For sure!
Between Craigslist and eBay...I sure have met some INTERESTING people, no doubt. No one really mean, but a high percentage of weird and stupid people. Someone who's been in complete human isolation for YEARS decides they need some cash. And THEY always seem to be selling what I'm looking for! lol
When we moved to the new-to-us house a month or so ago, we instilled the rule of
"No craigslist people at the house...ever". Not just because I'm met some weirdoes, but because I've heard too many recent stories of people having garage sales or showing Craiglist parts to people...and then a day or two later, they get their garage broken into and looted. And I isolate them because I don't want any weirdoes around my wife and kids.
A few weeks ago, my friend's dad was holding a running tool sale for an old lady who's 50-yr-old mechanic son committed suicide. Sad story since she lived with him so he could support and take care of her. During the 2nd week of the sale, someone broke into the old lady's garage and took anything / everything made of copper/brass/aluminum: clipped the chords off all the power tools/lights/etc, broke old speakers open for the magnets, cut hoses off torch heads and took only torches, killed the power at the breakerbox and literally hatcheted the friggin' wiring and took whatever they could reach. Only items they actually took were a couple of old heavy, heavy drills that had heavy aluminum housings and a pair of old-school torque wrenches. And they didn't take any of the 100's of hand tools, table saw, plastic housing power tools...just took copper and aluminum. It put the old lady into a spiral of depression and she, too, tried to committ suicide.
Effing makes me sick!!!!
