This guy must be very brave. He had no idea whether people would turn up, how many would turn up, if their costumes would be reliable or how they'd act. Nothing could be planned yet he pulled it off impeccably. wow!

I agree, good for him. It's a drop in the bucket, much less damaging than the bailout bill. Government is the real criminal force, throughout history, but today especially.

craigslist is only good for 2 things, finding equipment for my band and finding phone numbers to prank call people.

i hope he was good enough with computers to make sure nobody knows who set up that craigslist ad. I always wonder if you keep money that you steal or take it to your bank to deposit it...

The people who responded to this ad are probably the same people who bought Justin Timberlake's sandwich off of eBay.

I thought the really interesting part was that he got away from the cops in an inner tube floating down the river. He's damn lucky the weather was still permitting here in the NW, otherwise we'd have found his hypothermic ass somewhere downstream...

You know the economy is bad when you have people responding to a craigslist ad without researching into it first. Pretty genius I have to say. It may very well be the next big Hollywood movie. Anyone want to help me make it?

Good for him? Way to support the welfare of society. You wouldn't be saying 'good for him' if it was your stuff that he stole. If you would say 'good for him', then can you just give me your TV?
