Oblivious VRBO guests caught on camera trashing vacation rental and hoping they’d get away with it

Two Vrbo renters tried to act stupid after causing massive damage to a Wisconsin home, but they looked even stupider after being filmed the entire time.

Ashley Deutsch, the owner of the vacation home, said guests flooded the property by putting pizza in the sink, which clogged the drain and left the water running for hours.

“We can say we woke up to it,” says one tenant in the footage as he struggles to clean up.

Deutsch said about 600 gallons of sink water caused hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage and destroyed her home and the business below it.

The video also showed photos of water-soaked sheets on the stairs and rolls of paper towels strewn haphazardly across the floor.

“Every time you took a step, water would pour out of the floor,” the owner said CNN.

Deutsch’s Ring camera footage shows the duo drinking beer and tripping on the stairs.

Later in the video, the tenants throw soaked towels, bedding, and rugs down in an ill-advised attempt to dry up the flood they themselves have caused.

Unaware that they are being recorded, the pair can be heard laughing as they devise ways to cover up their role in the damage.

“For now we can say we woke up with it,” said one of the tenants.

It was hard for Deutsch to hear the men plotting in such a despicable manner.

The vacation home owner said guests intentionally flooded the property by leaving the water running for hours, causing about 640 gallons of water to be lost.

“It’s so frustrating to hear them try to make up lies to justify their behavior while he wrings out a towel with his feet,” the heartbroken property owner said.

The video also showed water-soaked sheets on the stairs and rolls of paper towels strewn haphazardly across the floor.

Around 4 a.m., Deutsch started getting notifications from her outside camera.

When she arrived at the building, she found it in chaos.

“The sink was clogged with pizza and other things they could have eaten for dinner,” Deutsch said. CNN.

But the devastation wasn’t limited to the Vrbo property. The unit downstairs, a tattoo parlor, also suffered severe damage from the flooding.

Jamie Princen opened her shop less than nine months ago. But now the small business owner will be forced to remain closed for the time being while she tries to restore her tattoo shop.

“It was just soaked through,” Princen said, moved. “There’s hundreds of hours of work that went into making this studio what it is today, and when you see all that, it’s all wiped away,” she said.

Because the building is in a disorderly state, Princen and Deutsch are taking legal action.

However, both women were forced to sell their belongings to pay for the costs of repairing the property.

Throughout the ordeal, they have become dependent on each other’s support.

“I think we will come back much stronger,” said Princen.
