Prada, Vintage Coke and More Shocking Items Guests Abandoned in Airbnbs Worth Millions
When guests check out of a luxury Airbnb, hosts usually expect a few stray socks or half-empty bottles in the fridge, but certainly not gold chains or vintage soda bottles. But for Miami property manager and content creator Gabriel Reck, every checkout can turn into a surprise. His viral clips pull back the curtain on what’s left behind inside multimillion-dollar rentals once the guests are gone.

Gabriel manages luxury homes across Miami through Luxuri Management, where one night can cost more than most people’s monthly rent. His clients include celebrities, athletes, and big spenders who enjoy the high life. Between South Beach apartments and waterfront mansions, Gabriel’s videos reveal the wild reality of luxury hosting.

One guest left behind gold chains worth approximately $50,000. Yes, you read that right. Gabriel mailed them back, but not before the story blew up online. It is hard to believe anyone could forget something that valuable, but it makes great content.
Bullets on the Floor

After a rapper’s stay at a $10 million mansion, Gabriel found bullets scattered on a desk and the floor. It was a first for him and probably the last thing anyone wants to see while cleaning. The mansion was fine, but the story definitely raised some eyebrows.
A Censored Mystery Item

One video showed a blurred item under a pillow. Gabriel never revealed what it was, leaving viewers guessing. Most fans decided it looked like a gun. Whatever it was, it definitely belonged in the “don’t touch” category.
High-End Watches

Two pink luxury watches were left on a bedside table. Gabriel mentioned they were “actually very expensive.” Somewhere, a guest was probably halfway through airport security when they realized the mistake.
Designer Clothing Everywhere

Some guests forget whole wardrobes. Gabriel has found racks of Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and Balenciaga still hanging in closets. It is like a high-fashion yard sale that no one planned. Once, it was a $568 vintage designer shirt lying on the closet floor.
A Mountain of Sneakers

He once opened a bedroom to find more than a dozen pairs of Nike Air Force 1s and a brand new pair of Timberlands, all left behind. No one knows if it was an accident or a choice, but it looked like a sneaker convention with no guests.
Vintage Soda Bottles from 1968

Inside a kitchen cabinet, Gabriel discovered unopened Coca-Cola, Pepsi, and Dr Pepper bottles from the 1960s. The drinks were older than most of his followers. Whether it was a collector’s stash or a joke, it made history feel oddly carbonated.
A Lone Frozen Fish

In one Miami mansion, the freezer held just one thing: a neatly wrapped fish. No frozen dinners, no desserts, nothing else at all. It sat there alone, as if someone had left it behind and never looked back.
A Giant Bouquet

After a family birthday celebration, Gabriel found a massive bouquet of fresh flowers still standing tall in the living room. It smelled great, but moving it out of the house was probably less fun than cutting the cake.
A Signed Glass Bottle

Someone left a glass bottle covered in Sharpie signatures and birthday wishes. It looked like a party souvenir, possibly from a celebrity event. For Gabriel, it was both evidence of a great night and one more item to recycle.
Expired Margarita Mix

Half-used Casamigos margarita mix and bottles of tequila are common finds in his videos. Some guests clearly start strong and forget to finish. At least it makes the fridge smell like vacation.
A Chevrolet Car Key…. and Car

A guest once left behind a car key to a Chevy after flying home. The car was still parked outside the property. It is safe to assume that the phone call was a little awkward.
Fake Golden Ring and COVID Tests

After a Halloween party, Gabriel found a fake gold ring next to a few used COVID tests. It felt like a strange time capsule from 2020 that no one asked for. He later went on to find plenty of fake jewelry at other properties as well.
Multiple PlayStation 5 Controllers

Gamers often forget their PlayStation 5 controllers after long nights of gaming. Gabriel could easily open a small tech shop with the number he has collected over time.
