I am aware of three murders directly related to Craig's list in the past two years. One involved an ad selling a '66 Mustang for cash where the seller took the money and shot the couple who drove down to see the non-existent car. Another was a local man murdered when the killer answered the ad for a motorcycle and shot the seller and stole the bike. The last involved the son of a late friend who was shot in the back of the head by the test driver of his Toyota Tacoma. He died 10 years after his father Bill, a duck hunting buddy, was shot and killed by his brother-in-law.
There are municipality police departments all over the country which welcome Craig's List transactions in their parking lots as a result of similar incidents. Caveat Emptor. Gil
