Airbnb renters booked upscale D.C. home and stole from it, police say
A property manager recently found a home in Northwest Washington ransacked and items stolen after a group of people rented it through the online site. By Dana Hedgpeth Dana Hedgpeth Reporter covering local breaking news Email Bio Follow April 11 at 9:37 AM D.C. Police are looking for Airbnb renters who stole items and broke furniture while staying at an upscale Northwest Washington home last month, authorities said.
She said they went through the normal procedures of renting it on Airbnb’s website and she received a notification the home had been rented. Typically, she said she gives guests a tour, but these guests “adamantly refused a tour” and said they were “anti-social.” In one call, they also asked her about staying a bit past the 11 a.m. checkout time on March 11, saying they were tired after staying up all night playing cards. And they told her, “the house is so beautiful. Thank you so much,” she said.[Couple hoping to identify Airbnb guests who stole TVs, toiletries in viral video]
The renters also broke a mirror, dining room chairs and other furniture, and rummaged through mail, presumably looking for credit card and other personal information, Borodkin said. She said they also used an Amazon account linked to the home’s electronics to order sportswear that was allegedly sent to an address in Northeast Washington.Borodkin said the home, a nonsmoking property, smelled heavily of smoke.
