Girl invites MySpace partygoers to trash house

[Sakura]

Up to 200 teenagers from across the country trashed a family house while the parents were away after their daughter advertised a party on MySpace, police said today.

Revellers caused £20,000 of damage to the £230,000 property after the invitation for the Easter Monday celebration was posted on the popular site as a "Skins Unofficial Party" - a reference to the controversial Channel 4 series which featured scenes where a teenage get-together got out of hand.

Partygoers allegedly urinated on the mother's wedding dress and children's clothes; stole cash and jewellery; ripped light fittings from the ceiling by swinging on them; stubbed out cigarettes on the carpet; vomited throughout the house and barricaded the back door to prevent neighbours from intervening.

Worried neighbours in the quiet cul-de-sac in Woodstone, near Houghton-le-Spring, County Durham, repeatedly called police as hordes of drunken youths caused chaos from 10.30pm on the Bank Holiday to 3am on Tuesday.

The sixth former's parents returned that day to find a trail of devastation. They have been forced to move out of their home while it is professionally cleaned.

"The girl's parents were away, she invited people around and it spiralled out of her control," a Durham police spokesman said. "It was a private house party and we've been told it was advertised on MySpace.

"We had a large number of complaints from neighbours and at various points we had to intervene."

Officers left the house when the partygoers turned the music down, only to be called back later when the party resumed to full effect. On another occasion they found scores of youngsters roaming the modern estate.

The police spokesman said many of the people at the party were not local - with two reportedly travelling from London for the bash - and had no way to get home.

He said the force made no arrests on the night but will attempt to trace all the partygoers while investigating the allegations of criminal damage.

If only they were the "wrong" friends, that would be some party alright..

[Genesis]

So, this happened in England?

Lol, party advertised on myspace. From my limited knowledge of what that thing is, it sounds pretty stupid to me to do such a thing.

[Lord Yu]

Now that sounds like a party.

[Sara]

This is so sickening.

What has happened to people these days, seriously.:(

[Red]

One girls stupidity becomes news. What must I do for fame?

News nowadays are going to the dogs.

[Mukuro Rokudo]

WOW... Makes one wonder where the girl's common sense went? Parties might be great, but in turn makes itself spiral out of control and down the toilet... :doh

[That NOS Guy]

Wheel of motivational posters turn, turn, turn, tell us the lesson that we should learn:

[Blaze of Glory]

Man, why do the police always have to be such bitches?

[Instant Karma]

I agree with That NOS Guy.

They failed before the party even took place by simply being on myspace to see that party advertised.

[Red Viking]

Wow, she advertised a party on MySpace? Apparently she didn't realize that anything you put on the Internet can be seen by the entire world.

$10 bucks says she's grounded till she's 21.

[DarkFire]

lol...that's insane posting a party on Myspace...gotta understand the power of the internet

[mister_manji]

she obviously did it for the lulz

[Deputy Myself]

lol drunk teens

it just further proves that Myspace is the root of all evil

[Freiza]

great stuuf man, threw up around the house lawl

[Freiza]

she obviously did it for the lulz

i found youuuuuuuu!

[darkwater297]

The Internet is serious buisness.

[Qrαhms]

Even if my parents are away, I doubt I'll be able to pull it off. The neighbours here are sooooooooo old fashioned. -__-

[Kira Yamato]

This story almost tops the person who advertised on Craiglist saying that everything in a house was to be given away for free and when the owner came home, she found her house stripped down (kitchen sink and all).

Horrible crime and the people who actually committed the act thought it was okay to salvage for items and parts because it was advertised on Craiglist :lmao

Whoever listed the ad might have been the one who unlocked the door to the house so people who did show up we're able to come in without any hassle.


It was on my local news channel...I wish I can find the article >_<

[rockst☆r sin]

So, this happened in England?

Lol, party advertised on myspace. From my limited knowledge of what that thing is, it sounds pretty stupid to me to do such a thing.

Actually I went to a myspace party in NY and it was really great. The stupid part was people only knew you by your user name.

[Amaretti]

Stories like this are the reason I believe in karma.

Complete and utter stupidity repaid in perfect measure.

[Aokiji]

stupidity hurts...

[Kubisa]

Hmph, don't people realize how fast news spreads on the internet? What was she thinking? "Hey, lets post on the internet how my house is empty, and how I don't care who turns up; thieves, pricks, criminals - I don't care"

What's her stupidity level?
IT'S OVER 9000!

This girl deserved it; but her parents didn't deserve to pick up the bill. Still, must've been some party.

[escamoh]

:rotfl:rotfl

[mislead]

This makes me want to advertise a party at my neighbour's house on MySpace.

[Ino_Pig]

Did she put her bloody address up on it too? I laughed to myself when I saw this as my friend is having a house party in a few weeks. She too has it announced on her myspace, although she doesn't have her address up. :laugh


I read in the paper today that she's too scared to go home too. If I were her, I would be too. Although I wouldn't have done it in the first place.

[neko-sennin]

Hmmm...

Maybe I should advertise a "block party" at my backstabbing ex-roomates' house...

No. I suppose I'd better not. I'd be suspect Numero Uno. :P

[MasterFreinz]

"Let's invite people I've never met before from all over the country into my house."

[Hell On Earth]

What a dumb ass bitch; her parents should carve her ass up.

[Nico]

I'm pretty sure that the girl's myspace is public and the notation of the party was spreaded by a bulletin. I find it most ironic that it happened in England. I though it happened in America. :oh

[Tokoyami]

Yet more proof that mypace needs to be removed from the nets and it's creators shot.

[Jetstorm]

*Shakes head*

Where has common sense gone? It seems to have gone extinct alongside the dinosaurs.

[Yakushi Kabuto]

"Partygoers allegedly urinated on the mother's wedding dress and children's clothes", I hope they were incredibly drunk when they did that. o.O; On the bright side, at least that girl learned how horrible the idea of inviting over total strangers could be.

[Vicious-chan]

What a stupid girl.. THIS IS WHAT PEOPLE GET WHEN THEY NEVER CONSIDER CONSEQUENCES... god... the day the legalize an act that forbids stupid people to breed is the day our world begins to improve.

[Tuga-kun]

she should have been raped so she would gain some intelligence ;<

[Tuga-kun]

I'm double posting to add to the news, the girl says she didn't invite them but that someone hacked her myspace, here's the follow up on the news:

[Lain]

Let's invite 200 strangers to my house and see if they DON'T make a mess.

On the other hand, I would have loved to be at that party.

[AbnormallyNormal]

[Jaga]
