Texas ‘Mansion Rager’: Teens Break Into Austin Home to Party

Hundreds of teens descended and broke into an Austin, Texas home for an event promoted on social media as a "Mansion Rager," which was done without the homeowners knowing it.

The homeowner told Fox 7 Austin that some of their neighbors called last Saturday and told them there were kids on their property's water tower, "there were cars up and down the street, and kids were hopping over the front of our fence."

When he arrived home, the homeowner said he saw "car, after car, after car just trying to flee the scene." He noted that this was when he found a flyer for the "Mansion Rager" event with his address in it.

The homeowner later said the event circulated on Snapchat, which made its way into the hands of high schoolers across the area, but he did not invite anyone into his home that night.

When the partygoers left their home, the homeowner told the outlet that he was horrified to find that their home's "gate out front was broken, so was the garage, all the lights were on, and the front door was wide open."

"I mean, it was just an unbelievable total violation of one's privacy... They had beer cans, the seltzer cans, like White Claw. I saw they had thrown like avocados at the wall. There was damage to sheetrock and baseboards," he noted.

He added that the teens had thrown tools through the sheetrock in their garage and had his daughter's toys scattered around the property. He also said he found several articles of clothing left behind by the partygoers, which showed that they came from not just one school but attended schools from all over the Great Austin Area.

The homeowner even identified some of the schools these kids belonged to, including West Lake High, Vandegrift, Lake Travis, and Bowie. Fox News has shown several images from the party's aftermath, including a destroyed TV.

The outlet also spoke with the Travis County Sheriff's Office, which is investigating the incident. The sheriff's office noted that the investigation is still ongoing and that there are still no updates yet.

The homeowner further noted that the arm of his gate was sheared off, and a car might have been used to open it for the kids to gain access to the property. He estimated the damage to his property to be thousands of dollars.

Neighbor Says People Need to be Held Accountable

As for his neighbors, one of them, Karen Lear, spoke with local ABC News affiliate KVUE and said she was "disappointed" and "disgusted" by what had happened.

"It's important for students as well as parents to recognize we need to be truthtellers right now and we need to be honest, and people need to be held accountable with consequences or it's just going to happen again," Lear said.

Lear urged people to come out and tell the authorities any information regarding the party and its organizers.
