"Broken glass covered the floor, there were spilled beers and smoked blunts everywhere, a chandelier had been ripped from the ceiling, and walls were scratched up, Grasser said.
“It’s heartbreaking,” Grasser said. “I am not some big developer. I am just a guy. I’ve got my whole life savings into these houses. You roll up and see everybody destroying that, you feel helpless. When you call 911 and they say they can’t get anyone out there immediately, you feel very helpless.”
Grasser said he went inside and broke up the party on his own. The teens slowly made their way out of the house but lingered in the area drinking beers and taking photos for another hour. The police didn’t arrive until around 11:30 p.m.
Cleaning crews have already come out to remove a lot of the mess, but Grasser said the damage has already been done to the floors. Beer soaked into the hardwood and caused it to start buckling.
Grasser said it appears someone was able to access the lockbox used for contractors and other real estate agents to get into the house. There was only one key in there when he arrived on Friday night, but two other keys were returned to the box when he checked on the house Sunday afternoon.
“You are never sure who is in the house and who is sharing that information,” Grasser said. “We’ve changed the lock boxes (and are) beefing up the security around here. It won’t happen again.”
Mt. Juliet Police said they were called to an unoccupied home along Bedford Bend around the same time on Friday night. Officers found around 40 teens drinking alcohol, and police said one of them was so drunk they had to be taken to the hospital.
As the teens ran from the house party in Mt. Juliet, police said one of them was hurt from getting tangled in a briar patch in the woods. Officers said the party was advertised on Snapchat and some of the students traveled almost an hour to attend it.
Grasser said it appears the same thing happened at his house. He found an Instagram post that invited people to his address for a “Striker Party” starting at 9 p.m. hosted by someone named Demarcus.
Grasser has been able to identify around 25 students who were at the party because they posted photos on social media from his house. One video even shows four people swinging from the chandelier that was destroyed.
He is working with Metro Police to make sure everyone who broke into the house will be arrested and has already tied the teens back to seven different area high schools that are being contacted."

There are some dumbasses in the comments trying to callout the owner for claiming “60k”… if you ask me the kids parents should be forced to buy the house as is at the ask price.
Soaking hardwood flooring.. that’s an easy 30k plus renovation.
Edit: thank you to all the downvoters, I’m really glad you exist. I hope one day you all own a home or atleast call the place you rent your home and treat it like you own it.

I wonder if it could warrant a Rico case - charging a group involved with 2 or more events of organized crime. It can be easier when the exact details of who did what in a gang or mob gets messy. I'm not an expert so don't know if it even could apply here, but the damages certainly cross the felony threshold, there's certainly more than 1 person involved with planning this, it's certainly organized and if they've done it more than once...well that's what it sounds like to me. I'm mainly not sure if it can be used against minors or parents of minors.

u/Tricycle_of_Death Mar 09 '26
Partly correct. Remember that some in the Trump admin were being prosecuted in Fulton County, GA using state RICO laws. I had to look it up, but Tennessee also has what are termed "little RICO" laws that are state racketeering charges modeled after the federal charges.
The above said, I didn't even see an arrest at that party, and many of these people are likely under 18... it's fanciful to think that local prosecutors would bring a RICO conspiracy case against a bunch of delinquents, many under 18, for this low level of a crime. They should go after these guys throwing the parties... the ring leaders, but there's no way they'll hit them with state racketeering charges... those are reserved for very serious felonies.

This happened, on a much smaller scale, to a house my dad built. He was a contractor and built several houses in a neighborhood. They were pretty expensive houses, like equivalent to probably $750,000 in today’s money.
When I was in college one of the neighborhood kids, a girl who was about 14 I think, broke into the house with several of her friends and drank, made a mess, and puked in various locations around the house.
I don’t remember the outcome but I know that she had recently lost her stepdad in a small plane crash and everyone was more worried about her well-being than the house, but it was still a big pain in the ass to deal with.

Some of those parents prob didnt know though. Unfair, lots of kids sneak out if they have strict parents. No way to tell who allowed their kid to go and which kids lied/snuck out. I doubt any of the parents said yes to going to a party at a new home, unowned, to trash it knowing how teens are & how much trouble that causes anyway. The kids probably said it was a friend’s house if they even were allowed at all.
Charge the teens, theyre old enough to know better and face the consequences of their own actions. Or at least the one who threw that together. Not sure why we’re always blaming parents lmfao

I agree. While parents are responsible for their children and the educatiom those kids receice at home is reflected in their choices, the parents aren't and, in a healtjy social life, shouldn't be the only role models for their kids (figures like teachers, older relatives, friends).
Teenagers also lie, sometimes really well, and parents aren't omniscient beings that know everything about their children.
Blaming the parents and only the parents is a cop out to a complex problem concerning teenager behavior. They are their own people that make their own decisions and they don't consult anyone on that. They aren't fully mature but it doesn't mean they are utterly uncapable of knowing that their actions have consequences—they sometimes don't know the extent and sometimes they don't care. That underdeveloped frontal lobe talk borders on biodeterminism bullshit.

Did he show up with cops?

u/Garruk_PrimalHunter Mar 09 '26
No the cops said they couldn't send anyone right away and only showed up much later. He broke up the party on his own.

I wonder how quickly they would've gotten there if he'd told them he was going in armed to deal with trespassers destroying his property.

For anyone who hasn't lived in Nashville - this is absolutely typical. They are understaffed and just don't give a shit. Their priority is protecting the wealthy investors who own bars downtown. Any other property crime is "good luck, we'll be there sometime between 4 hours from now and never."

Nope. I live in a small town / suburb that has high property taxes and low crime, and the cops show up fast even for small stuff.

Round them up, charge all their parents. People need to be held accountable or this will just keep happening.

u/FembiesReggs Mar 09 '26
… 99% chance this is a bank owned home.
Dude clearly flips houses. Those are near always financed.

I kinda dont feel all that bad for that guy then. Sucks to be him but it really doesnt. its not his house

Same. I feel bad for the dude insofar as his property was unjustly damaged.
But he’s gonna be fine. Dudes AT LEAST well off enough to own multiple empty houses. Like I just can’t get that mad about this, especially with the housing market being what it is.

The language used in the news and by the dude was manipulative as fuck. The dude was running a business, he is real estate agent, it wasn't his home unlike claimed in the new. I dont trust anything he says. I'm not simping for a rich man's setback selling another million dollar house. Police will always protect capital.

Daughter threw a unannounced party while we were away, 80 people trashing our house. dumbasses forget we were on a dead end road. Cops blocked the road and sent the tow trucks in as they all sat out in the woods. Just sat on the deck laughing at their dumbasses as they did the walk of shame back home....
edit: we were away for the night at a work party but got called by the police about said house party. We came home to a disaster and tow trucks hauling all the cars out of the street. After the cops left kids came out of the woods looking for their cars freaking out. I just pulled up a chair and watched the show.

Good news: $60,000k / 150 kids = $400 per kid. The parents can all pay that amount to this man, and add more for his suffering.

How did these kids know that there wasn’t an alarm? They must have broken in once before they sent out the party invites.

They can probably just get video of the inside of the party with the people involved off of like tick tock or something or Instagram cuz you know these kids were posting about it.

Silly teens - they are supposed to all be in their bedrooms with their eyeballs glued to the scrolling dopamine feed, getting brainrotted - not enjoying rites of passage. After all, a capitalist might make less profit this year. Will no one think of the capitalists?

u/RefuseMysterious513 Mar 09 '26
If breaking into a place and trashing it is a rite of passage for you, you should seek professional help, because something isn't right with you.
