I'm in suburbia. People in my neighborhood seem to just be very cautious.

As of 6:30 last night, we had just three visits to the house. Judging by the amount of candy still here when I returned there could not have been a heck of a lot more children after that.

Most years I do not even like to drive because of the amount of children on the road. The closest place that I play golf is about 3 or 4 miles away down neighborhood back streets. Going there and back last night the streets seemed almost deserted, with only small pockets of kids here and there.

It's really a spooky Halloween when there aren't children around.

Good turnout in our neighborhood as well. I didn't count, but I'd say we had 100+ kids stop by our house.

We always make sure we buy extra Snickers in the first place, so no need to steal from the kids' hoard.

I need to work on my 3 1/2 year old's manners. On more than one occasion, she came out with, "I want more." LOL. No use explaining that its not proper Halloween etiquette to demand more candy than is handed out.
