Subject: Halloween Pranks Earns Spanks

Oct.31,2009- A short while before leaving for a teen Halloween party/dance my mom talked about past Halloweens and she mentioned one particular Halloween happening I had never heard about before that happened to a relative of mine.

When my grandpa was growing up as a teen he went with three friends out pranking on Halloween night to have something to do growing up in a country community.

A long standing tradition was for teens to take real estate signs and place them on the courthouse lawn in town to make it look like the property was for sale. Next morning the business owners had to come and get them. Local police over the years could never "catch" the fun vandals in the act, but it seems each year someone always said that maybe whoever was taking the signs might still get caught.

One particular year my grandpa and his three friends thought they would give it a try to take the signs, after some other friends dared them to do it. After collecting about a dozen signs and placing them on the courthouse lawn, the four were about to put out the last of the signs they had collected when the police caught them in the act of it.

Being only l4yrs. old all four were taken home to their parents to be dealt with. The police told their folks if the boys returned the signs to their owners the next day and apologize to them there would be nothing more said.
The police did ask the boys if this was their "first time" stealing the signs or had they done it before in what seemed to be a tradition each year?

Each boy confessed it was their first time and they had no idea who had taken signs any of the previous years.

Of course each boy was embarrassed they got caught, but more embarrassed when each of them had to take a belt whipping by each of their dad on their bare butt for punishment, and each admitted to each other that it happened to them after they got home, when the four gathered the next morning to collect and returned the signs and talked about it.
News of the punishments given to the Halloween Prankster soon spread. None of them ever stole real estate signs again for a joke, but each Halloween they were reminded of the joke that backed fired on them.

But it did some good. Every Halloween after that saw nobody stealling real estate signs again for a joke in the community.

Anyone reading this ever do Halloween pranks that earned them a spanking or some other punishment, or someone else they knowed who did?
If so, how about sharing them?
