This used to be common back in the day. We never called the police. Tried to find out who did it, told their parents and they cleaned it up. If we couldn't find out who did it, we just cleaned up the mess and went on. Whoever did this must have been there for a while to do all that the report says.
Was there any permanent damage done to anything? It's called a prank, I'm guessing that a graduate or an athlete live there. Let the police handle real crimes, you know saving lives and arresting felons.
When my child was in school we got "TP'd' alot. The kids would find out and go get them back, it's called teenage fun. As long as no real damage is done. You big babies!
With the price of toilet paper nowadays?
Just a teenage prank? Really? i've had the TP'ed trees and that doesnt bother me so much...it sucks to clean up but it isnt to bad, but the same kid that used to TP my trees now does more dangerous things. I've had my tire slashed, my radio stolen and had a metal rod thrown through my window. All for his teenaged pranks.

So Toilet Papering is a gateway drug to tire slashing and stealing radio's?
Come on really?
My son-in law found that the end of a fire baton, is great to get the paper off trees. It comes with the territory when you work with older kids who are out to have a little fun at night. There are school employees who watch for the kids coming to raid their houses.
