Nichole Marie Blackwell, 28, posted an ad on Craigslist in March inviting users to come to the Tacoma, Wash., home of her aunt Laurie Raye and take what you want. Everything is free. Please help yourself to anything on the property. According to Jim Buckmaster, C.E.O. of Craigslist, the ad was up for less than two hours before users flagged it as false. But that was plenty of time for carloads of Craigslisters to arrive at Rayes unlocked house, from which Blackwells mother had recently been evicted, and haul off pretty much everything, down to the front door and the baseboards and the kitchen sink.

I use Craigslist often and am a huge supporter of it but I have never actually thought about how dangerous it can be.
This is another case of how unsafe it can be that just happened in October. A Nanny who posted on Craigslist was found dead in the trunk of a car.
Just awful...Be Safe PEOPLE!!

Generally I have not had any bad experiences with Craigslist, however I can take from what Woody said.
"I never actually thought of how dangerous it can be."
However, I think that people need to use some common sense and treat these ads as you would any classified ad from the newspaper. Just because they are posting their ad on the Internet doesn't make the person posting any more honest or less dangerous than a person at the other end of a newspaper classified ad.
Never meet anyone alone, and if you have to, make sure that somebody else knows about where you will be and when to check in with you.
Dating on Craigslist must be absolutely terrifying!
