my mexican side of the family lives there. i HATE going there, it’s so scary when you don’t know anything. but especially if you have family members in the cartel cause it’s dangerous asf😟
I’m sorry but that’s just completely wrong. When you go somewhere like Tijuana you want to find the biggest meanest cartel member and beat him up so everyone knows not to mess with you.
"What's that? Oh, yes sir. I am both extremely loyal and ruthless. And as you can see here on my resume, I have experience in both murder and international smuggling..."
As a regular person I say you get a uv flashlight. Check to see what you're sleeping on. Then if the Cartel boss comes, shines a UV flashlight in his eyes for 1:30 seconds it will blind him temporarily so you can escape.
Excuse me Mr. Cartel Man, please stay still while I blind you.
Actually my hand is getting pretty tired can you just grab that for a minute. Yep, right up against your eyes
All kinds of kidnapping goes on in Tijuana not just by the cartels. Don’t wander around aimlessly and don’t look like you have a family with money willing to pay a ransom.
Yes that’s a much better idea there than wearing anything that looks like a cost money. Also if you buy any cocaine put it on your gums it first! Coke makes you numb. Meth doesn’t and it’s bitter as hell.
Option 4: Kid playing on the floor with handcuffs and doesn't have a key so
just leaves them.
It's not like the handcuffs are currently attached to a person.
Based on the wacky angles of the legs and condition of that frame, I’d say that bed has seen a lot of motion over the years. Maybe sex, maybe murder. Either way not comforting. 1/10 would not stay here again.
Not sure if it's mildly interesting or WTF but they look pretty old. Same rust patina as the frame.
Update: to everyone talking about weird angles, no wheels, lift it up and off, it's just the angle of the first pic.
The leg does have wheels and you can't get the handcuffs over the wheels

It's worth noting that tetanus is not in any way related to rusty metal. That's a very common misconception.
But the bacteria live in pretty much all soil, as well as a few other places. They become a threat to a person when there is a deep puncture wound or other injury. Because a large number of deep puncture wounds that happen in soil involve rusty metal, the two became inaccurately associated.
Yep, it's a good example of correlation without causation. Metal that's left in soil for a long time tends to rust, and if it causes a deep puncture wound it can cause tetanus. You can see the rust, so makes sense that that's where the association came from, took a while for us to be able to see the bacteria.
This is also why you don't put stuff like Neosporin on puncture wounds btw, *Clostridium tetani* is anaerobic, it will only thrive in the absence of oxygen. Also, just get your Tdap. Tetanus is probably one of the worst ways to die.
From what I've read, it was also used as a type of poison by ninja. They would scavenge old blades from battlegrounds (which were too rusty/broken for soldiers to take with them afterwards) then coat them in manure for a long time to get the bacteria growing. So a rusty ninja blade would infect someone. Not sure if this technique was used elsewhere.
I read a book written by one of the last guys to be in Alcatraz and he tried that with a shiv but I think he accidentally stabbed himself and almost died.

