Foreclosures Taking Its Toll On Some Halloween Trick-Or-Treaters

In Cape Coral, Florida, WBBH-TV Channel 2 reports:
  • Halloween night may prove to be somewhat disappointing for some Cape Coral trick-or-treaters. There are so many foreclosed homes; kids may have a hard time finding the candy they've been waiting for all year.

  • The Kinik family of Cape Coral loves turning they're home into a haunted house. But they won't be there to enjoy it Friday night and say chances are - no one will. "Nobody lives around here anymore and it's getting like that everywhere," said Stephanie Kinik.

  • These days, instead of neighbors - they have overgrown weeds and lock boxes. [...] Police [say] because the kids will only be thinking about the treats, parents will need to watch out for any potential tricks lurking around the foreclosed homes.
