Craigslist hoax not a hoax
Remember when I wrote that post about Hoax Craigslist ads? Well, turns out, the police say it wasn’t a hoax after all. What apparently happened was a couple in the area had stolen some horsing gear from the gentleman and to cover it up, they made the craigslist ad. That’s right folks, to cover up their own crime, they made everyone else come and take stuff. How crazy is this? I have to admit, it’s pretty sneaky, but they probably needed to cover it up a bit better since they got caught.
Sadly enough, the gentleman has not received all his items back. I’m still floored that people thought it must be real because it’s on the internet. It just makes me sick!
