Southern Discomfort
In my teen years, I got wind that a couple friends of mine planned to roll/egg my pride and joy...my '67 Cougar.
I laid in the back seat all evening. Fortunately, we had a ton of trees in the yard, so I could hear any approaching footsteps well in advance.
Sure enough, about 2AM, I heard them coming. I had taken the bulbs out of all interior lights, and had left the passenger side door ajar.
When I jumped out of the backseat and started letting Mr. 12 guage do the talking (way over their heads I might add), you have never heard retreating footsteps with quite as much urgency.
My car was fine though.

On year a house a few doors down from us, the husband dressed as a scarecrow (looked like he was a real one too...) and sat in a lawn chair with a big bowl of little grab bags and a sign that read "One each" or something of the like...and if someone approached and took only one he didn't move but when someone went to take more than one he'd grab their wrist and scare the shit outta them I saw it happen from the end of the driveway after I'd already took my one bag (yeah it was awhile ago...it was at my old house infact...)

One of the 'courtesies' we do here is to run all candy the trick-or-treaters get through our X-ray machine. Haven't found anything yet, but I've heard tales of people putting straightpins in apples. Urban myth, or not, I'd rather be safe than sorry.
