1) NY GAL…I would have strung up my son by his heels if he had ever done anything like this; I think this is despicable, certainly unlawful, and I hope they prosecute those responsible to the fullest extent of the law. Terrible behavior! It doesn’t matter if the house was vacant or not. “If it ain’t yours, don’t take it; don’t destroy it.” In any event, there’s no clear evidence it was actually VACANT; I assumed from reading the original article the folks were gone for the weekend. Once a year, I go on vacation for a week. That doesn’t mean my house is “vacant”. Temporarily “unoccupied” perhaps, but not “vacant”! My house has been “tossed” more than once when I was away for a weekend. I’ve never made an insurance claim. However both times, it was unsetelling! I lost some stuff, but the worst of it was walking into my home which was in total disarray on my return. Not damage, thank goodness, but total disarry. I felt it was “close to rape” … if it hasn’t happened to you, you won’t understand how a theft (and someone who has gone through your underwear drawer, as well) is a violation of your personal space.
2) Yes, certainly this is a post to keep us from opposing national health insurance from being rammed down our gullets. Get a grip out there! What’s important is important!
The only way I would find this even funnier is if it were YOUR house, Matt!
But seriously, it’s neandertholic comments like this– the whole ‘boys will be boys’ attitude — that encourage this sort of behavior in the first place. And who pays the $200K? Everyone else thru higher rates.
This happened near where I live and the whole community is in an uproar over it. They said that the kids don’t feel an remorse for destrying this house. A bunch of rich brats with too much time on their hands. Mine are too little but so help me if my kids ever do anything like this, they’ll be praying to go to jail when I’m done.
Oh please, this is very funny. More funny for those of us who did similar things and DIDN’T get caught. That’s the key. As teenagers we all did stupid things. Getting away with it was half the fun! If you didn’t do these types of things as a kid you were either very sheltered or a wus.
The kids got busted, they should be prosecuted. As for teaching them to be criminial, few parents do that. You are taking it to an extreme. Teach your kids to do right and hope they do. If they don’t, there are consequences.
By the way, when you were a teen, did you ever take the car without having a license, have a few drinks when you weren’t legal, drink & drive… If you say no, you are a liar and, by your standards, a criminal.
Actually, I can say No, and I’m not a liar. I had more than respect for my parents. I feared the conseqences and so I didn’t do wrong. I’m lucky enough to say I was raised right. I hope that my good sense has passed to my kids. The whole “kids will be kids” mentality goes out the window when they start crossing into criminal behavior. And they don’t seem to realize that they could have ruined their chances at getting into a good college or making a decent life for themselves because of this. It is very serious and would still be serious even if they hadn’t been caught.
In answer to your question, this happened near where I live so we got more details. There were apparently large holes in a lot of the walls, broken windows, destroyed appliances, fixtures ripped from the walls etc. It adds up when you consider that it was a 1.7 million dollar home and all the materials were top of the line.
Franklin, no I didn’t do any of those things. I’m not a wuss and not a liar. Since when is it an insult to NOT be stupid!? Not everyone acts like a fool and it’s not ok because “everybody does it”. Just look at Clinton…..oh right, you probably admire him.
Wow! You guys must have been real exciting to hang out with. Still think you both are liars. But what difference does that make.
Don’t forget. Bad, stupid decisions don’t make bad, stupid kids. Ask your husbands if they ever did anything like this. My money says they did. Are they bad people???
that’s a load of crap! I grew up with guys like this and they called us wussies too but they spoiled it for all of us…you see, the real smart thing would have been to use the place, keep it clean and no one would be the wiser. Calling attention to yourself is what i expect from jackasses!
Ins Girl NY, I’m with you. Franklin must have grown up with liberal parents. Franklin, sorry but I never acted this way and I’m not lying. Now go back to your hole.
Talk about a sheltered life…maybe if you loosened up a bit and actually had any fun when you were a kid, you could see the other side of things. I don’t think anyone here is saying what these teens did was right, but c’mon! How can you ever be 100% sure that your own kids would never do something like this? Because you raised them right?? Once they’re out of our sight, there’s no telling what they do…good kid or not.
