An awful situation....If a guest brought strangers into my home at 2.30 in the morning i would tell them to leave? @Tony2066 

 

1. I am a homeshare hosts and never leave expensive items out in public areas of my home

 

2. make a police report 

 

3. follow Airbnb's process for making a claim under the host guarantee

 

4. Get home insurance for short term lets
