Teenagers aren’t famous for their decision-making skills, but one house party in Florida may go down as the dumbest thing one group of teens has ever done.
According to the local police, they received a call regarding a noise complaint from Blackwater Street in Watercolor. By the time the police arrived, most of the illicit revelers had gone home, but remnants of their highly illegal party could still be found on Instagram and Snapchat.
Those videos painted a picture of an out-of-control party hosted in a home that didn’t belong to any of the people in attendance. The $8 million mansion also saw impromptu boxing matches being held in the foyer, as well as illegal alcohol consumption and incredibly loud music.
Watch:

“An open house party is against the law. An open house party in a home you break into is a burglary,” read a Facebook post from Walton County Sheriff’s Office addressing the rager.
“Apart from the damage caused and the items stolen, it’s a complete violation of someone’s home that you can’t put a price on. The feeling when you know someone went into your closet, tried on your clothes, and used your bathroom doesn’t have a dollar amount attached to it. Especially in a place where you’re supposed to feel safe.”
One image released from the party shows a young man trying on rings found in the house.
Unfortunately for the rebellious youngsters, Snapchat videos can be subpoenaed, meaning that nothing on there is truly “private” and can be used as evidence that the crew broke into the home and used it for criminal purposes.
“You may think it is if you are a teenager or someone in their early 20s, and you are not yet worldly. Your friends will snitch. Word gets out. You’ll be tagged in pics on the Gram.”
The office even had a rebuttal for the “kids will be kids” crowd: “We want you to ask yourself how you would feel if your home was ransacked and your sense of peace and security was taken from you. Before you say, ‘they might not have known,’ ask yourself if what was taking place was appropriate (or legal) regardless if they had permission to be there (which they did not). Before making an excuse for these kids, ask why they felt they could do this in the first place.”
The post concludes by asking anyone involved or anyone with information to come forward and do the right thing.
