The big news over the weekend was a local teen throwing a crazy party while his parents were away for the week. I know, this happens every weekend in every country, but this story is unique. The party drew 500 people. Needless to say, the party was not contained to just the suburban neighborhood home. Kids were all over the streets and his neighbors' properties were damaged. The "riot" drew the full Melbourne police force including the k-9 unit and the aerial squad. When all was said and done, the unapologetic host had cost the city about $20,000 in emergency services. He's refused to speak to his parents although he's not had a problem speaking to the media. Here are a couple of youtube videos with Australia's "A Current Affair". They're priceless.

Notice the field reporter swatting away the flies. Read "Melbourne 101" for more details.
The story has gotten much coverage so you should be able to find a similar write-up on CNN.com or other national outlets.
