Craigslist Robbery Update

Thanks to Trench at MyCrimeSpace for the update.  Cops in Tacoma have busted a woman who listed her ex-landlords home on Craigslist saying that it was being demolished and everything in it was free for the taking.  My original story on this is here.

Why did she do it?  Besides that she was a bitch?  From the SeattleTimes here:

Nichole Blackwell, 28, was charged with second-degree burglary, malicious mischief and criminal impersonation for allegedly posting an ad that read, “Moving out … House being demolished. Come and take whatever you want, nothing is off limits,” on the online classifieds Web site, according to charging documents from Pierce County Superior Court.

Nearly everything that wasn’t bolted down — and some stuff that was — was taken.

People, thinking that they could remove whatever they wanted, grabbed the refrigerator, front door and kitchen sink, among other things, according to the documents.

Blackwell disliked Raye and was particularly upset because Raye had recently evicted Blackwell’s mother from the house.  On March 24, Blackwell went with her mom to get some items from the home and returned home angry about how Raye was treating family members, so she posted the ad on Craigslist, according to court documents.

So how it will work now is Raye’s homeowners’ insurance company will sue the skin off of Blackwell and her family to recover damages to the property.  And I hope she goes to jail for a long time.
