I’ve collected the last of the garden flowers this morning and placed them in a small vase on the window ledge.
Someone egged the kitchen windows and the back of the cottage last night. With five or six eggs all told
It was around ten pm. I heard the dogs barking in the kitchen thought it was the stray cat trying to be through the cat flap again
Most had hit the cottage render rather than the windows but it was a devil to get off the glass
I wonder why it was done, no trick or treaters around
And the car has been egged too, I’ve just noticed …and several of my solar lights in the back garden are missing
Some silly kids early Halloween prank do you think? I would have found it a bit unsettling - and highly annoying for disturbing the dogs!

I had a back kitchen window cracked recently.
DeleteWhich what looked like a small stone or air pellet
This felt a bit more sinister
Halloween...
ReplyDeleteRobbing lights and car egging too hummmm

naughty little buggers. A happy halloween prank. not nice but a pain to clean. Suzy
ReplyDeleteLike I said above , it doesn’t quite feel like that
DeleteJohn - I have a sinking feeling that this may have not been about Hallo-we'en. Could there be an underlying segment of homophoebic population in your little village?
DeleteWell, that's bloody irritating. Eggs are so hard to clean up.
ReplyDeleteDried egg is like concrete
DeleteThankfully Halloween pranks seem to have gone out of style around here (knock on wood.....). Its always unsettling to be the object of what can feel like a personal attack. And I remember scrubbing egg off car windows and paint, after it had had a while to dry and set up. Good dogs, however, to sound the alarm.

I am a little off the beaten track
DeleteHome & car egged, and solar lights stolen/missing? I will never understand such destructive and nasty, vile behavior. Please consider reporting to your local law enforcement folks. Take care, dear John.
ReplyDeleteI think the police , although sympathetic would do nothing at all
DeleteThey may not do anything, but reports have to be written...and if things keep happening, then they do have to act. Our gentle giant of a farm labourer neighbour is having similar problems
DeleteWaste of good eggs and you're right, they're diffiult to slean off.
ReplyDeleteHappy All Hallow's Eve!
Hugs!
No trick or treaters as yet, which is good as I have no sweets in
DeleteWas it just you or were others in the village hit also?
ReplyDeleteJust me
DeleteYou've never talked of Halloween pranks before. This egg throwing and missing solar lights is unusual. I'd report it.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are very pretty.
It used to be the thing here to have a “gate night” the night before Halloween, where eggs were thrown by roaming bands of older kids. However it seems to have died out. Jean/Winnipeg
ReplyDeleteI’ve never seen anything like it here before. No one else had had any trouble
DeleteWell THAT's annoying. I agree with the others -- I'd report it.
ReplyDeletePerhaps I should
DeleteThat's too bad, how annoying, esp stealing your lights. Tho I do recall Mischief Night being very scary and exciting for a goody-goody child like me. We did soaped windows, rang doorbells---no eggs!
ReplyDeleteHave you ever considered installing motion triggered yard lights? Remember your firewood was stolen from your shed too.
B******* my bet is f******* someone in the vicinity - get a cctv camera -They hate that x 🍑📽📸
ReplyDeleteI was going to suggest a couple of cheap camers from Amazon! You beat me to it!
DeleteI've been a victim of ongoing harassement - The police advised cctv and encouraged more additions as a deterent - It does help x
DeleteCan you put it on the village facebook? Some Mum will no doubt know that she's missing eggs but suddenly has some lights!
ReplyDeleteThe eggs will have been stolen from whichever shop the little swines could get to!
DeleteThe loud dog owners…
ReplyDeleteNot their style…too quiet
DeleteMy bet is some bored little tossers just having 'a laugh' NOT!!!. Taking a few lights as well, sounds about right. I would ask around but keep it fairly low key atm. This is a timely reminder for me to round the cats up now early and lock the cat flap, as it is actually All Hallows Night and l don't want them scared. Poxy Firework Night(s) and all next week. I fucking hate this time of year. Roll on next Spring!! Grrr!! Tess x
ReplyDeleteThat sucks. I’d definitely report it. But the flowers are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIn North America, Oct 31 is reserved for kids begging for candy. The tricksters who love egging and TPing things traditionally turn out to wreak their mayhem the night before, on Oct 30. Perhaps this timing has now migrated to England as well.
ReplyDeleteHas to be kids. Adults are worried about food prices. They wouldn't be wasting eggs. Do they have trail cams over there, or 'ring' doorbells. You could watch the activity from your computer.
ReplyDeleteWhat a f***ing bugger! Probably older kids thinking it's funny. When we were kids, the night before bonfire night was Mischief Night. We only resorted to knocking on doors and running away, never vandalism and theft. Trouble is, if you report it, would anything be done? I doubt it. xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a bummer….but as to reporting it…to what end? Nothing would happen and some poor sod would have to fill out a report
ReplyDeleteThat is what that poor sod gets paid a pay check for.
DeleteLittle shits!!! Eggs can do a real number on car paint, I've been told. I hope that's not the case with your Bell. I would bet they did this at random.
ReplyDeleteAnnowing but, if it's only the one night, then not major. Worse things happen (Soeul)
ReplyDeleteIndeed x
DeleteLet's hope it is a one-off connected with the Halloween madness. I saw a bunch of trick-or-treaters up at Bents Green when I caught the bus up there last night.
ReplyDeleteYes. But I must admit it feels somewhat personal
DeleteHopefully a one off but a bit disconcerting all the same. Let's hope that's the end of it.
ReplyDeleteThe eggs could have done a lot of costly damage to your car paintwork - I recall some girls in my class threw eggs at several teachers cars - All parents received a bill for the cars to be resprayed x
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't assume it is a Halloween prank, thought it might be. Report it. Police won't do anything, but if similar or worse incidents happen in the future this one will be on the record.
ReplyDeleteExactly. It doesn't feel like a prank
DeleteI have that feeling too ….it was too late ,and with the stealing of the lights ( and one planter from the garden wall) it feels too personal
DeleteThat would be disconcerting. I would report it, if I were you. Then it would at least be on record in case of any further issues. Xx
ReplyDeleteSee the above Post
DeleteEgging and theft of the lights - quite bizarre. And upsetting. Why on earth would someone want to do that? Who could possibly dislike you enough to do that?
ReplyDeleteYes, Nick , I’m a bit upset by it all
DeleteI'm sorry about the egging! It's miserable to clean off. I had an old car when I was in college that someone egged in broad daylight and the eggs baked on!
ReplyDeleteA planter has been stolen too
DeleteFor years you have shown the inside and outside of your home, access, lanes and road ,when visitors are arriving, what valuables you have , what you are spending money on etc. animals you have.
ReplyDeleteAnd your point it what....maybe it's you Anon. Nasty as you usually are maybe you have moved on from comments to action.
DeleteJo in Auckland
Why that has to be a feature of anyones enjoyment is beyond me. I don’t like the dogs being upset either ….I guess the police might be interested as it is probably a group of nincompoops roaming around spoiling everyone’s Halloween.
ReplyDeleteHave you watched Brighton? Good wishes
Difficult for the police to do anything but at least it will be logged and you will have a crime number. Sure word will spread around village police have been informed and hopefully there will then be no more incidents.
ReplyDeleteIrene
So very sorry. I've had that stuff (in my case some **** throwing tomato ketchup all over the front door) and it felt very personal. Only good thing was that it brought evenrything metal to a high shine.
