I would be very unhappy with anyone who brought drugs, drug paraphernalia, or any other contraband onto my property and even more so if they were careless enough to leave it behind.
The consequences could be devastating. To me.
It’s not that I care if people want to abuse their own bodies, that’s their business, and my personal opinion is that it ought to be legal.
But it’s not legal, and if they attract the attention of the police, my property could be seized and I might have to defend myself on a possession charge.
Not likely, but no one has the right to take that risk when I could be held responsible.
Suppose the host overlooked the contraband and another guest found it? Very embarrassing.
Besides that, any criminal activity is a serious violation of Airbnb policy, and the guest should pay the price for that.
I have have had to deal with this twice. The first time some moron left marijuana and a bong in the open on a bookshelf and had the nerve to ask me to mail it to him.
Too late. I had already destroyed the evidence. I informed him that he would be shot on sight if he ever came around my house again.
The second time was really disturbing. Some scumbag was dealing pharmaceutical amphetamines internationally by mail and used my address as a return address. One of the packages came back unclaimed.
I nearly lost control of my sphincter when I opened the package. I had to make a quick decision and decided that if the DEA was tracking the package I would already be lying face down in the road, so I built a hot fire in my burn barrel and incinerated it.
I wouldn’t get the police involved for a number of reasons.
You can’t prove who actually owns the contraband and if the offender has any sense he will deny it.
Sure, his fingerprints are all over it but so are yours, and you’re the one holding the bag.
Drug possession is a strict liability crime, both state and federal. The judge doesn’t care why you have it or where you got it. You’re guilty.
In addition, I don’t want to have my place identified as a druggy hangout.
Finally, it just pisses me off to be subjected to interrogation by obnoxious cops, and I’m not good at concealing my contempt.
So how to review this ignoramos?
Carefully.
I wouldn’t mention illegal activities or drugs. Possibly “Guest was unforgivably careless with host’s property. Would not host again under any circumstances.”
And I would most definitely click the “would not host again button.”
It might be tempting to report him to Airbnb but it wouldn’t have the least effect on him.
