A U.S. couple visiting Vancouver in early July told Global News they had an unwelcome arrival when they checked into their Airbnb in North Vancouver.
As the suitcases were heavy and it was late, the couple decided to put these smaller bags in the Airbnb and go back to their car to get the suitcases.
But when they went back into the house and couldn’t find their backpacks and smaller bags, they realized they had been robbed.
As Global's Kristen Robinson reports, the couple is criticizing the police for what they say was its inadequate response to the break-in.

That thief knows it's an airbnb...he knows the moment people arrive they leave the door unlocked, drop their luggage and go look around. Lock your doors people. Especially when it's not your door to begin with.

@kevwwong 12 дней назад

He came in through the unlocked back door though. That would going the extra mile on surveillance if he could spot that. I think there is more to this story. In the meantime, the next time I get an airbnb, I'll be checking all the doors and windows once I get inside.

@e-curb 14 дней назад

You'd have to be pretty dumb to think the RCMP haven't done all that. They will have still photos from the video above, and from whatever exists from the mall. Then they'll spread the photos around to all of the police depts in the Van area asking if any cops know who the perp is. Most likely, the guy has been arrested many times before, and a cop in one of the other depts will speak up with the guy's name. Then they issue a warrant for his arrest after checking out where he lives. Eventually, he'll get nicked.
