The Michigan teenager simply invited a couple of friends over to play pool at his families million dollar Farmington hills home, then left them to join his parents for Memorial Day at a cottage near Fenton, Michigan.

But by the time the firefighters had arrived the next morning, a wrecking crew of his fellow teens had fled, leaving behind a million dollar mess.

Mom..Dad, (gulp) the house isn't quite the same as you left it!!

Apparently the pool shooting teens had big plans.

I wonder if those plans included prison.

Sort of like Risky Business.

Or the local juvenile detension facility until they are 21.

I certainly hope the parents' insurance company cancels their policy. This is just plain negligence. Could be that the folks wanted to remodel anyway.

Mistakes were made.

Since when do parents trust their home to a teen? And where were the neighbors? I heard on TV that Dean Martin ended his kids' party by going upstairs at 10 PM and phoning in a complaint to the police. "Those Martin kids are having a noisy party." That ended the party. He slept well.

At least the kid could have stayed to enjoy the party..what a doofus!

Or the insurance company may not honor the claim at all, is that possible?

A very young Tom Cruise before he became a star in Top Gun. I believe the woman opposite him is Rebecca de Mornay, if I'm not mistaken.

Good idea! You would think the cops would catch on after a while..LOL

[goldstategop]

Rebecca de Mornay alright. I just watched Vanilla Sky and I was blown away by some of the stunts. It looked like a homage to those European surrealist movies and some of the scenes seemed to be right out of the 60s. And there's that Paul McCartney song that's also the title of the movie. Of course it just won't have worked without the eye candy of Penelope Cruz and Cameron Diaz.

[codebreaker]

Yes, she was many a young mans fantasy back then 'Rebecca De Hornay..'

She's probably raising a family now, although I did see Diane Lane (from the same era) in a few new movies, she is quite a middle aged babe now

Now that is a heck of party. All I had to deal with was explaining the presence of 150 red beer cups in the garbage... I thought I had thought of everything... Dang.

[goldstategop]

Uh huh. Every era will have its own share of recognizable babes. As long as they can act, who cares about their politics... ;-)

Cameron Diaz was really good in that movie she is supposed to be great in 'Gangs of New York' with Scorcese.

One thing from Vanilla Sky, were we supposed to think that Pelelope Cruz was some sort of prize catch for Cruise lead character? Ask 9 out of 10 guys and they would take Ms. Diaz in a heartbeat.

Good grief. Yes, the well known insurance-fraud through teenager-kegger scam. I guess you got 'em!

[codebreaker]

The kids reaction when he found out what happened..

[codebreaker]

I've dealt with some of these insurance companies before, they very well might not honor the claim..
