The police could very well catch you if you dispense vada's and stuff like that. Either you dispense packed stuff or donot mess with the established practices. The locals donot like it and your good deeds may come to haunt you later.

Sheez. Thanks for reading out the riot act to me. I suppose you missed my sarcasm and humor.
If you really are serious, you may want to know I don't live in a nutcase neighborhood shielding ourselves from the "locals" like a lot of CDs and complain about everything in their lives. The so called locals that you mention are my neighbors whom I have known for several years along with their kids and rest of the family. I don't live in a ghettoish mindset isolating myself from the "locals".
BTW, just because we tried vadas on the kids doesn't mean the kids actually went home with a collection. Their parents, however, tried and enjoyed them.
I live where common sense prevails and not with the attitude of "Locals R Us".

what do you think??
Ok, this is turning serious. Actually in my Vada/Candy turf battle, not a single kid took the vada. It was all in good spirits with the kids' parents enjoying the "trick". Anyway, what parents do for their kids in their home to sort the candies/stuff is their problem depending on what state of paranoia they are in at that moment. Me, I like to exercise common sense and have fun. Which means I eat most of the candies that come home from my son's loot and deprive the pleasure for my son

When we were kids, we didnt let our parents near our loot (we were baaad kids) but we knew that apples or other things were a no no (remember the old 'razers in apples' urban legend??
