It astounds me how stupid people can be sometimes. How could anyone with common sense NOT know that something is wrong with a Craigslist ad that says ”take everything you want” from a fully furnished home.

The trespassers, armed with printouts of the ad, tried to brush him off. "They honestly thought that because it appeared on the Internet it was true," Salisbury said. "It boggles the mind." Jacksonville police and Jackson County sheriff's deputies arrived but by then several cars packed with Salisbury's property had fled.

Thankfully I have an office built here in my home…you’d have to carry my big ass off if someone pulled the Craiglist trick on me :D
 
Simple. They know something is wrong with it and are doing it anyways. The ad just gives them an out if they are caught at it.

Well, perhaps when the folks get there the house is half gone? lol.


Yeah, people are dumb.
 
I have seen similar things occur during a divorce while the spouse was deployed. Wife decided to leave him and sold everything of his during a garage sale for dirt cheap or free on some things.
 
Doesn't matter the date of the article, its still stupid what the woman did. I hope the judge throws the book at her.
 
Did these people not keep their house locked up? Or did the jackasses that responded to the ad acutally break in?
 
they would have trouble getting past me and my 9mm. As soon as you step foot in my house you are mine :cool:

I wonder the same thing. If people break in to get the stuffs, they should be charged with criminal now. But if the house is unlocked, that is just plain stupid.

Ditto here, this is common sense on both counts. Apparently, common sense is uncommon these days. :rolleyes:

Steve - thanks for the updated link, now we are beginning to know the stupidity of Craigslist readers, they obviously don't learn. I am beginning to think that all of their readers should be tracked by IP's and their house's checked for stolen goods.
 
The Jacksonville, Applegate and Ruch area in Oregon is very rural. A lot of people still don't lock their doors out there. Plus quite a bit of the loot was located in his barn.

"Some attempted to lie saying the home's owner had just left after instructing them to take whatever they wanted", Salisbury said.

LAME!

It is still unlawful entry and trespassing even if your door isn't locked. He should have the right (and would in IN) to start firing at every person who was in the house. All he'd have to do is say he felt threatened. Of course, most of his firearms were in the FIRST trailerload that left. I feel for the guy.
 
If anyone wanted something out of my garage they can keep it as long as its not the lawn mower, my car care stuff or my bike. The rest of the shit can go. LOL

Seriously though, that sucks.

Ok, so that car care stuff stays the the car itself goes. Got that.
address? My sister needs a new car.
 
Maybe he doesn't keep his car in the garage because it's too full of crap. It's probably in the driveway....if it's in the garage though....sounds like the first on there gets it!
 
Some people are just like stupid animals. I don't understand how people can sit back and enjoy there stolen loot. No morals at all. But I guess it was on the internet so 'If Craiglist says so then it must be true'. Sort of funny though that someone phoned him asking about his horse.
 
You have to wonder how stupid the people at Craigslist are to accept such an ad in the first place.Like someone's going to just give away everything in their house.Definitely lawsuit material.
 
^-- lol

they don't review ads, I sold a ton of furniture about 2 months ago.. just post with email addy, wait for ad aproval letter.. click post on the link.. done

only time I see Craig's getting involed if people report the ad as bad/fraudulent/misleading what ever

like some of these greedy people are gonna report an ad claiming free stuff! come and get it

You're correct. My garage is so full of shit I can't keep my car in it! So no one's getting that. lol
 
Sooo... what was Steves address again? I'd be curious to see if there would be some sort of throwdown :)
