AN ACTUAL CRAIG'S LIST PERSONALS AD
To the Guy Who Tried to Mug Me in Downtown Savannah night before last.
Date: 2010-09-27, 1:43 a.m. E.S.T.

I was the guy wearing the black Burberry jacket that you demanded that I hand over, shortly after you pulled the knife on me and my girlfriend, threatening our lives. You also asked for my girlfriend's purse and earrings. [b][color=black].

Dumb ad if true, lots of crimes were committed by the person placing the ad, and mentioning where and when the crime took place, the gun purchase and the fact that he was a Marine really helps narrow who he may be.

Could be serving some time here for what he did, if caught.

The call threatening the President would intensify the search for him, may be sorry he placed this.

Really, who'd be dumb enough to admit to breaking all of those laws.

What, do you think that taking the wallet of a robber, then spending that money would be legal? Well its not, duh.

There are other cases out there where people have defended themselves and their homes with firearms without making stupid crap up.

Really, investigate your sources.

It is most certainly false, but there are a lot of possible felonies in there, if true.

Default Tell Snopes to stop with the pop-ups--

I would go there more often if they didn't have so many dang pop-ups and spam hit me.

Nice story and we can dream the bad guys are last sometimes, can't we?
