If you had been told that whilst a friend had been away there house had been used for a party (read into that what you want and you will probably be right) Should I tell them ??

Yes. Whoever they trusted not to hold a party abused that trust - they should know as much.

No, just drop a subtle hint not to use the fruit.
Or was it not that sort of party?

Think a hint about changing the sheets might be more appropriate ..

What would you think if someone used your house for a party whilst you where away? And what would you think if a friend knew & didn't tell you? Not sure I see the dilemma.
Do you know it HAS been used and by whom. If so I would want to know if it was my house

How did they get in? I am lost with the connection, is it the son of the house owner who had the party?

Oh, to be that young again and looking for a nice place to spend some special time with my latest girlfriend,[ vague memories ]
As long as its not on facebook or email and a gang wrecks the house no big deal IMO.
But just not in my hoose please. :blah:

I threw a party in my parents house when they were on holiday when I was young and got found out, you normally always do. If the owners can't tell then they obviously did a good job in clearing up afterwards so no harm done.
if he finds out later...and he prob will...then finds out YOU KNEW and didnt tell him.....

..and so you say nothing to your friend and in a few months time in a different context your friend mentions to in passing that he/she has suspicions that something had gone on while they were away - stuff a bit out of place - a couple of things missing - something quite valuable as well... He doesn't ask you if you knew anything - just mentions it in passing. You keep schtum? And if you don't and say that yes you knew but didn't say anything as you thought everything had been OK and that he wouldn't notice - oh dear...
It's not your problem - but by not saying anything you create one for yourself that you will guiltily carry around until you eventually feel you have to come clean over what you know. Every time you meet the friend between now and that day, this incident will be at the forefront of your mind.

Tell him, no dilemma, just a basic right and wrong IMO.
A former work colleague spent a fortune and loads of his time doing up an old farmhouse.
When he finished he took a weeks holiday and left the house with his 16 and 18 year old daughters. Home alone for the first time.
The two divvies put a party up on facebook, hundreds turned up and the house was virtually wrecked. The girls ended up locking themselves in a bathroom for their own safety. The farmhouse was in an isolated spot and the 'party goers' ripped out the land line.
Police eventually got there but by then it was 4am.

Call me a fortune teller but that set up just screams one thing at me PARTYYYYYYYY!!! Bit surprised the parents could not see that one coming. As the kids could not have been the sharpest tools in the box if they are advertising it on Facebook.
I thought those types of stories of Facebook parties were just made up by the Daily Mail to scare parents into not leaving their children alone when they go on holiday, I had no idea they were actually true.

They promised the parents they would look after the house.
They were part fools part victims, contacted a few friends and the few friends contacted a few more friends etc etc.
They really did wreck the place, graffitti on the walls, poo, pee and sick all over the place. Lots of stuff stolen.

Maybe - but only you carry your own conscience around, and only you have to deal with it. Divest yourself of this dilemma and do not let it become a matter of conscience that can hang heavily with you - and will do so the longer you carry it.

If the house is clean and tidy when you return that's a sure sign they've had a rave up!
