But what if it's not just a game and someone's actually in trouble? I've seen kids play pranks that looked real, so it's good to be sure. Maybe take a quick look around before writing it off.
Kinda feel like you're overthinking it. Most times it's just kids being dumb and calling the cops over every weird noise makes everyone jumpy. You can keep an eye out without turning it into a whole thing, you know? Jumping to the worst case every time just stresses people out for no good reason lol.
