Elmhurst Man Arrested For Egging Neighbor's House

It doesn't seem like kids in Illinois are pulling neighborhood pranks anymore; the parents who are old enough to know better are now picking up the slack.

Illinois Police Arrest Man For Egging His Neighbor's House

It's funny because over the weekend, I went to visit my mom in the suburbs of Chicago. I saw something that I haven't seen in years. It was a house that got TP'd. Toilet paper has gotten too expensive, and it's way too easy to get busted with security cameras at many houses.

I'll admit, when I was younger. My friends and I were pretty mischievous and pulling pranks throughout our neighborhoods. We would TP and egg houses of people we didn't like. In the case that you got caught, the consequences weren't that severe.
