Molly and Bill crouch behind a hedge outside a cheerful suburban house. Molly: "Bill, are you sure the clown distraction will work?" Bill: "Positive, I've hired Larry the Red-Nose. He delays them by at least ten minutes with balloon animals." Molly: "While they're dazzled by twisted rabbits, we slip in through the doggy door?" Bill: "Exactly. And I've got mini flashlights shaped like bunnies. Totally inconspicuous." Molly: "I still worry about tiny ninjas… I mean, kids. They're unpredictable." Bill: "Fear not, I've memorized all security protocols from their invitation: no parents, no door alarms." Molly: "What about the birthday cake guard dogs?" Bill: "Real dogs, or sugar-fueled toddlers? I'll bring treats." Molly: "Smart. Let's blacklist jammy toddlers next time." Bill: "Operation Gift Grab is greenlit. Remember zip ties are optional, especially on piñata sticks." Molly: "And the getaway car is disguised as an ice cream truck?" Bill: "Vanilla theme, jingle bell engine. No one suspects thieves humming 'Happy Birthday.'" Molly: "Brilliant. Ready to snatch every present under fifty dollars?" Bill: "Values over sentiments. Go time." Molly: "To the hedge!" Bill: "Don't forget the loot bags: kid-proof, toddler-resistant." Molly: "If the kids wake up, we blame the sugar coma." Bill: "Vintage oven mitts."
