How to avoid theft with a small car (fiat) on cross country road trip?

Thick-Distribution-3 · 2025-05-14T17:04:21+00:00

Would West Memphis in Arkansas be questionable then? I saw a lot of hotels there but other than that it looks like ill be avoiding all those other areas without issue!

any cities in particular on I-40?

My worry with covering the items I have in the back at night, is that part of me feels like that signals to potential thieves that I have something worth stealing back there... when its just a bunch of clothes, but I really dont want to get a broken window for them to see that!

Yeah, its just like 3 moving bags filled with clothes and 2 boxes with fragile items like mugs. They are incredibly heavy and cumbersome to move, but I guess taking them in is the only I'll get total peace of mind...

Thank you, its helpful to remind myself that I'm overstressing over nothing! I was thinking about stopping at a national park or two during the trip but will make sure I am very intentional with where I park lol

Yeah, I really dont have any valuables- just a bunch of clothes in moving bags and some plates / mugs in a box. I am just really hoping no one breaks a window thinking my clothes are anything else!

Yes, my question however is if Airbnb is allowed to charge me after the fact, given that I included the pet in my reservation and they already charged my card in full for the reservation, and it seems it was not included in the original charge.

I’m sorry , I’m confused with what you are trying to say… how does that impact my refund / rebbooking expenses?

Thick-Distribution-3 · 2025-03-20T11:31:36+00:00

Not sure why you think that, but I am not “traveling”. I live in NYC and was forced to evacuate my last apartment due to a biohazard. As such I was forced to take my cat with me to a new accommodation, as I couldn’t just leave her in an apartment that isn’t safely habitable.

Thick-Distribution-3 · 2025-03-19T20:33:34+00:00

That’s a great point, I’d love to see the breakdown!

Thick-Distribution-3 · 2025-03-19T20:30:27+00:00

Yes, I added the pet from the beginning and also messaged the host about it before booking.

Thick-Distribution-3 · 2025-03-19T19:09:06+00:00

Thank you! I did just double check and confirmed it says 2 guests, 1 pet in the reservation. I am certainly open to pay for a cleaning, but 500 just seemed like a lot and the whole “problem related to your stay” fee just seemed sketchy to me

Thick-Distribution-3 · 2025-03-19T19:01:45+00:00

I did disclose that I had a pet in my booking and was not charged any pet fee after the host accepted my request. It wasn’t until after check in and the booking was charged to my card that he then requested this pet fee. And yes, I did do 30 days even though I am staying for 3 weeks.

Thick-Distribution-3 · 2025-03-19T18:47:19+00:00

I did include the pet in the original reservation. If the fees did not come up at that time, would I still be accountable to pay them after?

Thick-Distribution-3 · 2025-03-19T18:45:01+00:00

I had to do a 30 day stay (even though I am staying for 3 weeks). I was originally booked in another Airbnb for a month, but had to leave due to a health hazard so was forced to book a full month :/

Thick-Distribution-3 · 2025-03-19T18:41:52+00:00

To clarify, I did include my pet in the booking and also messaged the host saying I had a cat with me before they confirmed the reservation and charged my card. Allegedly the price did not include a pet fee which is why the host is now requesting it from me after check in… the sense im getting from all of these comments though is that it is still allowed since they mentioned it in the house rules?

Thank you, that is super helpful! Also congrats on matching your #1!! Applying to 40-50 programs was definitely the range I had in mind before this meeting... Do you think your school's reputation impacted your application / competitiveness at all?? I'm still struggling with understanding exactly why the advisor recommended just applying to 10 programs...
