Add to the list of Craigslist crimes the Theft of my truck. It was stolen a few years ago. It was found stripped and abandoned in one of the worst parts of Dallas. Since it was in some ways unique I was able to find someone selling my parts on craigslist. Getting that info to the DPD was VERY tough but eventually I convinced a guy that it was my stuff and I could prove it and they busted the kid. Didn't get him for stealing the truck simply for possession of stolen property. The kicker is they searched his house and found evidence linking him to lots of other crimes.. He made his living stealing stuff and selling it on CL. With a really long rap sheet and 7 more charges from this, he STILL was offered probation.

I dont buy stuff from CL for that reason .. to make it gun related, the theft did prompt me to get my CHL and I had a buddy sit in my house with his gun while i dealt with the cops for hours that night and got a taxi ride home
