The kind, loving people who make Craigslist such a friendly place to visit online (NOT!) have now ransacked a man’s house in Oregon.
Oregon man’s property ransacked after Craigslist hoax
The ads popped up Saturday afternoon, saying the owner of a Jacksonville home was forced to leave the area suddenly and his belongings, including a horse, were free for the taking, said Jackson County sheriff’s Detective Sgt. Colin Fagan.
General note to the world “Please take all my stuff - really!” is most likely not a legitimate ad when the stuff has some actual value and is not the equivalent of what’s left over after a yard sale.
Living creatures that cannot be picked up for free at the humane society shelter should be included in the above indicator of a hoax… a horse definitely meets that criteria.
In all honesty, it isn’t Craigslist’s fault, of course, that crazies hang out there any more than it’s a bus station’s fault that they hang out there. It’s just that one had hoped that having an internet connection and the ability to read might be an indicator of a slightly more humane human status than this story indicates. They sound like the creatures Will Smith’s character battled in I AM LEGEND. Except these didn’t wait till dark to come out.
