Why you shouldn’t be a craigslist vigilante

Man Shot After Craigslist Sting Goes Awry:

It’s no secret that a lot of stolen goods are put up for sale on craigslist. Every once in a while you’ll see a story where a civilian got their items back by performing an amateur sting on the suspect. I don’t post these stories for the potential danger that doing that poses. This is a story that proves that point.

In Modesto. California a group of people decided to set up someone who was allegedly selling their friend’s stolen car stereo on craigslist. When the group of 4 confronted the suspect the suspect pulled out a gun and opened fire. He struck a 33-year-old man 5 times in the torso.

Leave police work to the professionals. If not it could get you killed.

craigslist thief gets greedy, the law gets stupid

Cops: Craigslist car scammer got greedy, got caught:

20-year-old Anthony Parkhurst was arrested in Orlando, Florida for allegedly selling a stolen car on craigslist, stealing it again and trying to sell it again on craigslist.

Supposedly he’s part of a larger statewide ring of car thieves.

And to show that their serious the City of Orlando put his bond at $4000 which he posted and he’s now free.

I wonder if that $4000 was from selling the stolen car.

Two face charges over stolen GPS devices, Alameda police say:

Qaise Ghauss, 18, and Ruben “Grumpy” Joseph Sigala III, 19, have both been charged with stealing GPS units from cars in Alameda, California and trying to sell them on craigslist.

As I’ve said before not only is craigslist the world’s biggest pimp in my opinion they are also the world’s biggest fence.

Abe Vigoda’s love child accused of selling stolen buggy

Craigslist Ad Helps Fresno Deputies Make Arrest:

That’s 49-year-old Harold Scott Ball. He was arrested for trying to sell a stolen antique buggy on craigslist.

I really don’t post the stolen goods stories any more. The only reason I posted this one is because of the mugshot.

Does he look more like a young Abe Vigoda or a young Christopher Lloyd? Maybe if Abe Vigoda and Christopher Lloyd had a baby it would look like him. *shudder*.

$2M craigslist theft ring busted

March 3, 2010 in Craigslist, Kijiji/eBay Classifieds, Stolen Goods by Trench Reynolds | No comments

Task force busts 3 accused of $2 million burglary, Internet scam:

A task force in Atlanta have arrested Joseph Mobbs, 32, Kinneth Devrick, 34, and Tracy Devrick, 37, in a multi-million dollar theft ring that involved both craigslist and the eBay owned Kijiji.

The trio are accused of stealing high end appliances from homes that were up for sale then selling them on the classifieds sites.

While Jim Buckmaster says that criminal activity is in the minority of activity in craigslist I would say that 2 million dollars is a pretty big chunk of change for a minority.

L.A. sees big jump in bike thefts, prompting some vigilante justice

Los Angeles Times

They act like it was a biker beatdown. A couple of cyclists, not bikers, stripped down some high school kids and took their cell phones in retaliation.

Not exactly Death Wish.

Of course the bikes were being sold on craigslist.
