During a wild Saturday night party, a group of Florida teens ransacked mansion worth $8 million, and the owner wants them prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
She told The Washington Post that she had “done” it all. “Criminally. Civilly. Everything. They need to be held accountable by their parents. The alternative is that we’ll take their place.”
Asked if she was aware of any parties taking place in her Watercolor, Florida, home, the angry victim said she was unaware because her husband and two small children were out of town at the time.
According to her, authorities started looking into the case after receiving suspicious 911 hang-up calls from the address. In the beginning, “I was just shocked,” she said of her initial reaction to the news. That they would do, that made me feel utterly disgusted. We’ve been here six years and raised our children here.
Even boxing matches in the living room were staged by the partygoers who ransacked the house and boozed their way through the night.
While going through closets and drawers, police say they also snatched a trove of luxury goods and tried on clothing. She said that her haul included a $1,500 bottle of wine and a signed Peyton Manning football.
According to the homeowner, the intruders may have targeted the house because it was on the market.
Astonished by their willingness to share videos of the throwdown on social media and the videos’ effect on her, she said, “They could easily see people were living there.”
When asked if she recognized any of the people in the video, she said she had two older children who no longer live at home. Before she got home, she said, her friends and neighbors had kindly cleaned up the party’s mess. They had gathered a total of ten trash bags. The woman also noted that all of the beds in the house had been sampled by intruders at some point.
She described the reaction of the locals as “outrageous.” When these kids thought they could walk into someone’s house and do this, I don’t know how they did it.” We will not tolerate it.”
