Ding dong door bell ditch - part 2

[Danny Tanner]

I think it's sad we now live in a world where my future offspring can't ding/dong/ditch without fear of being arrested, or catching double 12 gauge through the door

True dat. Like I said, I've had no problems with them ding dong ditching me, so I'll never call the cops on them for doing so as long as they leave my other property alone. I've also considered hiding out with water balloons just for some quick retaliation. However, we now live in a world where I could be arrested for assault just for returning a prank to a bunch of kids who aren't hurting anybody.

please elaborate........

Just to clarify, my parents didn't raise me that way. This is what all kids called it and I actually hadn't heard of ding dong ditch until I was at least legal smoking age, maybe even drinking age.

Glad they got caught

In my youth, a paper bag full of dog poo was usually lit on the concrete walk by the offending parties. Lots of fun then watching someone stomp flaming dog poo to put it out... Today that would result in an arson charge I bet...

So what exactly are the charges for ding dong ditching?

Based upon what he said, probably the breaking into cars part.

That sort of knocking doesn't work on my house. I don't answer the door to people unannounced.

I understand that, but his initial post(part 1, not this thread) was about calling the cops for being "ding dong ditched". What would be the charge for that, if it's even a crime?

Disorderly conduct?

My doorbell is attached to a speaker on the porch that has a recording a a Marine Corps final protective fire exercise.

(not really, but that's what I want)
