Aftermath of that Craiglist apartment ad

submitted by Deano

Homeowner Laurie Raye shows the result of a bunch of strangers gutting her home following a malicious Craiglist ad inviting people to take whatever they wanted.

The neighbors noticed people walking away with things and DIDN'T call the police?!?!

And how stupid are the people who believed the ad?!?!

My thoughts exactly...

neighbours didn't call the police, or the homeowner... heck even the police didn't call the police.

I doubt most of the folks that showed up were duped. More likely they assumed the fraudulent ad provided some legal cover for burglary.

As for Craigslist not providing the identity of the poster - hell yeah they better wait for a warrant! And given the circumstances, it should be trivial to get - for law enforcement agents. Imagine for a moment if craigslist had given this woman the name, number and address of the poster. They would be subject to endless litigation due to vigilante justice and would rightfully be driven into bankruptcy (not to mention potential federal criminal charges).

Downvote for idiots not securing their property and later whining about it getting vandalized.
