Cap K remarks: (tricks don't fill the loot bag)

The tricks referred to were always something of a veiled threat. Give us treats or we'll pull a trick on you. The trick, in its mildest form would be something like soaping your windows or other acts of soft vandalism and could escalate to the old favorite of filling a paper bag with used dog food, lighting it on fire ringing your doorbell and running. Tossing rotten eggs at your house was another favorite.
