You and your kids get away for a much-deserved one week vacation before the new school year starts up.
While you are gone, 20 people in their mid-teens invade your house and have a wild, all-night party during the weekend while you are gone. They eat your food, drink your alcoholic beverages, and even have sex in your master bedroom. The next morning, they cook a big breakfast for all those who are still partying in your home.
Even though you’ve lived in that house long enough to know all your neighbors, some of whom knew you were out of town, no one calls the police despite considerable noise and steady foot and car traffic all night long.
You come home to a filthy house and an empty fridge. The only thing left to quench your thirst is tap water – every other beverage was consumed by those who came to party while you were gone.
This is not a dream I had last night, or a dramatization for TV. It really happened. Right here in West Boca!
Unfortunately for the revelers, they posted photos of their caper on the Internet, which enabled the police to ID some of them. The host of this home invasion party turned out to be a 16 year-old who lives in the house next door.
This story is being posted as a cautionary tale.
Next time you leave town, make sure you tell your neighbors and ask them to keep an eye on your property. If they see anything even a little suspicious, tell them to CALL THE POLICE!
