They were searching for evidence of talent or something.
Okay, that part I made up, but the raid part is true. Something about a burglary ring.

(23,720 posts)I heard his neighbors phone call this morning and yes, throwing eggs at a house is a dickish thing to do (can't imagine 20 in damages). However, the neighbor's behavior was just as bad. The neighbor kept (pardon the pun) egging him on daring him and calling him names.

(4,788 posts)but it seems that the house Beiber egged had some type of stucco on the outside that had to be replaced instead of just washed off. Really, what a no-talent looser.
Atman
(31,464 posts)Stucco that got irreparably damaged by EGGS? Seriously? The whole purpose of stucco is to be tough against the elements, so a dozen eggs bring the whole thing down?
Or maybe a neighbor who knew the kid has some deep pockets. Hmm.

(9,474 posts)Real venetian paster is expensive, beautiful, and has to be applied by an artisian. The protein in the eggs would have eaten into the plaster, kind of like throwing acid on a person. According to the neighbor, the entire front finish of his house is going to have to be replaced. Depending on the size of the house, it could be way more than $20,000.
I watched the presser by the cops. It was a felony because of the amount of the damage, and the judge issued a search warrent. They also found drugs (probablly cocaine) in the house, but arrested someone else for possession. IIRC, Beiber can also be charged since it was in his home, but he hasn't been (yet, anyway).
If he were anybody else, he'd probably be in jail. I hope they throw the book at him and send his useless punk ass back to Canada.

If not for his bodyguards, he would've already had a well deserved ass kicking.

(31,464 posts)Now reporting a table full of cocaine at the Beib's house...but no arrest, because they didn't think it was really his.
Really.
Don't want to interrupt the next concert tour with some messy jail time. Obviously a stranger dropped by and put the coke on The Beib's coffee table.

(25,241 posts)a dozen eggs were found in the Bieb's refrigerator. (sarcasm)
Come on now. How could eggs do $20,000 to $30,000 damage? How many eggs would they have to throw at this house to do that much damage?
Crispy's GWBgate is characterized as a prank by the Guv's people.
Egging a house warrants a raid?
What am I missing here?

(1,991 posts)was a specialized stucco, it can't be just pressure washed, the eggs left an un-removable stain, so all the stucco has to be replaced.
The point is that this little wanna be thug punk shouldn't have even engaged in such juvenile hijinks.
He's probably going to be charged with felony destruction of private property and I say, about fucking time.

(31,464 posts)A "specialized stucco" that couldn't withstand an egg? I don't believe it for a minute.

http://www.contactmusic.com/story/justin-bieber-costs-egged-neighbour-20k_4023682
Justin Bieber has allegedly cost his neighbour $20,000.
The 19-year-old singer was accused of throwing at least 20 eggs at another property in his gated community in Calabasas, California, last week and it has now emerged his naughty antics may have cost his fellow resident a large sum in damages.
According to TMZ, Justin's neighbour will need to replaster the entire front of his house and the sum is expected to be higher than the $400 that was originally anticipated.
Due to the costly nature of the Venetian plaster, the job will cost the owner a staggering $15,000 and an extra $5,000 will need to be paid out to re-stain the doors.
Any damage over $400.00 constitutes a felony charge.

(26,324 posts)The degenerate punk who lived next door to us when I was a kid egged our house and got caught red-handed. His douche bag republican father didn't even offer an apology or clean up or discipline the kid - basically told my dad to pound sand.
Mysteriously, their car got about 2 dozen eggs applied to the windshield. Some of the eggs splashed on the aluminum garage door and stained the shit out of it. I think those stains are still on that door - the kid died a drifter (in and out of jail) and years later my dad found the father dead on his kitchen floor, coincidentally, when some guys doing some work on his garage came and got my dad when he wouldn't answer his door for payment.

(23,973 posts)After being pressure washed the whole side of the house needed to be re-painted as the paint was ruined where the eggs had eaten the finish.
The insurance companies went after the parents of the little angels that did it, cost them $2500.00.
I could see twenty grand for damage to a specialized finish.

(25,241 posts)The Beib's probably carries around pocket change to pay for any damages - be it $20 or $30 thousand.
There's got to be more to this story than just an egging of a house. Who's house was it? Was it somebody famous that has it in for the Beib's?
Why couldn't this be settled in a less dramatic way?
Don't the police have more important things to do than look for evidence of eggs on the premises?
This IMHO ranks up there with one of the most absurd uses of police that I've ever heard.
I'm sure the Repugs will defend the Beib's and this prank.
Ranchemp.
(1,991 posts)or even an apology to the homeowner and his 13 yo daughter who was in terror of this little punk.
I hope the DA throws the book at him, it's about time he answers for his criminal actions.

Marr
(20,317 posts)He seems to be on the MC Hammer path-- greatly overestimating his staying power and wealth. He's the type of entertainer who wakes up to find themselves without an audience one day, as their fans have outgrown them.
I heard he released his new album in Australia and sold 4,000 copies. Four thousand. And his recent concert movie was an enormous bomb. I think most of his audience has already outgrown him, really-- and the stragglers won't take long to follow.
