Nobody came trick-or-treating :( (self.casualconversation)

I moved to a house (my first) recently and we bought full size chocolate bars and beef jerky sticks to give out (in case someone doesn't want chocolate).

Not a single child came. I didn't see or hear anyone under 20 the entire night. We all stayed out on the porch for hours.

The only chocolate bar we gave out was to the pizza lady.

Does nobody trick-or-treat? We have kids in the neighborhood. I see them rising bikes during the day.

How was everyone else's Halloween?

Edit: We got one! Long after trick or treating hours were over, a little cowboy knocked on our door. I gave him like 5 candy bars and 2 jerky sticks. He was very happy. His dad stopped in a car and he got out to knock on our door. I reckon it had to do with the fake neon LED "trick or treat" sign we hung on the porch.

It's Nextdoor that does those maps. But it depends on people in your neighborhood using it.

I'm saying if OP's neighborhood does, and they didn't mark their house, that could explain why they didn't see anyone. Refurbished if there aren't any other marked houses nearby, kids may just not go that way.
