I have a few suggestions for anyone who may be considering an activity of boredom-relieving doorbell ditching sometime in the future...
1. The light of day is not an appropriate time to participate in this kind of activity
2. Please choose to doorbell ditch a house that is NOT directly across the street from where you live
3. Find a hiding spot that is not in the front yard of the house you are targeting
4. Don't panic and run away when you hear people walking down the steps close to your hiding spot
5. Don't assume that your own backyard is your best safe haven after such an offense
6. And never ever ever look in the general direction of the crotchety old man who is chasing you down and threatening to call the cops
Kudos to the girls and their friend who had the courage to disclose all information regarding the crime to their parents. And a big thanks to the neighbors who were very kind to our girls and their friend when they actually stuck around after ringing the doorbell the second time (and a few days later) with some cookies and an apology.

So funny! My boys keep trying to do it, and I catch them every time because they are loud planners. They would totally start at our own house, and then do the next door neighbors. There aren't any children on our street, except mine, so it would be obvious who did it.
awesome.
I'd freak out of Jared came after me, too. scary.
at least they aren't smoking critty or whatever designer drug is cool?!
AND, at least you got cookies out of the deal.
