    Get a cheap bowl with a plastic lid and a cord. Gorilla Glue a cord to the bottom and lash it to a railing so the bowl can't be taken. Fill the bowl with candy. Cut a hole in the lid big enough for a hand but not a fist so the kids can reach in to grab one but not a handful. Gorilla Glue the lid onto the bowl. The next day, cut the bowl free and save for next year/throw away.

    Takes a little longer, but keeps the pests in line. Unless they carry a pocketknife.

    I love everyone yelling at the OP for being lazy, when he/she was kind enough to set candy out WHILE NOT HOME.

    Where I live, it is common practice. I set mine out last night, because I was going out for a long walk and didn't want my trick or treaters to miss out.

    Come home, half the candy gone, bowl still there.

    Or you just might catch one like a raccoon in a grab trap. :laugh:

    To me this smells like, "I left my doors unlocked and someone robbed me!".

    I understand wanting to have faith in mankind and I personally feel that the majority of people out there are good people, but I also understand that there are people out there who don't mind stealing my stuff.

    We went out and left candy in a shoe box. I left a note saying, take 2. My daughter laughed because no one pays attention and takes more. She was right of course. They did leave the box.

    I hope it wasn't a nice bowl.

    I'm really, really, really glad to see that you're not still bitter about this.

    Couldn't MFP have given us a "thanks" button...?

    That wouldn't have been more than a couple hundred thou.

    Really? Who does that?

    Edit: I was not at home, I don't get home from work till 8PM
    lol.

    Like hogs at a trough.

    ETA - one year we left a trap like this, several of us hid around a friend's house, where we left a bowl with candy. He was dressed as a werewolf mannequin, and the bowl of candy was left on his lap.

    If someone took more than one, he'd jump up at them, which would cue the rest of us to come in hard for the scare.

    It was fun.
