[quote=njtosd][quote=svelte][quote=njtosd]… Many brought in alcohol, and ransacked our house while my daughter and her friends were completely helpless and defenseless. …[/quote]

I must have missed the part where the uninvited guests also stole their daughter’s cell phone so she couldn’t call 911, and blocked her path to the neighbor’s house so she couldn’t get help next door.

Don’t doubt there were uninvited guests. Do doubt the amount of resistance that was put up.

And if it had happened to several other neighbors before, why hadn’t they talked to their kids about the appropriate response should it happen to them?[/quote]

No one said they didn’t call 911, nor do I have any info about how long it took police to get there. My guess is that it was not very fast. I personally had not heard of anything like this before.[/quote]

What city was this in?

If someone calls 911 stating intruders are ransacking their house and the police don’t arrive in under 5 minutes, then you need to have a talk with your local police department and hit all the news stations with the story.
