I hate the idea that everyone has to rig their doorsteps up with cameras or put decibel counters in their kitchens, but after the countless douchebags who have thrown their super-spreader events in unsuspecting hosts' homes, this is what we've come to. Unauthorized parties were already a thing before Corona, but now for a lot of people they've become the first thing that 'getting an Airbnb' means, and the uncertainty of any compensation means it's entirely up to hosts to keep control of their properties and actively prevent gatherings like this from happening. Sadly, if you watch this forum more regularly, your situation is one that hundreds if not thousands of hosts have been going through lately. I'm surprised that the $170 speaker even registers as a detail to you amidst the $10,000 damage. And you get arbitration fee back if your claim is Wow, terrible situation. Again your legal experience will hopefully make this a fairly simple process for you. If you put in the claim in line with Airbnb's guarantee and they are refusing to consider it (fully) take them to arbitration. And you get arbitration fee back if your claim is successful. How were multiple guests who weren't on the booking able to enter your valuable property and party without your CCTV or other security systems not picking this up? In terms of your wider claim, I'm sorry to hear about your experience. 'For all Covered Property which is damaged or destroyed due to a violation of law or criminal act or theft or misdemeanor and for which you are filing an Airbnb Host Guarantee Payment Request Form, you must file a police report listing such Covered Property and provide Airbnb with a copy of such report, certified by you as true'.

Particularly as Airbnb has this in it's T&C for making a claim. As such you are more likely to know then others that a police report when you are claiming for stolen property would be key in having your claim for theft considered. Hi mention on another thread that you are a lawyer.
