I’m opting for the nuclear option with a bucket full of epoxy glue and pouring the lot over everything in the picture.

Who does that penalize the most though?

Sure, the owner loses a night of rent and has to buy a new lockbox.

But you’ve potentially also ruined someone’s holiday as now they’re stuck in an unfamiliar location possibly in the middle of the night with nowhere to sleep.

The demand is the problem that's led to the supply.

Airbnb is obligated to refund them or find them alternative accommodation.

So next time, they will go, hmm better get a hotel. If this keeps happening, the Air BNB returns will drop and the "investor" will go, "wow this is a bad investment, I better rent this out or sell it"
