CYA (cover your arse) in that the Mom could come back to you for withholding information regarding her minor-aged daughter being in the presence of illicit drugs and alcohol at your house. -Great point. I did end up telling her mother and she was thankful, as I would be because she wants to know what her daughter is doing. She was very disappointed and said that she's never done anything like this at their house when they go out of town but that is likely do to the fact that their neighbors know them well and would tell on her. She strikes me as a good mother and the girl strikes me as a good kid that made a bad decision. I wouldn't have told her mom if I thought the response would have been overboard. I think she will get a just punishment for what she did and she's out some $ because they are insisting that we not pay her.

We have done a cursory sweep of the house for valuables. All the big stuff is accounted for: TV's, Laptops, Instruments. I just need to make sure the smaller stuff is there.

I remember being at a party in High School when a guys parents were gone and people were smoking in their living room and one kid kept putting his cigarettes on the carpet and putting them out with his shoe. Ruined the carpet. Don't know if I ever saw that kid who had the party again. No joke.
