Why are we like this? I'm new

There's a handful of places around the Midwest that do beggars night. The main reason I've heard was that it was to stop children from pulling pranks like egging/TPing houses, which honestly makes no sense to me. You just freed up their entire Halloween night for that by having trick or treating on a different day

It's such a low stakes change but at the same time, like, why bother changing it at all.
