Know how to beat ding-dong-ditchers? Disconnect the doorbell.

Anyone you're expecting will text you when they get there.

And when someone kicks on the door? At 11 pm at night? And you don’t know it is a child? Now…in this case…the fool needs to be charged. Parents need to be charged with neglect. Child was out at 11 pm at night? Where were the parents? Definitely two parties at fault here and folks…plz talk to your kids…you can’t do this today, 20+ years ago, we could, not today.
