I stole my neighbor's kid's tricks or treats...

I’m 17 and I live in a fairly nice house in a culdesac. Our house is on the corner and there’s a park to our right. It’s the perfect house to be in on Halloween as well as the never-ending Christmas displays that can be strung along our house. <br><br>I’ve never actually answered the door. It’s too scary. I lock myself in my room every year (but this year I will be at a party). My mom always answers the door and she has a bowl of candy next to her to hand out. <br><br>Well my neighbors kids are older 20, 16, 19 and I’m 17 so I don’t think they go trick or treating anymore except on some rare occasion. <br><br>So the first time I was 12. Their mom had dropped them off at 4 and the dad wasn’t home yet. I was bored and I never did anything wrong. I looked over my shoulder and I could see the bowl of candy. I ran over and stole some snickers and Reese’s and I ran back over to the windowsill. <br><br>The next year I stole some more. Then last year the mom and dad were both gone and the kids were at school. I got really ballsy and I stole 2 handfuls of candy. I dumped the candy into my bucket and I ran back to my room. The first year I got away with it but the second and third year the mom started to ask my mom if she could’ve given our family some (but it was really me). <br><br>She never got mad at my mom. I feel bad for eating the kid’s candy now as an adult. But they probably don’t care now since they’re all grown up and moved out. <br><br>Edit: I forgot to add the kid’s parents were never home. They always left their kids home alone and it would be hours until they got home. If I remember correctly they didn’t get home until 6 or 8.