I’m amazed that grown people are getting up in arms and taking potshots at each other about something like this. If my son ever was involved in such a thing, sitting down would not be an option for some time. It is wrong, but…. kids will do crazy @#$% just like everyone else. Kids have been holding parties in other people’s houses since time immortal. Doesn’t make it right, just a fact. Best solution is to try from the beginning to teach them to respect other people’s property. Just think, if they’d partied their behinds off, kept the joint clean, (or at least didn’t go around destroying stuff around the house) and gone about their business, we’d never heard a thing about this.
I think that the homeowner should ask our president for some bail out money to fix their house up better than ever. Then we wouldn’t even be talking about this.
These innocent teens grew up during the Bush presidency. Has anyone thought that this should be blamed on President Bush. Bet not one of them had any health insurance.
why did you have to bring in facts that don’t even exists in this case…
you could have said it was paul revere’s, after all it was in New England States….
— and secondly, why bring in health! they might not have any nightlife if the parents are strict, if not, i hope the judge throws the book at them for being so stupid!
That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. What does Bush have to do with partying teens in Albany? This implication here is that the teens should not be held accountable for their behavior (yet, I’d bet you’re also against parental consent for abortions for those very same teens who grew up under Bush’s presidency.) This is just typical uninformed left-wing bombast, devoid of any logical thought process, ideologically motivated, and designed to remove responsibility from the perpetrators. Think before you post a message, especially one as nonsensical as that one.
Go ahead and blame President Obama. He doesn’t care because he just beat you people and got free healthcare passed. He is the best thing that ever happened to America and he won the Nobull Piece Prise too. Those teens didn’t get screwed up in only 12 months and you know it!!!
You can’t really blame the kids – a million dollar empty house just sitting like that – these kids were ENTICED to go in there. Redistribution of wealth is very popular (and acceptable) right now. We need to save our resources for prosecuting REAL crimes, like a stranger saying something over a WalMart intercom.
it does not matter, kids should have not entered into this building. i bet it was locked and all. i am suprised that this individual did not have a security system, because i bet this had to be an expensive house to have $200k damage and it not be a total loss.
i hope that the kids learn a valuable lesson and work their tails off to help payback the damage they caused. probably the unfortunate thing is that the parents will have to help w/the payments due back. roughly, that puts the $2400 @teen to payback. time for the kids to cut lawns, rake leaves and many other items to help out for restitution. the kids knew it was wrong.
Room tempertature where those of us with the more intellectual minds stay is 76 degress celcius last time I checked. The average intellect of someone smart enough to vote for Obama is higher than 76 degrees celcius so what in the hell are you talking about. Global warming has fried the neocin brain and now climate change resulting from global warming is causing another ice age and the neocins brains have frozen like old donosaurs. You republicans are just mad as hell because President Obama stuck you with free health care and legalized illegals,
I know my goose is cooked when the internal temperature reaches 76 degrees celsius (170 or so fahrenheit). Not sure I’d be comfortable in a room that hot. Nor do I think I’d be able to pay the heating cost, unless maybe the gubmint would pay for it. Oh yeah!
By the way, any IQ below 80 is classified as either “borderline” or “intellectual deficient,” both of which are below “low average” and represent achievement in the bottom 10 percent of all IQ scores. (That means nine out of 10 do better, in case that was confusing.)
Rosie, you certainly made your point. And thanks so much for the morning chuckle. You rock, ROSIE!
Dave,
I appreciate your nice comments that Liberls are intellectuals with IQs above 76 celcius room tempertature. I do want to point out need to work on how you spell tempertature.
Maybe the spelling was a bit off, but you could still read it right? You’re just upset because you picked the wrong scale. Keep going girl, I’m one of your fans!!!

