A group of around 200 partiers broke into an $8million Florida home and turned the foyer into a boxing ring before fleeing from police.
The Walton County Sheriff's Office was called by security to a house in Watercolor for a 'noise complaint' on Saturday after a large group of rowdy partiers broke in and damaged the property.
A flyer was allegedly passed around for a week on Snapchat, announcing the break-in, which the Sheriff's Office said in its post: 'Yes, we know about that too.'
'This had been advertised for an entire week, so that's going to be apart of our process is how they knew the house would be empty and where that information came from,' Walton County Public Information Officer Corey Dobridnia told WJHG.
Once officers arrived at the five-bedroom, eight-bathroom home, the group fled and was seen on Snapchat exiting the house through the backdoors.
Partiers can be seen fleeing around the inground pool into the backyard as the front doors open.
One man can be heard nervously saying: 'What the f**k,' while another yelled at others: 'We got to go, we got to go!'
Snapchat videos and photos were posted to the Sheriff's Office's Facebook page, showing a young man trying on championship rings and what appears to be a group of teenagers posting for a large group shot, as well as two young men lounging in the home theater.
Other videos show teens screaming song lyrics and nodding their heads and jumping to a beat with the Snapchat location filter for Seaside, Florida, prepositioned over the shot.
Another video shows two men violently throwing punches at each other in a makeshift boxing match as a crowd cheers them on and videotapes the whole thing.

Would this happen in Polk County?
All the cops were outside of Florida before this?
are rich people just inherently stupid or does their money make them so....
Looked like a diverse group. Kids nowadays.
Maybe they just don’t know their neighbors? Or they have a security system, but whoever knew the place would be empty might’ve also been able to turn the security system off. An 8M dollar mansion surely has one of those.
Have spent lots of time in FABULOUS Seaside, Florida, and have never seen so many THUGS there!!
That’s what I was thinking too! Whoever lived there had four or five “championship rings”. Not sure what sport. I wonder if he still has them?
Yes, we know about that too.’
So maybe post a deputy or something? Just for the night?
WTH...
Sounds very suspicious to me. The house was up for sale?
Someone violated the first rule of Fight Club.
Really? I’ve visited there a few times and never noticed. I mainly just went to Seaside to walk around and just drove through Watercolor. Not long enough to observe anything I guess.
Total fail on the homeowners. Who the heck has an 8 million home without a security system that does not instantly alert via email or text when there is activity inside the home and you are gone?
It is not “stupid.” But it is “insulated.”
8 million dollar mansion is in a great neighborhood and they likely felt very secure living in their bubble.
House is up for sale and that makes me question why would any valuables be left out and visible?
And they didn’t or do not know their neighbors? Hard to believe in a community like that. Neighbor notifications, police notification etc. before leaving.
Other option that is getting very popular in my business niche is to hire house sitters. People who are background checked to come ‘live’ at your house while you are out of town. I rolled up on a client house a few years ago to a party taking place. I was there to care for the dog. Called the police and called the owner. Poor dog was his crate, pooped the create from stress, etc. Police cleared the house, here it was the son of the owner. The son was supposed to be with the mother for the 2 weeks.
Must have been ‘a coup’, huh?
If they knew about it, why weren’t they waiting there for them instead of letting them get that far along and damage the property?
I suppose these days, we should be glad they showed up at all.
so that’s going to be apart of our process
****
Huh???
Seaside is an unincorporated planned community in the Florida panhandle developed along “new urbanism” principles. Or, more bluntly, it is a wealthy settlement dominated by big vacation homes packed together on small lots with minimal yards — and the kind of place where neighbors are often absent or simply do not know each other and the new urbanist principle of putting high traffic commercial activity close to residential areas can made it hard to recognize suspicious conduct. Local miscreants no doubt see the area as a venue for fun, mischief, and profit at the expense of out of town rich people. A developer friend of mine refers to new urbanist projects as “slums of the future.”
Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl rings you can see the blue star 5 would be the right number - I have the same set, bought them on ebay for $30.
