Irresponsibly, I used to sabotage certain lights.

Then there was the night cops were looking for a killer and we were relocated... any crazy "While I was observing one night..." stories?

I have a wrist rocket slingshot. And I am good with it.

You have no idea how often I have looked at the street light in my alley and wished I had no scruples.

Hilarious. Guess what I used? I even got good at going through one plate and the bulb without the rock going through the other side.

*caution: statement not to be taken seriously because I have never done any such horrible thing*

Yah, I used to live far enough south to ovserve some things I miss... like Omega Centauri for example... but then there's M13 here and of course when you have to "settle" for having Orion in the sky most nights, well...

Almost everyone can see Orion, It passes 60 degrees above the horizon from Melbourne at 38 degrees south. The only people who don't get a good view of it live near the poles.
