Semi-invisible party, 8/10/11 Police responded to an alleged loud party on Hardie Drive around 9:00 p.m. Officers checked the interior and exterior with permission and surprisingly all the party goers had fled. Oddly enough, alcoholic beverages were found, and what appeared to be the remains of a planned fiesta - the homeowners were out of town at the time. A source reported that the family's daughter was safe and back with a responsible adult. Booze was poured out and a relative ended up staying at the house that night.
