About 7.45p this evening, a couple of kids -- 10 to 12 years old -- attempted to steal a pumpkin from our front steps. The neighbor across the street happened to be standing at his front window and saw it occurring. He tapped on the window, the kids dropped the pumpkin, ran down Jackson Street and then down Heberton toward Stanton. These idiots match the description of the kids who, several nights ago, threw a rock through a window of another neighbor. The level of "criminal mischief" in Highland Park is bordering on an epidemic. We reported it, for what it's worth.
