COME AND TAKE WHAT YOU WANT, IT'S ALL FREE

Hahaha! It's nice to see that this kind of thing doesn't just happen in SA, although here you would not have to place an ad - it just happens!

Come and take what you want, it's all free...


Tacoma - Everything including the kitchen sink was stripped from a rental home after an Internet classified ad invited people to take whatever they wanted for free. "Everything is free"
But the landlord says the ad, posted last weekend on the craigslist website, was fake. "In the ad, it said come and take what you want. Everything is free," Laurie Raye told Seattle's KING-TV. Including the sink
Raye had cleaned out the rental after evicting a tenant. After the ad appeared, the property was stripped of the sink, light fixtures and the hot water heater. Even the front door and a vinyl window were pilfered, Raye said.


Neighbours said they saw strangers hauling items away, apparently looking for salvage material. The ad has since been pulled from the website. Raye said craigslist told her it would need a subpoena or search warrant to release information about who posted the ad. Craigslist officials did not immediately respond Thursday to a request for comment. - Sapa-AP
