Yeah right just come get the trampoline, actually they mean just come get shot or arrested for stealing and tresspassing. They don't want you too knock because it's not theirs or it's their ex's

LOL!! Reminds me of the guy who advertised to come cut down his trees for free firewood (and of course, it wasn't his property).

I was looking though Craigslist for a used item. I emailed back regarding one, asking what the brand & model number was. He emailed me back the info & the price. When I Googled about it, it turned out he was charging $100 more than for a brand new one from the manufacturer. I almost felt like writing back, "You mean it's this one here?" and posting a link to the manufacturer's one.

Wow, that would never have occurred to me! I'm glad somebody posted that because I would have taken the person at their word.

How do you get a receipt by someone who leaves it outside and tells you not to knock?

Yeah, wasn't there a lady a couple of months ago who advertised a free basketball hoop on craigslist--"do not knock, just take," she posted? The neighbor wanted to sue her for theft or something.

How did he know it was her post? The smart thing would've been, to make the posting from an internet cafe or public library where they can't track down who made the Craigslist post.

And, no, I am not advocating doing such a thing with your neighbors' possesions - no matter how annoying they are.
