During the COVID-19 pandemic Halloween was had to be different. Some states and cities did not allow people to participate in it, but they still did. Utah County even had a huge dance party on the outskirts of Saratoga Springs that was eventually shut down after a body surf incident went wrong. The Eagle Mountain facebook pages came alive with videos of people stealing Halloween Candy. Because of COVID-19 a lot of people left bowls out for the kids to take candy from to maintain social distancing. But there were a lot of people that took advantage of this and stole the candy and the entire bowl. With the age of technology, these thieves were caught on video. Steve W writes, “BOWL BANDITS. Halloween night, bunch of kids jacked our bowl, in this masterfully set up and well-executed raid. No, I’m not calling the police over a two-dollar bowl and on teenagers having their prank. Yes, I’d really like my bowl back. I LIKED that bowl. Edit : bowl recovered. In pieces. Oh well.” This group of teenagers took off with the entire bowl.
Ashlyn W reported, “I saw a couple posts about a 4×4 stealing candy bowls…they took mine too. We had just refilled it. This is why we can’t have nice things.”
Eagle Mountain was not the only place that people were stealing candy from people’s porches. If you do a search in Facebook, you will see people all over the nation posting videos of Candy Pirates of Bowl Bandits.
