Woman Stunned After Finding Receipt For Surveillance Equipment Under The Bed Of Her Airbnb

Woman Stunned After Finding Receipt For Surveillance Equipment Under The Bed Of Her Airbnb

A TikToker has left people in shock after she documented a truly disturbing discovery under her bed in an Airbnb—a receipt for surveillance equipment.

As the TikToker Arlen's video shows, the receipt is for more than $1000 worth of hidden cameras, audio recorders and flash drives.


See the video, which includes the receipt, below.

The details included on the receipt make this whole story all the more chilling.

As Arlen explained in a follow-up video, seen below, among the things the Airbnb owner purchased were things like "Pocket Keychain Audio Recorder" and "Power Bank Hidden Camera"—cameras that look like normal, every day objects often provided in Airbnbs, like keychains for house keys and phone chargers.

Arlen also explained she, her sister and her boyfriend have been staying in Airbnbs temporarily while they look for a house in the Houston area after relocating there from Utah.

Everything seemed off about this Airbnb right from the start.

The house looked entirely different to the photos they'd seen online, it was much smaller than advertised and it had a roach problem. But, as they were out of other options for their month-long stay, they had the owner move them to a different unit in the same building that mostly rectified the situation.

It wasn't until the final day of their stay they found the receipt under the bed, while cleaning up and preparing to leave. And given the cost of the equipment, Arlen and her family believe this was a serious attempt at surveillance.

"...[T]he price is over a thousand dollars, so it wasn't just something somebody did for fun or to experiment. Somebody put a lot of money into spying on people."

In a third follow-up, Arlen said she reported the situation to Airbnb.

But the company was not helpful to them at all, telling her to contact the owner instead.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox Host Comes To Reporter's Defense After Pete Hegseth Berates Her At Pentagon Briefing

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