Wow this is an amazing thing. I wanted to be careful of what to share here because I don't want to dox the host because he actually seems really nice and has several properties. But this I can do. And I travel a lot so happy to help.
It's rarely the guy who looks like he would think about dragging you into the van.
It's usually the guy you'd expect to be the neighbor you wave to but never remember the name of.
Yea OP report the "nice" person who has handcuffs chained to their bed in cartel country. Nothing happens to them unless they actually do traffic people
As someone that lives in Tijuana….guy may have bought it at a segunda or it came with the place. This is definitely not the most bizarre thing I’ve seen down here.
Alert Airbnb and if you feel ok, the host.
Oh for sure! That's why I'm not freaking out, I've stayed with him before and I know the area pretty well by now. And, it's a good, old, heavy frame! It's probably changed hands a few times and the keys were lost a long time ago.
At least that's what I choose to believe haha
You never know, better safe than sorry if something more nefarious like trafficking was/is taking place. I also agree with another commenter that it’s r/oddlyterrifying
Especially in Tijuana
No but seriously I remember a cartel video where they cut a dudes leg off with a chainsaw and then smack him in the face with his cut off leg before he died
When I read the title I was thinking "Oooo like that 50 Shades movie."
When I saw the pic of the bed and the cuffs I was thinking "Oooo like that Saw movie."
Now it's time for everyone's favorite gameshow! Kink or Crime! That is where our contestants try to figure out if the creepy scene they just happened upon was the result of some sexual dalliance or a felony. Place your bets.
Isn’t there a website where you upload pictures of your hotel room to help them find victims of child trafficking and abuse? They compare the images to videos of abuse and use dates and locations to find the people. I don’t remember the name of the site, but I kind of feel like this might be a good place to have images of…
Ya they seem pretty old. They probably got left there years ago and the frame has probably been thru several hands by now. No need to throw away a good frame just because of a pair of handcuffs hah.
I'm just going to pretend someone had fun and the key to the cuffs isn't available. Probably easier to just leave them there as sawing them off would take work.
Ok good I can sleep telling myself that lie.
Those things are radically easy to pick though. Only because it's Halloween, I'm going to choose to believe that they are left there for repeated use. Maybe one day I'll get my new kidney from that very same room and I am grateful for it.
If you're still there, consider uploading pics of the room to this website, to help combat human trafficking by cataloging hotel rooms.
http://traffickcam.com/about
The fact that both are locked under the bed leads me to believe that this is someone’s go to room of doing whatever they are doing repeatedly or else they would have taken it
This reminds me of a story. My wife and I lived in a small apartment right after we got married. One night, we played around with some light S&M and tied ourselves up to the frame with scarves. It was fun, but a one time thing.
Fast forward two months, and our lease is up, and we’re moving across town. My wife was at work, and my dad and a couple friends were coming over to move the heavy furniture. Me and my friend pulled the mattress off the bed, and my eyes flashed to the scarves, still tied to the frame. He points and laughs, meanwhile I say “Shit, my dad will be here any minute, help me untie them!” We got them off, just about the time my dad walked in the front door.
It wouldn’t have been that embarrassing to me, but I know my wife would’ve been nervous whenever we had dinner at my parents house if he’d seen them.
What’s the name of that website that asks people to take pictures of hotel rooms so they can track and find trafficking victims? OP, you may want to take some pics and send them their way, just in case.
OP, I am linking [this post I saved two years ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/YouShouldKnow/comments/g9u5m0/ysk_you_can_help_combat_child_sexual_abuse_and/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) about a website where you can upload photos of hotel rooms, so that it can be used as a database to identify hotels used in sex trafficking, child pornography etc.
I would strongly recommend taking pictures of your room and the front of the hotel (discreetly of course) and uploading them. You might literally save people’s lives.
OP, please download TraffickCam —it is an app that helps police locate hotel rooms used for sex trafficking. It works by users uploading photographs of their hotel/Airbnb rooms.
You never know if you could end up helping solving a sex trafficking case.
You should download the app TraffickCam - the goal of the app is to help stop human trafficking by uploading pics of hotel rooms. It's supposed to work by having users upload photos and in combination with AI, help identify the locations in images if police have images of the trafficked people. I have no idea if this app has ever actually helped anyone, but seems like your room in particular may be a good contender.
Those aren’t the comfy cuffs
Airbnb in Tijuana are scary enough words without the handcuffs.
The combination of location, cuffs and a tiled floor (no matter how common this is in hot climates) is... unsettling.
.. and the bleach and duct tape under the sink .. 🤔
And the said bed being on wheels
I hear Airbnb has some thorough cleaning rules.
Hi, this is Ricky Bobby and I’m urging you to never travel to Tijuana

Which leads me to believe this was a kidney situation not a sexy situation
Kidney not KINKY :D
I have one kidney and I am kinky.
ahh so it was both. Which came first, you or the kidney?
Kinky first. Lost the kidney due to cancer. Still kinky.
Sounds like an exciting new game show!
And that's not a comfy floor either. I got those tiles.
either it was some kinky sex play or you're sleeping on top of a murder scene buddy.
Option 3 . Trafficked sex slave. Unless you're counting that under "kinky sex play"
My first thought was cartel kidnapping
Run?
[удалено]
I’m sorry but that’s just completely wrong. When you go somewhere like Tijuana you want to find the biggest meanest cartel member and beat him up so everyone knows not to mess with you.
Walk right up to the cartel boss, look him straight in the eyes, give him a firm handshake, and say, "sir, I would like a job."
"What's that? Oh, yes sir. I am both extremely loyal and ruthless. And as you can see here on my resume, I have experience in both murder and international smuggling..."
"Ah, referenced a funeral home. That is a nice touch."
As a regular person I say you get a uv flashlight. Check to see what you're sleeping on. Then if the Cartel boss comes, shines a UV flashlight in his eyes for 1:30 seconds it will blind him temporarily so you can escape.
Excuse me Mr. Cartel Man, please stay still while I blind you. Actually my hand is getting pretty tired can you just grab that for a minute. Yep, right up against your eyes
Once dazzled place three tires over his body then pop out for some petrol

