I'm working tonight and we usually get quite a few that come by the station.
We've got extra candy stashed so no chance of running out.

Just came home from my son's house, in town, nice neighborhood.
T&T runs from 4-7PM, I left about 6:30 and the count was over 250 kids.
Typical, even thought it was spitting snow and strong winds.

Last year we passed out over 320 bags of candy. This in a small town of 800 - 900 residents. Usually last from 5 till 9:30.
A gun in the hand is worth more than the entire police force on the phone.

30 to 50- bunch a bunch of cheap bastards on my block, not many kids waste time here. Mostly they come late after hitting the high percentages places.
My Grandkids will get whatever is left over.

We have had no kids in 8 years, but I bought a bag of candy bars just in case  I live at the end of a dead end road 1/2 up the hill from a county gravel road. Most of the local kids go to town where the pickins are easier.

none, to far out in the sticks and too long a walk from the road. Always keep candy in case any of the kids in the area decide it's worth the trouble

people across the street turn their home into a haunted house. Its usually a big attraction and the kids hit our house afterwards.
I got thur about 2 bags of the 250 piece candy but this year, the weather was bad and the high school had a football game so we just had maybe 25 kids.
I'm gonna eat chocolate until thanksgiving

In the twelve years I've lived here, I haven't had one. Probably because I don't put any decorations for it out. Not to mention, I'm known to have scary looking dogs, and my entire property is surrounded by a fence with a locked gate. Little hints like that let them know I'm not participating.

My sister's hood about 15 minutes away had everything from a parade & fireworks to the busing in of kids. She said she's already given out well over 200 bags and they're still coming.

I used to live in a neighborhood where they bused in kids.
It cost a small fortune to give out candy.
