craigslist crime blotter 7/20/09 – Overdue robbery edition

Craigslist cell phone sales become robberies:

If you’re thinking of selling a high end cell phone on craigslist you may want to rethink that. In Hayward, California two people were robbed this week thinking they were meeting buyers from craigslist.

Thanks to sfo craigslist reader for that tip.

Strippers invited; men robbed:

Two men from Cheviot, Ohio were robbed after hiring strippers off of craigslist. I’m sure the strippers were advertising on the new ‘adult services’ section. In case you can’t figure it oiut you still take a huge safety risk by using services from that section of craigslist.
