If you’re an Airbnb host, you’ll have to be warier about choosing your tenants wisely. You never know what they can do to your place.
According to a Facebook post by Joe Eu, a group of guests who stayed at his place on 10 January damaged and stole everything in his house!
“There were a total of six guests (five males and one female) who entered my house on 10 January, between 3.47pm to 3am.” he writes.
In his post, Joe uploaded a lot of photos as well as CCTV footage to show how badly his house was trashed by the group of guests.
Joe Eu also stated that his estimated loss from this incident is RM6,000 as they have stolen numerous valuable items from the house such as a 42-inch Philips LED TV, a Sony PlayStation4 with 2 controllers, a PlayStation4 charging dock, a Midea Air Cooler, a vacuum, a Philips DVD player, a Lenovo Laptop, a JBL Go Speaker and more.
He also attached his Airbnb link so that people can compare how his house looked before it was damaged as compared to after it was trashed. He then shared all the information he knew about the guests on his Facebook post in an attempt to alert the public and other Airbnb hosts.
UPDATE: Culprits Found
On 15 January, Joe Eu published another Facebook post stating that all the suspects have been identified.
“The purpose of finding them is to identify them for their actions and alert friends, colleagues, employers, and family,” said Joe in the post.
However in an update that was posted later on, one of the culprit’s siblings asked the public to not post anything about their family members as they are currently cooperating with the investigation and they do not know the whereabouts of the culprits at the given time.
