A Halloween trick-or-treater was caught on surveillance video swiping an entire bowl of candy from a Federal Way home. But karma didn’t wait long. Within seconds of grabbing his sugary loot, the kid face-planted after slipping on the wet entryway.

For homeowners who won’t be around on Halloween night — or who may have physical limitations that make door-answering difficult — leaving a bowl of candy outside is a convenient trick-or-treating solution.

But, inevitably, there’s always that one kid who just can’t resist taking it all. And this time, in an instant of cosmic justice, the candy thief took a nosedive the moment he tried to make his grand escape. What’s worse? This was the first trick-or-treater of the night.
