Couple Finds Hidden Camera Behind Clock In A Canadian Airbnb

WAXE: Staying in an Airbnb gives you perks that you wouldn’t have in a hotel – you get to live like you’re at home, you get a lot more space, and you can live more like a local – but there are also some risks with staying in someone else’s house – it might be dirty, it might not have essentials stocked that you might need, or, in the case of one Scottish couple, it might have hidden cameras invading your privacy.

Dougie Hamilton posted on Facebook about what happened to him at an Airbnb in Toronto, and it is nightmarish. He explained how the week before, he watched a video on social media about how small cameras are these days and that they can be put in everyday objects and used to spy on people. Then, one morning at the Airbnb, he found himself staring at a clock facing the bedroom and wondered to himself if there might be a camera in it.

He wrote it off as paranoia, but it kept eating at him until he finally examined the clock. He unplugged it, slid the front face off and found out he was right, there was a camera in it.   more here

  2. I can’t grasp the concept of staying in someone’s home (apartment), often with them there too, in a set-up that isn’t like a standard B&B. I don’t even like staying with my own family when I visit them. Give me a clean standard hotel room and my own space any day. And there is no way I’d rent my home for any amount of money. Hardly seems shocking this happened given the lunatics in the world today.

  11. As I type this, I’m in a room I booked through airbnb for the next two nights. In this case, $28 bucks a night at a nice house in a secure neighborhood with full amenities beats $85 or more at a hotel. Most hotels now are shit with people living long term and running drugs and prostitutes out of them, work crews up all night drinking and being loud. I’ve seen it too many times in bigger cities. The hotel experience is nothing like it used to be when you were on a family vacation as a kid, at least how remember it. I travel with my job and began using airbnb last year in Southern California. It saved me a ton of money the 5 months I was there. Stayed with a great family and met some interesting people. We booked a couple rooms for a group trip to Switzerland last year (Geneva and Zermatt) another time rented a nice farm house for a couple nights in lower Alabama for our 30 year anniversary. Hopefully there’s no videos out there of me and my wife. I know people back home who have 4-5 bedroom homes, their kids are all grown and gone, and they rent to college kids. I can also sympathize with those who don’t like having lodgers coming and going in the neighborhoods, or those who have traditional rental properties in more touristy places like beach communities.

    But yeah, I have my 9mil next to me at all times, but that’s normal.

  12. Well, at least they weren’t porno addicts who by surprise found themselves the stars of a hidden camera porno.

    New microtechnology is a two sided coin. Blessings on one side, curses on the other. In a highly moral society the curses side would rarely be used. But that’s not were we live today. Be on guard for the human wolves.
