While staying at an Airbnb, my wife noticed a blinking light on the smoke detector. When I checked, I found a tiny hidden camera inside. Heart pounding, we packed up and fled. Later, the host claimed it was a security system transmitter — but a red laser dot in a photo revealed a tracker.
It wasn’t just a creepy host — the rental was a setup, watching and collecting data. That night, I realized how fragile safety really is: even five-star reviews and perfect photos can hide dangerous traps.
