Home Alone in Real Life

  Around two years ago, I remember having a conversation with a former coworker about the movie Home Alone. We talked about how if you did the things that Kevin did in real life you could get into trouble. I'll explain why and how.
  First off in Home Alone, Kevin's parents could get in trouble for leaving their 8 year old son home alone. Even though it was an honest mistake, you could get in hot water for welfare and endangerment of a child. Recall the scene where Kate McCallister calls the Chicago Police Department to send an officer to go check on there son. There is a major problem here. I am not trying to review this movie, it is one of my favorites. Wouldn't you think that the police officer would even question Kate because of the fact that she left her son home alone? Nope they don't even ask that at all. These cops seem pretty lazy to me, like the police in Hawaii.
  Now how about the scene where Kevin pranks the pizza delivery guy from Little Nero's Pizza? You know when he turns the volume up on the TV with Angels With Filthy Souls playing? When Kevin scared the living shit out of the pizza guy wouldn't the pizza guy call the damn cops to say that he was being shot at? Apparently not. Kevin was lucky that this pizza guy wasn't a war vet who has nightmarish flashbacks of his war experiences.
  Since I'm on the subject of the Pizza guy, how about we talk about his driving habits. Did you notice the running gag where the pizza delivery guy knocks over the statue every time with his piece of shit Dodge Omni? Little Nero's Pizza must have a similar 30 minutes or less policy like Domino's has but it's an obvious parody of Little Caesar's. If the pizza guy broke the statue from knocking it over, he could lose his job. Statues like that aren't cheap.
  I'd also like to mention that shooting someone in the head with a BB gun is a crime. Assault with a deadly weapon to be more specific. Kevin was lucky that he didn't kill Marv when he shot him in the head at point blank range.
  The booby traps that Kevin sets up is also illegal because he could he could be sued by the robbers for injuries caused by the booby traps. When Harry and Marv slip and fall on the icy steps, lets say that Harry or Marv broken a bone when the slipped and fell, they could sue for their injuries. I know this sounds backwards that a burglar sues the homeowner in court because of injuries sustained and he tells the court that he was robbing the house when he got injured. But the court does not look at the fact that he was burglarizing a house, they look at the injuries sustained while doing so. If the burglar wins his/her case, then they can arrest him/her for burglary.
  Now you know that you could get into trouble for doing things seen in the movie Home Alone in real life. This wasn't a nitpicking of the movie it is just, a what would happen in reality if you imitated the movie.
