Where I grew up in the suburbs of Metro Detroit, Michigan, the night before Halloween was named Devil's Night, and sometimes toilet paper was tossed into trees, words written in soap were scrawled on windows, and maybe an egg or two were tossed.
For us, Devil's Night was mostly harmless, being a way for kids to burn off a bit of energy.
However, some locations were seriously vandalized or ignited, and that just cannot be tolerated.
Nowadays, this practise is seriously frowned upon, and may even be illegal, and many local communities have volunteer patrols to keep properties from such damage.
A few devil jokes today, for your entertainment:
