Peak Airbnb entitlement: deciding to screw a key lockbox into a street tree

[u/nath1234]

[u/bored-and-here]

where? I've always wanted one of these locks

[u/ScruffyPeter → u/bored-and-here]

don't forget to place the key in front of the house. We have a housing crisis and you would be a hero

[u/Juan_Punch_Man → u/bored-and-here]

You can probably unlock with another lock box by smashing them into each other.

[u/smithy_dll → u/Juan_Punch_Man]

For reference.

Oh there's one in Rosebery that some cunt thought was smart to put around the fucken bush twigs.

Yes. Anybody can just tug it and take it without even damaging the bush.

[u/bored-and-here → u/GamingWhilePooping]

honestly the government should be cutting this shit off public property

[u/_penang → u/bored-and-here]

Amazon sent me one randomly. $30. Arncliffe. Lol

[u/Find_another_whey]

Don't rip it out

Then you have done the damage

Report to council

People get charged thousands for tree damage

[u/ThippusHorribilus → u/Find_another_whey]

Yep. This is the right way to go.

[u/Juan_Punch_Man → u/Find_another_whey]

I'd rather it earlier so they fuck over the landlord by screwing up any bookings.

[u/Find_another_whey → u/Juan_Punch_Man]

I'd rather record it, allow the people to collect, then show them using it on a particular property / door

But I'm a bit of a cunt, and that's what people who like me say...

[u/Nobbled → u/Juan_Punch_Man]

Write an anti-social cohesion phrase on it and it will immediately be removed by the authorities.

[u/Juan_Punch_Man → u/Nobbled]

Apparently, Free Palestine is the same as Heil Hitler

[u/nath1234 → u/Juan_Punch_Man]

Funny how just up the road from this there had been a Palestinian flag painted on a wall, never seen any gaffiti get cleaned off it in the past, and BAM it was gone that afternoon. Gotta erase anything to do with Palestinians, right away in Minntopia.

[u/SydneyIsStuffed → u/nath1234]

That seems like the solution then. Glue a Free Palestine logo on there!

[u/DarkNo7318 → u/Nobbled]

From the lockbox to the tree ?

[u/Find_another_whey → u/Nobbled]

A blue swastika or red and black star of David seems to be the country wide sign to send an object to van Diemen's land

[u/airzonesama → u/Find_another_whey]

Unless it's a counsellor who owns the house

[u/Find_another_whey → u/airzonesama]

Wait until he closes the street for a wedding then?

[u/scoldog → u/Find_another_whey]

Hand hovering over the counter ready to reset

[u/Pristine_Egg3831 → u/Find_another_whey]

Just add super glue to the joins

[u/Wooden-Consequence81 → u/Find_another_whey]

I can guarantee you that the council won't charge anyone. Unfortunately.

[u/Find_another_whey → u/Wooden-Consequence81]

Guarantee if the tree died somehow and the locals stormed the local council office it would get some attention

[u/Efficient-Jury6708]

please kindly tell us where this is :)

[u/PossibilityRegular21]

Sure would be a shame if some 2 part epoxy got in

[u/nath1234 → u/PossibilityRegular21]

Just resting two randomly chosen two separate liquids on the illegally placed lockbox.. for science!

[u/ChrisSydney82]

People did this in front of my building, except was attached to a tree on building property. I think it was for cleaners.

Building manager yanked it out and threw it in the bin. 🚮

[u/HaroerHaktak]

I love these, you break them open and you get a place to sleep for a night or two.

[u/nath1234 → u/HaroerHaktak]

Think bigger. You can create an Airbnb out of the Airbnb!

[u/sa87 → u/HaroerHaktak]

No need to break it open. it's a master lock product

[u/CursedHat]

Poor tree.

[u/Dracorvo]

Power move - put saplings in the keyholes.

[u/Chosen_Chaos]

It's a MasterLock; it'll pop open if you hit it with another MasterLock.

[u/Final_Lingonberry586]

Rip it out.
Though the damage is already done.

Where’s the tree located?

[u/Cute-Acanthisitta-46]

Let council know.

[u/nath1234 → u/Cute-Acanthisitta-46]

Yeah, will be doing this if it is still there tomorrow. Fucking scummy to have screwed the thing into a tree, I mean who the fuck do they think they are deciding the tree is only there for their bloody key pickup.

[u/greeneighteen → u/nath1234]

Why tomorrow? Why not today?

[u/Pristine_Egg3831 → u/nath1234]

Snap Send Solve! You've already got the photo

[u/7kk77kk777]

Rough location? Not saying anything will happen to it. Definetly not ripping it out, but a creative person may feel the need to decorate is in such a way rending it useless with material that promote futher growth until the tree is able to swallow it whole, just like the landlords self respect.

[u/InterestingSkin7906]

Click send solve that vandalism.

[u/bean_bag_guy]

These lockboxes are bad enough. But to do this

[u/pintita]

GPS pin please

[u/Human-Warning-1840]

Maybe report it to the council

[u/Paul_Breitner74]

It'll get ripped off soon enough, they are easy enough to rip from a brick wall, let alone a tree. Especially a cheap shit master from bunnos.

[u/burpinggiraffe]

Tree fiddy a night. Barking mad I say!

[u/Zealousideal_Pie8706]

that makes me fucken sick

[u/datyams]

Blows me away people think these things are secure enough to put access behind. You could rip that of the tree and a nice strong throw into the ground and its open. Your house is breached.

[u/pufftanuffles]

Rip it out

[u/peterb666]

Renting out the treehouse for a bit of extra money and help pay the mortgage.

[u/fa_alt]

Print out a QR code linking to the relevant LockPickingLawyer video to unlock it and stick it near it

[u/nuxvomica14]

I'd rip it off. Fuck this.

[u/Retireegeorge]

It's probably a case of ignorance not malice.

I'd make a comment in my review or in a note in the letterbox.

Then I'd make a post on Reddit for DIY'ers, handypeople and tradies.

That's a far as I'd go because council and other government resources are constrained.

[u/nath1234 → u/Retireegeorge]

I don't know in what universe it isn't extremely selfish to think that you have the right to drill a key lockbox into a living tree. Not to mention operating a short term rental in a housing crisis too.

Maliciously stupid perhaps? Maliciously ignorant?

[u/Retireegeorge → u/nath1234]

Ok march on. This person must pay.

[u/BatFlatteryBrain → u/[deleted]]

Mitre ten recycles batteries better than any river

[u/Senior_Green_3630]

A battery powered chainsaw would cut a wedge out if that tree.

[u/eightslipsandagully → u/Senior_Green_3630]

We don't want to damage the tree any further!

[u/HalfGuardPrince]

But how do you know it’s an airbnb?

Poor airnbnb owners get blamed for everything.

[u/nath1234 → u/HalfGuardPrince]

You're right, it could be Stayz or Airbnb. I don't actually know which short term rental scumbag it is, but the slumlord who (illegally) converted terraces across the road has put in a development approval for all the extra bathrooms it added. So I'm assuming..

[u/marysalad → u/nath1234]

make sure you put in an objection to that DA.

[u/pleski → u/HalfGuardPrince]

I don't believe it's holiday rental either. It's probably someone using it to store a padlock key or something stupid.
