Sure Hope She Gets Ownership of Craigslist

The hippy-dippy website Craigslist had the following:

In online ad offering everything in the house for free left one landlord with quite a shock. By the time she realized what was going on, the house had been stripped of its light fixtures, hot water heater — even the kitchen sink.Laurie Raye said she traced the damage to a fake ad on craigslist, a San Francisco-based Internet site for classifieds.

“The instigator who published this ad invited the public to come in and vandalize me,” Raye told Seattle television station KING. She said the rental home wasn’t occupied at the time because she had recently evicted a tenant, but it had other items inside.

Even the front door and a vinyl window were pilfered, Raye said.

“In the ad, it said come and take what you want. Everything is free,” she said. “Please help yourself to anything on the property.”

And you know the response from the loving, caring folks at this “online community” would be:

Raye said she contacted craigslist and received an e-mail saying officials would need a subpoena or search warrant to release information about who posted the ad.

I hope she sues the “operators” of this caring little community into the ground. And that the scumbag who originally put up this ad gets a long stretch in jail.
