this has made my night finding this, had a very bad day today, i remember doing this when i was a kid we called it knock down ginger too, knocking on the door and then running like mad lol, we also used to move peoples garden gnomes around the streets swapping them with other peoples, we always thought it was great fun never actually distroying stuff as we had enough respect to know better but moving stuff about well that always seemed harmless!

I never did this (but only cos I wasn't allowed out on Mischievous Night ) but seriously you people need to lighten up. I live in Student Halls and get all kinds of noises at all times of night - just deal with it. Someone once knocked on my door (at uni) at some stupid time in the morning, I answered it (naked) and asked if I could help, never seen anyone more shocked in my life

I doubt that the person who did it was a car thief or a vandal; I just think he was a bit drunk

Thought I had this problem a couple of weeks ago.
Doorbell would ring, no-one at the door.
Once it rang just as I was about to open it, again no-one there.
Then I realised that whenever I looked outside, there was someone at the door 6 houses down.

Ah, the joys of owning a cordless doorbell.

Open it up, change the channel number, no more problems.

Heh, next kids will be buying a cordless doorbell and standing nowhere near your house, eliminates the running bit

We also called this Knock Down Ginger, maybe the different names relate to the area you grew up in, anyhow this was always seen as great fun round our way but my mates dad used to sit at the upstairs window waiting with an old squirty washing up bottle full of water when the kids were doing the rounds, alls fair etc etc.

The newest one the kids are doing is going around the supermarket with me and putting things in other people's trolleys when they are not looking, I think it is daft, they think it is hilarious....!
