Bachelorette Party 'Evacuates' From Rental Home After Realizing They Were 'Set Up To Be Robbed'

A new fear has been unlocked for those seeking to rent spaces from rental apps.

A bachelorette party that was being held at a vacation rental home in Austin, Texas had to have an "emergency evacuation" after partygoers realized the location was vulnerable to robbery.


TikTok user Callie Bryant–a.k.a. @callie.bryant–posted a video of her group unexpectedly relocating to a hotel in the middle of the night after she and her friends realized the doors to the venue they got through VRBO–a rental service similar to Airbnb–had defunct locks and alarm systems.

Here is the clip that received over 192K likes on TikTok.

The text overlay in the viral video read:

“Bach party in Austin––> emergency evacuating our [apartment] in the middle of the night, cause we realized we were being set up to be robbed and/or worse when the doors didn't lock, alarm system was dead, owner didn't respond."

Bryant also noted the listing for the property had been taken down from the platform after they arrived.

Fellow TikTokers shared their horrific rental experiences and their apprehension about renting from properties other than hotels.

Nothing seems to get conservatives' goats quite like celebrities having political opinions—well, liberal and leftist celebrities, anyway.

They seem to love it when weird right-wing celebs like Kevin Sorbo get on the internet and say bizarre, usually counterfactual nonsense, or when JK Rowling does her darnedest to make her legacy not about Harry Potter but about her weird obsession with trans people.

Far-right provocateur Ann Coulter is facing fierce criticism after she made a genocidal remark in a now-deleted post on X in response to University of Minnesota professor and Navajo Nation member Melanie Yazzie's speech about colonization.

Yazzie, in a speech at last year's annual Socialism Conference, said "decolonization is the only thing that is going to save us as a species" during a panel hosted by Red Nation, a Native American nonprofit that advocates for Palestinian and Native American rights. She also said that the United States is the "greatest predator empire that has ever existed" and said it should be dismantled.
