He doesn’t make it, and he steps on it again. It opens all the boxes, one after another and returns to the original where it finally opens it. All this time people keep passing through his face, but he doesn’t seem to be intimidated. The John Doe broke into the box containing the keys to the 3rd floor apartment, and stole the TV. “He took the keys and went up to the site and went in and took the TV and left. He wrapped her in a blanket and took her away.

The way the perpetrator managed to enter the Airbnb apartment is something that worries property owners a lot.