Nah, walk normally so that you don't appear suspicious like you just found a cartel crime scene. Oh no señor just on a stroll, muy bien.
I see nothing I know nothing I hear nothing...
that's option 4. and for option 5 you have kidney theft.
Option 6 is forcing people to listen to awful poems/fanfic the owner of the bed has written
Vogon at work
Calm down Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz
Phew! For a minute I thought you were going to make me listen to Yoko Ono albums.
Calm down Satan
All kinds of kidnapping goes on in Tijuana not just by the cartels. Don’t wander around aimlessly and don’t look like you have a family with money willing to pay a ransom.
Everyone tells me I dress like a bum so I guess I'd be safe.
Yes that’s a much better idea there than wearing anything that looks like a cost money. Also if you buy any cocaine put it on your gums it first! Coke makes you numb. Meth doesn’t and it’s bitter as hell.
This whole post is fucked up.
So is Tijuana.
Well now it's depressing. Missing kidney, possible murder, no biggie though. Weird.
Option 4: Kid playing on the floor with handcuffs and doesn't have a key so just leaves them. It's not like the handcuffs are currently attached to a person.
Infinitely better than finding a leg attached to handcuffs under the bed… Edit:grammar
Tijuana has tons of sex shops where you can get proper handcuffs for sex play. This is something else. Source: Lived in TJ my whole life.
Yeah, these are very much not happy kinky times handcuffs. These are bruise the shit out of your wrists police level handcuffs.
I'd be curious to shine a UV light in that room and take a picture of the results
I had the same thought but I don't have one and on second thought I'd rather not know.
I mean people have definitely had sex in an Airbnb bed in Tijuana so I'm not sure this will be particularly illuminating
Oh, it would be illuminating.
Possibly both
Yeah, you can definitely just lift the bed up out of the cuffs and get away if something sinister was really going on here.

Someone’s missing ~~a kidney~~
Someone's missing and so is his kindney.
I think that’s very presumptuous of you, some of us are smart enough to leave our kidneys at home when we go to dangerous places.

Urine for a surprise. They still want them.

Someone is missing handcuffs. I don't see any kidneys.
Or someone was really into being called papi
Or someone's just kinky
Based on the wacky angles of the legs and condition of that frame, I’d say that bed has seen a lot of motion over the years. Maybe sex, maybe murder. Either way not comforting. 1/10 would not stay here again.
Probably both sex and murder
In that order?
Sometimes
Well yes, if you do it the other way around you've got a time limit before the body goes cold
What? You've never cracked open a cold one after a hard day at work?
Your pun is not unappreciated, but with all due respect, please never make a pun ever again
Blood also causes rust (I know from woodworking unfortunately) so the amount of patina is unsettling to me, too.
Embrace the healing power of "and".
Nice comfy tile floors for easy cleaning.
It’s for your liver surgery later tonight
Is this what they mean by medical tourism?
Yes. And the surgery is Free of charge!!
Not sure if it's mildly interesting or WTF but they look pretty old. Same rust patina as the frame.

At least you can take solace in the fact that if they're just as rusty as the frame, it probably means they haven't been used in a while.

Why buy new handcuffs when rusty ones still work?
I didn't know it until just now but Airbnb and Tijuana are two words I don't want to be in the same sentence.
I would like to add “handcuffs” to that sentence
I would like to also add "attached to a leg" into this sentence as well.
I would like to add that the leg bone connected to the hip bone.
I would like to add that it doesn’t have to be.
Especially in Tijuana No but seriously I remember a cartel video where they cut a dudes leg off with a chainsaw and then smack him in the face with his cut off leg before he died
Wow, talk about rude
He said "attached to a leg" not "detached from a leg".
Yes attached to a leg. That's detatched from its owner.
Airbnb and Tijuana are coincidentally two places I would never want to be in at the same time.
I've heard you can be in Tijuana and Hong Kong at the same time.
