Sorry to sound like Mr. Negative, but you're a lot more trusting than I would ever be with Craigslist, a complete stranger, and $300.

Check out this story from today:

Craigslist hoax victim gets some belongings back

06:03 PM PDT on Monday, March 24, 2008

JACKSONVILLE, Ore. -- Police say belongings removed from a Southern Oregon man's property have begun slowly reappearing at his home, a day after a pair of hoax ads on Craigslist cost Robert Salisbury much of what he owned.

The ads popped up Saturday afternoon, saying the owner of a Jacksonville home was forced to leave the area suddenly and his belongings, including a horse, were free for the taking, said Jackson County Sheriff's Detective Sgt. Colin Fagan.

But the ads were a hoax. Robert Salisbury had no plans to leave.
