http://imagereload.com An unoccupied rental house in Tacoma, Wash., was plundered to its moorings after someone apparently impersonating the landlord posted a too-good-go-be-true ad on Craigslist inviting people to take anything they wanted.

Neighbors told NBC affiliate KING-TV of Seattle that strangers hauled off virtually everything last weekend — appliances, light fixtures, the front door and even, as cliched as it sounds, the kitchen sink.

It was not immediately clear Thursday how big a role the ad — which invited Craigslist users to "help yourself to anything on the property" — played in the ransacking of the house, whose tenant had recently been evicted.

  • Wow, this is sad. Im surprised people would do that, and more surprised that neighbors didnt try to stop them.

  • That's really sad. I have had horrific tenants that did the same thing to me... but that was MY fault for not screening people. That this type of thing can happen is FRIGHTENING!! I hope they catch the people who did this. I am so sorry this happened to you.

  • well did she get the subpoena? I hate it when news people leave me hanging, that's why I don't watch the news and live on youtube instead.

  • Websites like Craigslist need to step up. Their product is used by scum to commit acts of destruction and/or violence against other persons. Hand over information to law enforcement a couple of times.....and the scum will stop making use of websites to pull off crap like this.

  • damn

  • the more the reason to buy a gun and shoot trespassers ^.^

  • Well, for one. Get a fucking search warrant to find out who did it. secondly, call your insurance agent and basically get yourself a boat load of cash. In the end.....what a clever idea!

  • Damn, and I thought bait and switch was bad.
