" JACKSONVILLE, Ore. -- Police say belongings removed from a Southern Oregon man's property have begun slowly reappearing at his home, a day after a pair of hoax ads on Craigslist cost Robert Salisbury much of what he owned. Raw: Scene video 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. But the ads were a hoax. Robert Salisbury had no plans to leave. The independent contractor was at Emigrant Lake when he got a call from a woman who had stopped by his house to claim his horse.

"I informed them I was the owner, but they refused to give the stuff back," Salisbury said. "They showed me the Craigslist printout and told me they had the right to do what they did." "

3/25/2008 11:29:01 AM

that's not as bad, though.


they just took a sink and the front door.

3/25/2008 11:29:40 AM

Craigslist is serious business. I know a guy that used to meet people over Craigslist for one night stands all the time. I don't see how he didn't get robbed or something. I feel a little nervous just meeting someone to trade/sell video games over Craigslist.

3/25/2008 11:35:56 AM

Yeah, a few of the people I met from there through selling stuff were sketchy as hell. Though one of my friends sells stuff on there all the time and she says she's never met anyone weird.

that is so far from a prank it isn't even funny

3/25/2008 11:42:11 AM

Where was the CL prank where the guy put a picture of a girl and a very lurid ad in the casual encounters section and then posted every email (pictures and contact info included) that he received on his blog?

only thing i've ever gotten off craigslist i made him bring it to havanas

3/25/2008 11:46:42 AM

yeah, i'd probably meet in like a mcdonalds or something to do craigslist business

3/25/2008 11:47:42 AM

this prank doesnt sound as 'ultimate' as the old 'lure a woman to meet you on craigslist, then kill her and hack up her body' prank

3/25/2008 11:48:28 AM

i meet ppl at waffle house etc so if the shit goes down, the cook has a strap and can back me up

3/25/2008 11:48:32 AM

I'm pretty sure this has happened before.

I'd get their license plate and tell them they better take my stuff home or it's going to be a legal ass beating followed by a physical ass beating.

3/25/2008 11:49:20 AM

hahaha,

what were those 30 ppl thinking?

breaking into someones home and start taking everything up

3/25/2008 11:53:07 AM

Didn't something similar happen to a woman after somebody posted as her and talked about how much she loved rape fantasy?

3/25/2008 11:56:53 AM

ive only had one weird experience with craigslist...
my roomate and I went out to apex to look at some furniture for our apt. it wasnt really in as good of condition as he described, so we do the polite thing and say we are gona go home and think about it. well his roomate walks in with a 40 and come up to me and says hey man do you think you could give me a ride up to waffle house, my girls car is broke down. i say well we got other things to do today, but he insists. so we take him up to the waffle house and sure enough there is a broken down blue pedo van. this big black dude gets out and says he thinks his battery is dead and tells me to pull up in front. well then this white crack whore with a chiuaua gets out of the back of the van an starts yellin bout some shit. i tell him i gotta go and the roomate of the other kid is like no man, stay for a little bit longer.... i get in my car and he hops in and is like dude just take me up to the gas station so i can use the phone, im like wtf. so i take him up to the gas station and hes like wait while i go in.... and thats when i whistled for a cab and when it came near the licensplate said fresh and had a dice in the mirror If anything I could say that this cab was rare but I thought now forget it, yo home to bel-air
