Halloween is a great time in the lives of both children and adults. However, even the best Halloween can be ruined by trees filled with toilet paper and egg residues (残渣) that won’t wash off. How can you keep your home safe on Halloween? There are some measures you can take.
Make it known that you’re at home. Pranksters are less likely to play a trick if they know someone is at home. You may want to close the glass on your screen door and open your front door so that you can see everyone moving around outside. This also allows pranksters to see that you’re at home.
Turn on the lights inside your home and outside. Having all the lights on lets pranksters know that you’re not only at home, but you’re awake. If a prankster knows you’re awake, he’ll be more likely to skip your house and head for another one. Even if you need to get in bed early, keep all the lights on except in your bedroom. Pranksters aren’t going to know which room is your bedroom.
Ask the police to patrol (巡逻) the area. It’s a policeman’s job to keep citizens safe, especially on Halloween. In some cities the crime rate can increase fast on 31 October. A polite call to your local police station should get you the service you need. Above all, no pranksters are going to throw eggs at your house when the policemen are patrolling the area.
Set up a neighbourhood watch. One of the best ways to keep your home safe on Halloween is to get the neighbours involved. No one wants his trees covered with toilet paper. Ask your neighbours to keep their eyes open and to follow the same steps you’ve taken to help keep your home safe. If the entire neighbourhood is lit up, pranksters are less likely to stop by.
