When stupid kids decided to break into a home, have a wild keg party and damage the property, they also took pictures of themselves in the crime scene and sent the photos of themselves out on Twitter, like the one above.
From News10 ABC
STEPHENTOWN, N.Y. – A vacant Rensselaer County home belonging to a former NFL star was trashed after police allege 300 teens broke in, converting the old farmhouse into a wild party house.
Former New England Patriots player Brian Holloway tells NEWS10 ABC he was in Florida on August 31st when he received word that his vacant Stephentown farmhouse was the scene of a large party.
Holloway says he received word of the party from his son, who saw notifications about the party on Twitter, getting tweets that a break-in was going on at the home including drugs, alcohol, and destruction of property.
The police were called to the scene, where they allegedly found the yard full of cars and around 300 teenaged people running from the home and barns on the property.

Investigators with the Rensselaer County Sheriff’s Office documented the damage finding walls spray painted, windows broken, floors scuffed by beer kegs and soaked with urine.
But Holloway says that isn’t even the worst of it. He says someone stole an eagle statue that was part of a memorial for his stillborn grandson and very important to his family.
Police say the statue may not be that hard to find, because the person – more specifically the young woman – who may have it posted a photo on social media. A photo on the unnamed female’s account shows her holding the eagle.

In fact, police say much of what happened at the party was shared in pictures and posts on social media.
Last weekend, 300 kids/students broke in and vandalized this residence that has been our home since 1981. They were drinking (underage), doing drugs, selling drugs and destroying property. It looks like there was over $20,000 in damage to the home, and we’ve yet to determine the cost of all the items that were stolen. The sheriff broke up the party; but not before all this damage was done; and hopefully we could get some help in getting in restoring the damage, I will get to that in a moment. But first, I’d like to have a family village conversation…MORE
