I buy and sell on craigslist but some years ago I had a very unnerving meeting with a man wanting to buy the item I had listed....
Something was really off and my gut instincts screamed that I was in danger. The guy was pis*ed that I had brought my large dog along with me and that she was actually able to stick her whole body out the window of my truck. He wouldn’t close the deal and kept walking around me making me very nervous. He didn’t seem the least interested in the item at all.I finally walked towards the drivers door, opened it and abruptly said I had to go as I was on a scheduled trip and got outta there. He didn’t buy the item but I didn’t care.
When I got to my destination and spoke with a family member telling them what had happened I got a lecture on the fact that I was not familiar with the area I had just been in and that was a problem. Apparently there had been many women who had gone missing in the area over the last several years. My family convinced me to contact the police in that area and give them all the details about the guy and his car and name, etc. I don’t know who that guy was but I believe he was dangerous.
Needless to say- I am more careful because of that incident.
I hope they find this couple safe.

UPDATE......
Suspect in custody in Craigslist case of missing elderly Georgia couple
I’m surprised at the number of people who will meet someone on CL in order to have sex.
Really? They can’t see how that might be a problem?
