Mark D Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Watching this unfold and feeling sick to my stomach. Just saw online that they've found an suv submerged. Senseless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgeb4ya Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Same thing happened kinda near here ( Tacoma ) a few years ago. A husband was murdered in front of the wife and two young kids for $5000.00 worth of jewelry. Craigslist is not safe IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plymouthcranbrook Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) I will never for any reason even think about looking into a Craigslist ad. My neighbor has bought cars through them and pooh-poohs my concerns but not for me. Edited January 28, 2015 by plymouthcranbrook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis_MN Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Had to chime in with my favorite Craigslist story. Back about 4 or 5 years ago I was on the hunt for a Jeep Cheorkee Rear end for my Pilothouse Pickup. I spotted one on the Minneapolis Craigslist and tried to get in touch with the guy but he finally sent me a text that it was still available so I called him and he answered this time. This was a $100 rear end with disk brakes but it had a bad pinion bearing. So we arranged to meet at a spot of his choosing in Elk River. I called my 84 year old neighbor to see if I could borrow his trailer and would he like to come along for the ride. Just a couple of days before, some one in South Minneapolis was selling his car and the perps took him out for a test ride and shot him and took off with the car. So we met up at a gas station and traded a rear end for a 100 dollar bill. I told my 84 year old neighbor later that I took him along as a body guard!

Captain Neon Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 A co-worker of mine always brings his pistol whenever he goes to look at a car or parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
