For anyone fretting over Halloween, Kansas underwriters are offering cheap prankster insurance.

For $2 a house or $5 a business, the Kansas Association of Life Underwriters is offering insurance policies that cover property clean-ups in the event of Halloween mischief.

”If somebody soaps your windows or throws trash in your yard or TPs

(toilet papers) your bushes, we have a group that goes around and cleans it up,” Dan Molden, executive director of the underwriters` group, said Wednesday.

Proceeds will be donated to Special Olympics organizations across the state, Molden said.

”It`s a novel idea to raise money for a worthy cause,” he said.

This is the second year the underwriters` group has sold the insurance.

Last year, only a handful of claims were submitted. Among them were claims from a McDonald`s restaurant in Leavenworth and a business in Pittsburg, Kan., Molden said.

Policyholders need to file their claims the day after Halloween by calling a telephone number listed on the policies.