this is such a meaningless insurance journal article but it does make me laugh….good for a friday

But seriously, it’s neandertholic comments like this– the whole ‘boys will be boys’ attitude — that encourage this sort of behavior in the first place. And who pays the $200K? Everyone else thru higher rates.
Not so funny now, is it?
Matt, I apologize for the “neanderthal” comment… just remembering how funny the movie “Risky Business” was!
Matt, now you know why as an agent you want to know about any Vacant and or unsold dwellings.
This happened near where I live and the whole community is in an uproar over it. They said that the kids don’t feel an remorse for destrying this house.

The parents of these hooligans will, no doubt, try to sue the package store that sold the alchohol to underage minors.
No, Not a wus. Just not a criminal. So what you’re teaching your children is that it’s ok as long as you don’t get caught? nice.
The kids got busted, they should be prosecuted. As for teaching them to be criminial, few parents do that. You are taking it to an extreme. Teach your kids to do right and hope they do. If they don’t, there are consequences.
By the way, when you were a teen, did you ever take the car without having a license, have a few drinks when you weren’t legal, drink & drive… If you say no, you are a liar and, by your standards, a criminal.
How do you cause $200k worth of damage…what could they have possibly done that would add up to that amount?
Actually, I can say No, and I’m not a liar. I had more than respect for my parents. I feared the conseqences and so I didn’t do wrong. I’m lucky enough to say I was raised right. I hope that my good sense has passed to my kids. The whole “kids will be kids” mentality goes out the window when they start crossing into criminal behavior.

I say prosecute the little hoodlums.

Thanks for the Friday entertainment!
Sorry Franklin, Wrong again. You’re welcome for the entertainment. Thanks for reminding me how many ignorant people there are in the world.
that’s a load of crap! I grew up with guys like this and they called us wussies too but they spoiled it for all of us…you see, the real smart thing would have been to use the place, keep it clean and no one would be the wiser. Calling attention to yourself is what i expect from jackasses!
You are 100% right! They made a bad decision to do this. And they were stupid for getting caught. No argument here.
Ins Girl NY, I’m with you. Franklin must have grown up with liberal parents. Franklin, sorry but I never acted this way and I’m not lying. Now go back to your hole.
when i was growing up, a party causing $200k worth of damages meant i would have burned down mine AND my neighbor’s doublewide.
I guess they’ll print anything to try to keep our minds off of the Health Care fiasco…it isn’t working, though!!
OMG, Jdoe–lighten up!!
Talk about a sheltered life…maybe if you loosened up a bit and actually had any fun when you were a kid, you could see the other side of things.

NC Esq… now that was funny…
Wonder what it will cost to restore the White House for the next first family?

Where’s Rosie when you need her??????
There’s no indication they misbehaved during the Bush era. This all transpired on Obama’s watch. It was clearly change they could believe in.
Actually, it probably had less to do with the president and more to do with their guv’ner (you pick which one or ones) and his moral values.
Go ahead and blame President Obama. He doesn’t care because he just beat you people and got free healthcare passed. He is the best thing that ever happened to America and he won the Nobull Piece Prise too. Those teens didn’t get screwed up in only 12 months and you know it!!!
You’re absolutely right, Rosie. It took 13 months, not 12 (unless you count the two between when he was elected and when he took office.)
You can’t really blame the kids – a million dollar empty house just sitting like that – these kids were ENTICED to go in there. Redistribution of wealth is very popular (and acceptable) right now. We need to save our resources for prosecuting REAL crimes, like a stranger saying something over a WalMart intercom.
I’m having a hard time determining what are serious comments and what is sarcasm. The Obama Nobull prise was half and half. Which one is it??
it does not matter, kids should have not entered into this building. i bet it was locked and all. i am suprised that this individual did not have a security system, because i bet this had to be an expensive house to have $200k damage and it not be a total loss.

Global warming, healthcare, illegal aliens…your adherence to these tenets leads me to believe you’re on the lower side of the IQ scale.
Dave,
I appreciate your nice comments that Liberls are intellectuals with IQs above 76 celcius room tempertature. I do want to point out need to work on how you spell tempertature.
Huh? Are you criticizing proper spelling? Not sure how to respond to that. Have a great day, Rosie.
Tastes Great…
