Wow. We've never had that happen around here, despite the fact that we've worried about it forever. Last night, the girls had a good supper before they went out, and I went through everything before they pigged out. A few families put return mail address labels on their treat bags, which I really appreciate.
The ony strange thing they got last night was canned goods. Some guy ran out of candy, so he gave DD a big jar of peanuts and Melanie got a couple of cans of soup. They were still sealed and looked fine, so I let them keep them.
I just checked on snopes.com about the "poisoned treats" story, and it appears to be exceedlingly rare.
