Woman's House Robbed After Fake Craigslist Post

flanksteak writes "The Seattle Times is reporting that a woman in nearby Tacoma had her rental property stripped of almost everything after someone posted a fake Craigslist announcement that everything in the house could be hauled away no questions asked. When contacted, Craigslist said they would release data about the poster if they were issued a subpoena."

Looking at your number, you're apparently fairly new here. So let me help you.

One of the basic rules in the Slashdot community is its not a crime unless someone has violated the GPL. Anyone who violates the GPL should be boiled in oil, burned at the stake, and then hanged, in that order.

Its okay to violate any other laws, so long as you think you did it for a good reason. And its especially cool to rip off the IP of large corporations (unless the corporation is Apple), although that doesn't apply in this particular case. Anyone who violates laws that do not involve the GPL should be set free immediately so that we can make them in to a hero.
