Florida teens throw boxing match after breaking into $8 million home
Florida teens with their phones out during boxing match in $8 million home after breaking in to throw wild party.
Hundreds of uninvited teenagers broke into a Texas family's home for a "mansion rager" party that they promoted on social media without the homeowners' knowledge.
"We started receiving numerous phone calls from our neighbors that there were kids on our water tower on our property, there were cars up and down the street, and kids were hopping over the front of our fence," the Austin homeowner told Fox 7, saying the shindig caused thousands of dollars in damages.
The unidentified homeowner said he rushed home last Saturday night and found "car after car after car just trying to flee the scene." The party was reportedly promoted on the social media app SnapChat, where it was described as a "mansion rager."
The homeowner said this wasn't a case of local students knowing a classmate's parents weren't home for the weekend - the family only has a toddler who isn't in the local school system yet.
"It was horrifying. I mean, it was just [an] unbelievable total violation of one's privacy," the homeowner said.

When the Austin homeowner pulled up to his house, he found the front gate was broken, all the lights were on, the front door was wide open, and other areas in the home were damaged by the drunken teenagers.
"They had beer cans, the seltzer cans, like White Claw. I saw they had thrown like avocados at the wall, there was damage to sheetrock and baseboards. They had thrown tools through the sheetrock of our garage. They had my daughter's toys scattered around the property," the homeowner told Fox 7.

The homeowner said some of the partiers left articles of clothing behind, showing they attended schools from all over the area.
"We have some articles of other kids that were out on the property, and it was from all the major high schools in the Greater Austin area. It was West Lake High, Vandegrift, Lake Travis and Bowie, those are for certain," the homeowner told Fox 7.

The Travis County Sheriff's Office is investigating the incident and calling members of the public with information on the case to come forward. The sheriff's office told Fox News Digital on Sunday that the investigation is ongoing and there are no updates at this time.

"There seems to be little consequences for these actions, and I feel like it'll keep getting worse if we don't get to the bottom of things like this," the homeowner added.
A similar incident unfolded in Florida last year after teenagers broke into an $8 million home in Santa Rosa for a wild party. In addition to breaking in, the suspects were accused of stealing a $1,500 bottle of wine, a $3,500 Yves Saint Laurent purse and a football signed by Hall of Fame NFL quarterback Peyton Manning.

What the Fuck?
There had to be a group that would know when a house is empty.

Waiting for the congressional hearings on SnapChat...
Waiting for Texas to start bussing unwanted teenagers to New York or Martha's Vineyard.

So while all attention is on Twitter, shit happens on the other social media sites, apparently unnoticed.
that's where I'd look to find the missing purse and autographed football. they drank that bottle of wine there...
It'll be on truth social marketplace.
I always got caught when I had a party. Not because the house was trashed but because it was clean.
I am stating to think that while people complain about twitter, it is mostly older people there. The kids seem to be other places...
I was never stupid enough to hold a party at the family home. I did fall thru an antique lamp with a bunch of crystal hanging on it. left a nice pickup truck front bumper crease down the side of some asshole jocks race car. got so f'd up once I drove away and left my date behind when I thought I heard sirens, she helped me to remember a few hours later when we ran into each other at the local 24/7 diner. ... and those are some that I kind of remember.
For some reason that reminded me of that scene in Saving Private Ryan, where the local gave his daughter to the soldiers and when they gave her back she slapped her Dad...Haha
once I fell asleep at the drive-in on a date till 4am. I came around the corner and saw her dad sitting on her front porch at the end of the street. I pulled over and told her to get out and walk the rest of the way.
