I don’t know where you live but a talking pumpkin with a phone inside it would be gone in sixty seconds round here. Even a very old phone.

"I don't know where you live, but where I live..." is typically a phrase meant to imply that the properties of "where you live" are vanishingly rare, but that's not the case with high-trust neighborhoods. In the minority, yes. Not bizarre or unheard of or restricted to the wealthy, though.

Neat idea but I think the phone would get "jacked" pretty quick. Why not use a bluetooth speaker somewhere nearby instead?
