Craigslist(less)

So nobody here's talking about the big story cited by Matt Lauer this morning as "breaking news from Tacoma, Washington". Craigslist prank / looting Katrina-style / utter chaos that took place in some poor house a couple days ago in Tacoma? Perhaps someone knows where to find this house? I'd love to get a photo, as dimented and sad as that may sound. Poor lady. I've never liked Craigslist. |

I have to say, I really like Craigslist, but it works on the honor's system, and can be easily abused. This is the first time I've ever heard of it going so horribly awry. |

At least no one got shot. |
