What's especially sad about this story is that, on some occasions when I've been on a cookie-baking spree, I've thought of making cookies for my neighbors. I've never met most of them.

But I've never done it, because I figured in an age where parents throw out trick-or-treat lollipops because they might've been unwrapped and re-wrapped, my cookies would be as likely to be thrown away as enjoyed.

Hmmm. I understand the thrust of your point, but reach a different conclusion.

The cookie drop was a cause precedent to the woman's anxiety, but it was her rather strange reaction to the situation.

Note that the anxiety attack occurred AFTER the "victim" learned that it was just a tin of cookies and a nice note. She was not merely attempting to recover costs of her attack -- she was teaching these two girls "a lesson", as she put it.

Remember also that there were two other people in her house that evening. And that there was no indication that she had EVER been burglarized -- but HAS "tangled with" neigbors previously.

Reviewing your last paragraph, I am of the tentative belief based upon the evidence so far that the "other possibilities" are much less likely.

The power of cookies!

:) This seems very appropriate, somehow.
