[Schrodinger's Cat]

I suppose I can understand a woman alone in a rural area becoming frightened by a mysterious knocking on her door late at night. I wonder if she called the sheriff's department? I would think that having a couple of husky young deputies come out and check around the premises only to find a plate of cookies would have gone a long way toward preventing this woman's anxiety attack. What I also don't understand is why this woman would feel the need to sue these two girls after she discovered what was really going on. It doesn't sound as those the girls meant any harm. They may have made an error in judgement running around knocking on people's doors at that late an hour, but at least they weren't out vandalizing property or drinking and driving. At most, the judge should have told the girls to write the woman an apology for not considering how such late activities might impact someone who had no idea what was happening. Having the kids pay damages is ridiculous.
