On Airbnb, I understand there is verification of identity checks. Secondly you'd need to pay to rent an expensive place in advance (which could be done fraudently) followed by the fact that it's much harder to fence furniture relative to cars which are more uniform. Simply put, I imagine there is more money is stealing cars. As to "selling the house", this often requires a serious amount of paperwork and is harder to do.
