Once, we gathered about 50 of those stuffed pumpkin trash bags from random houses. There was this sharp turn near one of our neighborhoods that was known for accidents. Well, we decided it was smart to quickly make a pumpkin wall across the two-lane street about 10’ high. This was around 2am.
We then ran into a field to watch the carnage. After about 5 minutes, we see headlights, hear a screech and a loud bang. A cop car went skidding off the road. Needless to say, the officer wasn’t happy as he was chasing us through a cow filled field
We did get away but an hour later, a few cops showed up at one our friends house, he recognized one of us. Our parents were irate but we laugh about it to this day. We didn’t get into much trouble, more like a slap on the wrist. This was in 1986, I couldn’t imagine what would our punishment be today.
This was just one example of what we did, along with hundreds of mailboxes
