In a somewhat similar vein, a few years back my wife got in to the whole Couchsurfing thing - which could be said to be a forerunner of AirBnB.
A nice couple from the other side of the world stayed with us for the weekend. When they left I noticed they had taken six Intermec Windows CE warehouse scanners with them. I'd been working from home for a bit so that why I had them, I was updating the software to work with our new ERP system.
They were backpacking so I'm not too sure what they planned to do with them. These devices are hard to hide and they didn't take the charging cradles.
I had to pay to replace them out of my own pocket as our home insurance wouldn't cover work owned items.
- cloudjacker 10y agoWas it too late to chase them down?
- DoubleGlazing 10y agoI only noticed after they had left the country. I did go to the Guards (Irish police), but they confirmed what I thought that because they were now out of the country then there wasn't a lot that could be done. We also reported them to Couchsurfing who seemed completely disinterested.
