I am wondering how it's possible that people rent out their home, while leaving $60,000 of their valuables in it, merely locked in a cabinet?
What are people thinking?
Airbnb removed the guest...so now do you think this solves the problem? WHen the guest used hacked accounts, fake ID and hacked credit card???

What are people thinking?The items that were stolen from the cabinet in their garage included purses, camera and computer equipment, jewelry, personal documents and cash.
Fan said the thieves also stole their mail and filled out credit card applications.
When Fan and his wife filled out a police report, he said officers weren’t surprised to see the extensive damage.
“It’s confirmed. This is a professional criminal ring. They're using hacked accounts and hacked credit cards and taking advantage of welcoming hosts,” Fan said.
Fan said he wants others to learn from his experience. He advises other renters to remove valuables from their home and to meet potential renters in person. In addition, he encourages renters to save receipts from all items in the event that something is stolen.
Airbnb officials told KTLA they have no tolerance for this type of behavior and have banned the guest allegedly responsible for the mess at Fan's home.
