Hundreds of teenagers reportedly partied in a vacant mansion in Northwest Austin while the homeowner and his family were at a friend’s house earlier in February.
“We started receiving numerous phone calls from our neighbors that there were kids on our water tower on our property, there were cars up and down the street, and kids were hopping over the front of our fence,” the unnamed homeowner said, Fox 7 Austin reported Feb. 15.

“When I came into the neighborhood there were just car, after car, after car just trying to flee the scene,” the homeowner added, according to the outlet. “It was horrifying. I mean, it was just unbelievable total violation of one’s privacy.”
The homeowner found the front gate and garage were both broken when he pulled up to his property. The lights were on, and the front door was open, the outlet reported.
“They had beer cans, the seltzer cans, like White Claw, and I saw they had thrown, like, avocados at the wall … there was damage to sheetrock and baseboards. They had thrown tools through the sheetrock in our garage. They had my daughter’s toys scattered around the property,” the homeowner told Fox 7.
The homeowner reportedly later saw a flyer advertising a “Mansion Rager” that had been circulating on Snapchat, but he had not invited anybody to his home and is unsure who was behind the party.
