But the part we always forget is that the robber was the “cop” that had come to the house the night before the trip.
So this kid was like the cops are so corrupt I have to deal with this on my own.
Didn’t even think of that. You’re right.
and that’s what we should all learn from him
Didn’t the storm knock the phone lines out? That’s why Moira didn’t call the house and called the cops to try and get them to do a wellness check.
Yes.
This movie is nearly bulletproof. John Hughes thought of every plausible hole and plugged it. He was a genius.
He calls and orders a pizza
Because later the lines get fixed.
Kevin also didn’t want his parents to get in trouble so he didn’t call the cops
He thinks his family actually disappeared. He remarks that they couldn’t have gone to Paris, because their cars are still in the garage. The garage having been left open is even a plot point, to allow Kevin to make this realization quicker.
He does eventually call the police. It’s the last step of his plan. He calls them to his neighbor’s house.
The movie is seriously bulletproof. Like how Kevin spills Pepsi on his ticket and we see it accidentally get thrown in the garbage the night before.
Fun story:
When my daughter met Santa Claus for the first time, she’d recently seen Home Alone and was obsessed, and she introduced herself as Kevin.
When it was time to take a picture I said, “Ok [daughter’s name which in all fairness does have an “ev” sound in it], get in Santa’s sleigh.”
Then Santa leaned over and whispered, “Ohh. I thought she said her name was Kevin.”
“Yeah, no, she did say Kevin.”
Santa thought that was weird.
HA1 was in Chicago. CPD is half as corrupt as NYPD
HA2 was in New York. NYPD is half as corrupt as LAPD.
LAPD is corruption incarnate.
Kevin had no other choice. besides he was staying in a hotel with a human trafficker and pedophile, things were already dangerous enough as it was.

Or he was just too afraid to contact the police. Remember, this took place in the USA, where people have reason to fear them.
He was white and from a wealthy family, he’d be fine.
one call [to the police] and he would have been safe
just because it’s fiction doesn’t mean it’s fantasy
This is Kevin now. Feel.old yet?
Kevin went full ACAB.
Prepping for the Good Son movie role
Every white suburban man’s wet dream.
