Even the kitchen sink

Tacoma woman’s house emptied after craigslist hoax:
A woman in Tacoma, Washington by the name of Laurie Raye recently evicted some tenants from a property she owns. Someone then posted an ad on craigslist that said anybody is welcome to come and take things from the property for free. And they did.

Neighbors said they saw strangers hauling items away, apparently looking for salvage material.

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.”

What did craigslist have to say about this? The usual…

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.

Craigslist officials did not immediately respond today to a request for comment by The Associated Press.

I wonder if craigslist now has a “Revenge” section.
