No yolk: Boston Police report numerous stores along Centre Street in West Roxbury were egged on Oct. 1. So they scrambled at E-5 and asked local supermarkets and convenience stores to refuse to sell eggs to anybody under 18, at least through Halloween. Also:

We ask that parents be attentive to their children. Look out for things such as backpacks being brought out, especially on weekends and on Halloween night. Listen! Keep an ear out for talk about egg wars. If you do overhear your children and you think they might participate in throwing eggs inform them of the consequences of these actions. We consider throwing eggs to be a very serious crime. Anyone caught throwing eggs at businesses, houses, or cars will be charged with willful and malicious destruction of property. Anyone caught throwing eggs at people will be charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.
