    The Party Gone Horribly Wrong

    Just read this article via Fark.com about an English teens birthday party that went from exciting to out of control while his parents were away.

    The kid had planned a party for 120 of his closest friends (holy crap) but word leaked out about the bash at his parents luxurious $2.8 million dollar mansion (£1.5 million) and suddenly the population jumped from 120 to 400.

    Here’s a quote from the article about some of the unfortunate events:

    Hundreds of people were crammed into the rooms and spilling down the gravel drive.

    Litter was everywhere and one drunken girl had stolen £800 cash and was handing tenners to passers-by in the street. Gatecrashers had also:

    GLUGGED down a case of Mr Neep’s £60-a-bottle vintage red wine — before emptying the cocktail cabinet of fine brandy, port, whisky and assorted spirits.

    RIFLED through bedroom drawers, stealing any cash they could find, plus electrical gadgets, CDs and DVDs and designer perfumes, and

    SET off fire extinguishers and sprinkled hot chocolate powder into the carpets.

    The party crashers also stole electronic equipment like iPods iRiver (thanks for clarifying that, Rob), DVD Players, DVD’s & CD’s, and various other personal belongings of both the son and his parents. This also included the crate of champagne and most of the other domestic and vintage liquor.

    He finally panicked and called his folks (it was the neighbors who called. Thanks again, Rob) who returned home to find the mess and promptly called the cops.

      Hahahaha. Ok I am the guy who held the party. A friend of mine said they saw somewhere that $4.7M was stolen, to which I laughed as we don't even have that kind of money haha!

      Those quotes are from the Sun newspaper, which is full of lies anyway. Just for you guys i'll say a few things. I don't have an iPod, never will have an iPod or will even think about getting one. My iRiver got stolen, not an iPod. We did not lose any computer equipment. They did not take any cds or dvds, but they took out DVD player and game cube.

      Aparently one girl had taken £800 cash (thats about $1600 for you birds across the pond) and handed it out down the road to passers by.

      What no newspapers mentioned was that one guy fell into the pond and was walking around soaking!

      The total cost of cleaning carpets and repairing tiles was £1000 ($2000). All the money had to come from my car fund, so now I can't drive for like 2 years :(

      Its a funny thing though, I dont feel upset that this happened, I laugh about it, and the fact that I can find out about my own party on hundreds of websites, an in international papers says something.

      And get your facts right.. there were 400 people in total, I invited 120. I DID NOT call my parents, they were informed by my neighbours. I called the police when I realised there were 200 people in my backgarden haha!

      Just be glad that you are the second group that I have officially spoken to!

      My senior year of high school, my cousins threw three consecutive parties, three nights in a row, while their parents were out of town. They parents put up the money for them (bad parents, I know) and my parents were unaware. The first party was the oldest cousin's who had graduated the year prior and nothing unfortunate happened. At the second party of Juniors, we witnessed a sex act and that was as bad as it got that night. The third party however, was a nightmare. Freshmen. Skaters used the hot tub waterfall to skate into and 'surf' the pool, breaking three tiles on the hot tub, the carpet got stained in numerous places, and one girl (an enemy of the family who had been asked to leave) looked Wendy and I right in the eye and stamped out her cigarette on the dining room carpet! The next day was hell trying to get all of the stuff fixed before the parents got home. We had to replace the tile (which involved draining the hot tub)cut and patch the carpet, etc. Turns out that the youngest cousin detested the experience so much that she didn't have another party until she was on her own in college.
      Big tip: yes, giving your kid a keg party in high school does up the popular quotient, but your house gets ruined and ultimately, probably, so does your kid.
