Hello @Stuart26
Your place looks stunning.
Unfortunately there are some unethical guests who will steal from a listing even where items are hard to find.
I would consider having a locked cupboard or similar for valuable items/alcohol, if you want to leave them in a whole listing.
Under the Airbnb guarantee it actual says you should contact the guest first about damage/missing items and only make a claim through the Resolution Centre if you and the guest can't come to an agreement.
Unfortunately you didn't do this.
Having said that it was completely inappropriate for the guest to verbally abuse you and why on earth would he want to meet to discuss his theft?
I can't see why you wouldn't want to purse a claim in these circumstances. If you don't you are letting this bully get away with stealing from you and are letting him know if he bullies people he will get away with bad behaviour.
Please leave an honest review, with three stars and a thumbs down so this guest can't IB with future hosts.
Block him on Airbnb and your phone so that he can't verbally abuse you going forward.
