He was so small we weren't going to carve him ( him... ), but then my husband gave it a go anyways, and made the traditional little face on him. We put him on our lamp post by the driveway. When we went out to blow out the candles later in the evening, he was gone So now, we keep the littlest pumpkins closest to the house to protect them

That's him, on the right:

That's awesome jack-o-lanterns you got there. I don't think I ever carved one, but I got pumpkins for many years from out east on the North Fork. Hell, I was just out there yesterday, making jokes about a tourist trap farmstand trying to steal "from them cityfolk" (you gotta understand that, way out east on Long Island, the South Fork has all the rich people in the Hamptons and the North Fork is mainly farmland that is ripe for idiots like me from more developed areas to make bad jokes about how, among the wineries, the sod farms are "giant fields of grass" when I was little)

Sadly, I didn't get a pumpkin this year and I'm yet to have problems with kids throwing it into our oh-so (read: not) busy street, the kids running across my lawn doesn't hold a candle to that brat Maybe you should set up a camera, see who it is, and give his parents what for!
