Apparently it's a new trend among criminals, who look for Airbnb rentals that have descriptions suggesting that valuables are stored on entire property rentals. They book the place, then cancel before arriving, then burglarize the place.
THis seems to be a risk primarily to those renting out entire homes,,,, I would advocate hosts not leaving any valuables in a home when they rent it...criminals will always look for opportunities and unfortunately, leaving valuables in your home when you aren't there and have advertised loud and clear that no one will be there, is a dangerous invitation to criminals.
