- Paranoia causes neighbors to turn on each other. A perfect example of this is how Charlie turned on Les when his car mysteriously started!
- The residents of Maple St. are unable to control their fear. This leads Charlie shooting Peter Van Horn.
- It seems the only person not joining the mob, was Steve. Throughout the story, he manages to keep a level head. He remains logical and rational, trying to come up with a reasonable explanation. This runs very counter to the rest of the neighborhood.
