Oh Craigslist. Is there anything you can’t do? The ever-luminous and observant Teddy Hart sent me this story and it’s simply too good not to mention. You can read the whole thing at the link above or you can read my CliffNotes-certified version right here…
Basically some poor guy in Oregon got most of his belongings jacked thanks to someone posting a fake ad on Craigslist. It alleged that all of his property had been seized by the local police and that everything was free for the taking. Unbelievable. Even crazier is the fact that he saw people speeding away from his house as he drove up (after being notified of weird goings-ons by a concerned neighbor).
I don’t know how the man refrained from resorting to violence. I know if I saw someone driving off with my crap in the back of their truck that I would probably end up getting arrested for extreme vengeance with a baseball bat and a crowbar. Or possibly with a machete. Assuming that it wasn’t already in someone’s trunk.
