Police locate missing safe stolen during house party | Metro

A Saanich family?s safe missing since an out-of-control house party that spread like wildfire over Facebook has been located ? on their rooftop.

The safe was reported missing May 12, but was suspected to have been the result of a Broadmead-area house party held earlier this month on May 5 when the family?s teenage resident decided to host a party while her parents were out of town.

She posted the details on Facebook, which was then passed around through social media, and attracted more than 70 guests ? mostly uninvited ? to the party.

The scene was ?chaotic?, with ?typical fights and liquor violations?, Saanich police told the Vancouver Sun.

Items noted missing right after partiers left the scene, include a laptop and other small items. The laptop was immediately located when an officer monitoring a nearby bus stop found an unclaimed bag.

It wasn?t until the girl?s parents came home a week later that they realized a safe ? containing thousands of dollars in cash, some personal checks and a coin collection ? kept in a locked cabinet in their room was gone.

The safe was finally found after the homeowner noticed that a screen had been removed from the upstairs bathroom window. There it was, sitting on their rooftop.

Attempts had been made to force open the safe with a rock, according to police, but the would-be thieves likely fled when police crashed the party.

Police are warning parents to discuss the issues with advertising parties on social media sites and to ensure their home and children are supervised while they?re away.
