Tell that to my friend who had his apartment emptied by some skank and her friends. In his defence, he was passed out / fast asleep at the time.
We did warn him.
Had a similar experience, took a bird home had a fun night and found my wallet emptied in the morning

Do you know why, when you're trying to sneak out of a one night stand's house at 4am, every tiny little noise you make sounds like it's amplified ten-fold?
Used this quite a few times, most recently in Sweden (twice), and in Germany- all times its been great. Not only cheaper than a hostel but normal your 'hosts' will offer to take you out or just give you general local knowledge.
The couple we stayed with in Hamburg gave us the keys to their flat on the first night as we wanted to go for a night out!

A fool to consider it? I actually feel sorry for you, having such low opinion of your fellow man.

Have I ever taken a girl back on a night out? Of course. Were we both utterly plasted? Every time! After considering this would I let strangers in to roam free? No! It's not even a decision!
I have a very high opinion of my fellow man. That in no way translates to wanting to let them bound about my home.
it tends to be..
people at uni, letting other students on their travels, kip over for a night or so
for exmaple, I wouldn't just let some random geordie stay at my house

...and you'd be right not to! I'd eat all the food and drink all the beer, then fall asleep on your bed
I'm going to be travelling around America mostly via couchsurfing. I haven't read the whole thread but there was a 10-15minute interview on Excess Baggage (BBC Radio 4) not so long ago (2 weeks ago maybe?) which should still be up for anyone who wants to hear about it some more.
If any of you were interested - just had my couch surfer stay for 2 days.
One of the most interesting people i've ever met. He loved the place, we spoke for hours about his travelling, inspired me to do something about my urge to move about!
He's sending me a copy of his books when he gets back, to say thanks. Top bloke.
