This has been happening with greater frequency lately. Craig’s List needs to wise up.
wow
If you read an ad like that, wouldn’t you immediately call the police?
Sounds more like a crime.
It could be an ad placed by the 1st burglar to provide cover.
Craig’s List is an internet freak show.
the amoral virtual community at work.
In the fifties a friend of my father hired a crew of demolishers to remove a frame house and it’s furnishings while the owners were out of town.
When the owners returned to that address there was only a bare, dirt patch in the middle of a grass lot.
I got a TV.
PING...........
You DO NOT enter private property which YOU DO NOT OWN and steal somebody’s stuff. There are laws against that. Salisbury ought to get him a good lawyer and sue Craigslist

The first folks to show up had to have broken into the house, if the man was out of town. The idea that someone wanted to have some ‘cover’ for a burglary sounds about right.
Whoever placed the ad has to know the owner. The owner probably could provide the police with a short list of suspects.
Create something that doesn’t force people to take responsibility for their actions, and millions of people will use it irresponsibly.
This will lead to laws forcing posters to use their real names.
Stuff like this is not that uncommon.
A few years ago a neighbor beat up his wife and disappeared. (The cops came round my front door looking for him). When his wife came home from work later, she found a crew packing up the contents of her house - they had been sold by the husband. The guy had a legal contract and everything - after all, the husband had lived there several years and told them the stuff was his. The crew wasn’t backing down - as far as they were concerned, they bought the contents in good faith.
The wife worked out an agreement - the crew left some furniture that was special to her, her personal things, and the contents of the kids rooms.
I’d look at my enemies for the person who placed the ad.
The property owner should have met the Craigslist looters with a Mossberg.
