Halloween story back up

    I am going to reframe from describing myself, my house, or anything personal as I would rather no one figure out who I really am or where I live. I know what I did was illegal, and I won't make excuses for it. But I just have to get this off my chest and post it anonomously online.
   Where I live isn't a small town, more like a small city in the Mid-west (I guess), not really sure what part of the country they really mean when they say that. I guess just any part with forests but not deserts or near a coastline I guess. Any way, I am procrastinating. About three blocks from my house; which doesn't say much as the housing set up is winding roads, and odd intersections thanks to the hills the city is built over apparently; any way; about three blocks from my house there is this old house. The house's curtains are never open, in fact there are what look like shower curtains; what I learned are called privacy curtains, covering the front windows. The house doesn't look to be taken care of very well, missing roof tiles, missing pieces of the drain gutter. The yard is usually overgrown, grass, bushes, wild flowers. Every once and again you'd see a middle aged man with long hippy hair tied back and a scruffy neck beard come out of the house to mow the grass. But he'd only mow like the front yard, or part of the back yard at a time, go inside, and maybe finish or do another part hours later or even a day or two later. Same with trimming bushes, the tree out front. I wasn't sure he really lived in the house at first.
   There was also a car parked out front on the street despite a garage being in the back, but that garage in the alley way behind the house was always overgrown, it was like the last thing this guy ever thought about you'd think. Even his large back porch was always hidden underneath so many weeds and vines you'd think a supervillain like Poison Ivy lived there. He'd been there long enough that i remembered trick or treating, and there was weird art exhibit decorations in the yard, but they were put out right before trick or treating started, and taken back inside right after; and he only handed out like two pieces of the cheapest candy you could find, I recognized it as the stuff from like Dollar Tree. By the time I was a teenager her had stopped handing out candy, but he still had these little things in his yard, things you'd miss if you didn't get close to his door. Like tiny Halloween decorations, those little stick in the ground cheap stuff, a "Zombie research center" sign in his window by his front door, small things like that. Now I was at that age where I just stopped trick or treating, but felt you shouldn't have any decorations in your yard if you weren't going to hand out candy. So I got an idea in my head; which was in retrospect incredibly stupid, I didn't want to pull any pedestrian prank like egging his house or soap graffitti. No I wanted to send a message.
   See watching him, I knew he had Halloween decorations in his house, and candy. You'd see him come home with bags of Halloween junk and carry it into his house. He did this the previous year also, but still didn't hand out candy. So I was pretty sure he had no plans this year either. He had to be some weirdo, decorating the inside of his house like a haunted house, the stuff I'd see him carry inside were not small, like plastic skeletons, signs, heads, and other stuff I couldn't make out inside the bags clearly labeled from the Halloween store. Which also told me something else, despite the condition of his house, he had to have money. As you can probably tell by now I was planning to rob the guy. I know that isn't a prank, in my head at the time I was justifying it to myself as the Halloween robin hood. I was still (new) to being a teenager to be clear, I said I wouldn't say anything about myself but...I feel I have to at least try to explain my reasoning, I was 14 years old. That was my reasoning, a dumb kid who thought he was grown up, I believed I was thinking like a mature adult, when I was really thinking like a kid. I can't even believe now I thought it made sense to avenge the trick or treaters because some loner was keeping his Halloween to himself.
