A landlord in Tacoma, Washington, found out that her house had been stripped bare after a fake ad was placed on Craigslist inviting people to "take whatever they wanted for free."

    So…all I have to do to legally rob a house is post an ad on craigslist saying that I’m welcome to come inside and take everything?

    I don’t know whose dumber, the people who robbed her blind, the person leaving their door unlocked, or trying to blame this on a craigslist prank.
