We are talking one night away!!
Surely you would wear the coat and nice clothes out and take the iPhone??
I’m not sure why you’d even need to take the iPad for just 24 hours if you have a phone...
£3k still sounds excessive.Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')
No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)0 -

It's their own fault for having nice things with them? Is that the gist of your point?0 -
The window that they broke into had a sash lock on the right hand side, but I understand these are supposed to be fitted in pairs. There was a hole on the left hand side where the other one may have popped out from. We didn’t see one on the floor when we came home, but the Hosts partner came over to secure the window and cleared up afterwards, so if it was there he may have hoovered it up or something0

The £3k was between 3 people, so we are taking £1k each - basically consisted of £100 bag, Dyson hairdryer, a couple of pieces of jewellery, perfume, some clothes, several pieces of Clinique make up - no phones or iPads - luckily we had them with us!0

Unless you can show the host was negligent, this is a job for your friends' insurance policies. There is no requirement or minimum standard for window security so I can't see how they'd Ben considered negligent even if they'd chosen to only fit one lock. People would soon start to walk away from letting out their properties if they had to jump through all sorts of security requirement hoops.SomersetLass wrote: »The window that they broke into had a sash lock on the right hand side, but I understand these are supposed to be fitted in pairs.

Doesn't matter, they forced entry. Hosts aren't obliged to turn the place into Fort Knox.SomersetLass wrote: »The window that they broke into had a sash lock on the right hand side, but I understand these are supposed to be fitted in pairs.0 -
How was access to the property provided?
My brother rents out their spare bedroom on Air BnB ... they have a coded "key safe" in which the house key is kept for Air BnB visitors. Obviously this is a weak point - a burglar could break open the key safe and so access the property more easily. (Fortunately he's has no such issues to date).0
