I think you can get away with a single one. Sometimes, you&amp;#x27;ll be asked to provide a driver&amp;#x27;s license or passport for proof.&lt;p&gt;80% of the rentals I&amp;#x27;ve been in weren&amp;#x27;t their primary home, so even if someone was to rob the place, there wasn&amp;#x27;t much to take. The most valuable thing would probably be the TV, but most places only had a 32-40&amp;quot; tv which goes for a few hundred bucks new.&lt;p&gt;While people aren&amp;#x27;t robbing Airbnb homes, there are several cases where they are getting completely destroyed.</text><parent_chain><item><author>sytelus</author><text>I am doubting this data points.

Secondly you&amp;#x27;d need to pay to rent an expensive place in advance (which could be done fraudently) followed by the fact that it&amp;#x27;s much harder to fence furniture relative to cars which are more uniform.&lt;p&gt;Simply put, I imagine there is more money is stealing cars.&lt;p&gt;As to &amp;quot;selling the house&amp;quot;, this often requires a serious amount of paperwork and is harder to do.</text><parent_chain><item><author>sytelus</author><text>I am doubting this data points.
