I moved to a new neighborhood (94521), walking distance to Clayton Valley High School, and I wonder if I need to be on guard the eve before Halloween - on 'Gate Night' or as some say,'Mischief Night'? We have a long fence along a corner lot and someone recently added their initials to the fence (we removed it easily), but it just gets me wondering if I have to be on guard all night. My old nabe was a bit 'swankier' and we lived up on a steep hill with only two other houses, so I just wonder...guess I'll just ask my new neighbors. What's been your experience on the eve before Hallowen?

The initials that were written on your fence were most likely a way left by a gang to mark a house ("tag") to target on gate night. I used to live in your neighborhood and Gate Night was on of the reasons I moved away. My house was never damaged very badly but I just couldn't take another year of stress worrying if my house would be burned down or badly vandalized.

Had our own pumpkin smashed on our house wall. Surprisingly we found out a few days later when the purpetrator confessed arrogantly. We were in elementary school...he was a bully in either Jr. High or High School. Wonder what he's up to now? Probably in prison or recently released. Actions performed at a young age usually carry on into adulthood. Where were his parents in all this? He was probably from a dysfunctional family...what a loser.
