this is well into the believable category.

Three young women find a hidden camera in a bathroom. Don’t call authorities, don’t take photos, don’t share it with the world for ‘likes’ and attention?? Nope they flush it down the toilet and go on about their vacation.

Extremely odd lie. Some of you dumbasses need to learn how to make your bullshite stories believable

It happened. New Years Eve 1987 in Dunwoody Georgia, around 10 PM if memory serves, just down the street from Perimeter Mall, somewhere around 4718 Ashford Dunwoody Road but the house was torn down to apply a strip center sometime in the last 38 years. About 1/4 mile from the Dunwoody Police Department Headquarters which I think existed at the time but wouldn't swear to it. I do not know if they would keep a record that long but I assume when they responded they would have made some sort of report. If they do you are welcome to contact them....it happened.

The owner of the house was the father in law of another friend whose family owned the entirety of the east side of Ashford Dunwoody Road from I-285 to Mt. Vernon road. His son in law was living in the house, a 2 story brick house with an apartment in the basement where the husband hid the camera. The man who owned the house lived next door in a log cabin that had been on the property since the end of the civil war. This cabin was visible from Ashford Dunwoody road and was well known in the 1980s as "The Shack" because it was and looked like a civil war era log cabin in the midst of a pretty upscale developing neighborhood. The owners daughter was an actress who played roles in area dinner theaters and the occasional small role at the Alliance theater. She was some sort of staff actress at the Alliance and her husband, my friend at the time, worked there as a volunteer building sets. He also was a district manager of a chain of fast food restaurants in North Georgia...as far as I know still is but was the manager of the Burger King in Dunwoody at the time. His wife passed away sometime in 1992 I think and he remarried a woman who worked for him who had several kids and they have a couple of their own.

This family owned Dunwoody for all practical purposes at the time and anyone who knows the area understands the wealth and influence that would be involved in owning Dunwoody. The man who lived in "the shack" was notorious for being drunk and shooting guns at his house, just a stones throw away from Perimeter Mall. The Dunwoody police knew him well....he was, as far as I know, never charged with a crime.

All of this may help you find the answers you are looking for.....

I walked into my room at a hotel once, and there was a Mexican fellow butt-naked and masturbating to porn that he'd charged to my room. He was an employee of the hotel. I received a full refund.

He posts here.

Two clues:

A big Rice fan.

Great hair.

I stayed in one and the owner could control it remotely. I kept turning it down to 65 and next time I looked it was 75. That went on for 4 days

Turn off wifi.

And that owner is an idiot. If you can remotely control thermostat, you can likely also put it on a schedule and lock it. I do that with my kids' thermostat

I recently stayed at an Airbnb, no problems. But if they had a camera in the bedroom, I'm sure the video would be all over the net by now

Had a cousin who booked an Airbnb in the Upper Ninth Ward. Nothing happened to him the three days he was there but he was scared shitless coming back each night.

that’s his own damned fault

Thats their major change - I give them credit for fixing it.

they haven’t fixed it. Now they quote a reasonable amount for the timeframe you show on the app/site. When you request to book it there’s some BS about forgot to update calendar. Price literally will jump 1.5-2X. Only thing to avoid it is instant book only filter. It’s also annoying you can’t filter by price like VRBO.
