    Then eat the rest of the candy and be done with it.

    I’d shut the door and turn out the lights. Demand candy and deliver a threat in-person. It’s the least a kid can do for free treats. The droneer could be a greedy adult, after all.

    Is the drone armed? That’s the trick.

    That’s almost as bad as 17+ year olds trick or treating, without even bothering to put on a costume. As least I could pretend that the drone was being piloted by a bed-ridden eight year old.

    I’da slammed my door on it. If it broke, who cares. It crossed the threshhold.

    I would laugh my behind off if that happened to me. And yes, I would give it some candy for whoever is operating it. Very innovative.

    It’s a shame the city of Dallas banned flying drones in residental areas. I’m sure the kids in my apartment complex would love to see one of my drones “waiting in line” behind them.

    good thing you contributed… otherwise the drone would go into ‘trick’ mode!

    They probably figure that it isn’t worth the walk, as Ralph probably ate all the candy anyway….

    Might as well eat it all yourself.

    IF it has a camera on it – and the majority do – there is gonna be a real disturbance in the force. js

    I’d consider giving it something more appropriate for a drone.

    Not for nothing, but the heavier that “pumpkin” gets as it’s filled, the more likely that the drone would tip and the candy would spill.

    That’s imaginative, how did it ring the door bell?

    An expensive way to get free candy. On the bright side the drone can’t take a bowl left out with a ‘take one’ sign.. has that ever worked?

    Next time the drones will be fitted with a hologram costume.

    I stopped doing Trick or Treat more than 20 years ago. That year, my terrier Mykei and I were alone in the house. It was about 8:30, and most of the little kids had already come and gone. I used to have them come into the sunroom and choose their treats. A pet gate separated the sunroom from the living room. A teenager showed up alone — no costume or mask. He was looking into the house with great curiosity and didn’t appear to want to leave. I was getting nervous. Finally, a couple of costumed kids came to the door, and he finally left. That was my last year handing out candy.

    If that were to happen to me, I would shut the door very firmly on the thing. You either obey the rules or pay the consequences.

    Unless they showed up, in person and in costume at my door, try wouldn’t get a treat from me.
