This is really disturbing, and the main reason I don't like putting stuff out early. In fact, reading this thread has now made me re-think my plan to put out the fence/columns until a couple days before. My wife and even neighbors ask why I have so much stuff but don't put it out to enjoy it a couple weeks before. I think I'd likely give up if I had a bunch of stuff broken or vandalized. I know it can be rebuilt but that doesn't help with the damage already done, and even if the police were to catch them, the penalty isn't going to be much. I dunno...it's a gamble regardless of where you live or whether or not you've had it happen before. It's just who happens to be walking by at the time and figures they want to mess with someone else's stuff. I'm envious of those who can put there things out unmolested for a few weeks before, but I choose to play it safe and as stated, in spite of the work involved for one day/night, I at least know my stuff won't be trashed.
Really sorry for this and hope you forge ahead to enjoy this year.

My sympathies go out to ya Hidehoman. We have a high traffic area of kids going to school and pass my house everyday. I have also learned to only put certain things out before Halloween because I really don't want to keep putting out the expense of repairing damages that are done by kids - especially the homemade props. Fortunately, I take the day before and day of Halloween to put the rest of my yardhaunt together because I don't trust the kids that go by. It hasn't happened in a couple of years but that's because I didn't give them a chance. "Mischief Night" is still practiced in my town.

What a bunch of jerks.
I'd want to hunt them down and skin them alive and then use them in a future haunt. :O
Haha but in all honesty, I'd be so upset if that happened to me.
All the hard work demolished to nothing in a matter of maybe five minutes?
That's pretty crappy. :/
Luckilly I have never experienced that, but I always take it into consideration just in case.
Of course we're luckier than alot of you guys.
Our haunt is done at a summer campground for disabled kids.
There are security officers there all year long, even when no one is there.
There are also at least two or three security guards near each exhibit every night that our haunt is open.
We're very fortunate to have that.
Sorry about your stuff though, Hidehoman.
