot take out a mailbox like the kids from the early 90's. wimps!

I think I saw yours. Was it round and orange? Looked to have a face on one side?

Spray them down with something that remains sticky/tacky so that when the kids pick them up they get their hands all nasty

I guess Linus and Snoopy are no longer watching for the Great Pumpkin, eh?

Sounds like somebody might be stealing them for resale....maybe not kids

One year back in IL, hubby brought home a (free) pickup load of pumpkins. The front of my house was really cute that Halloween with about 25 pumpkins. I was going to take a picture, but waited a day too long. They ALL disappeared. I think it's a teenager problem........
