An unidentified homeowner in Tega Cay, S.C was away on vacation with his family while a group of teenagers allegedly trespassed into his house and threw a party. However, when he returned, his house was exactly the way he had left it with no trace of a trespass. According to the homeowner, the teenagers cleaned up after themselves, and the family saw no signs to alert them of a break in … Well at least until the teens posted photos of them partying at the homeowners house on Facebook. According to the homeowner, the teenagers were allegedly “running around doing lewd things with funnels, throwing up in the sink, passed out on the kitchen floor.”
