Even if it did strike me as strange, people do strange things. And free is free.

I personally would think twice, but sadly, I think most people just go "it's free, hella sweet!" and go for it.

Oh, I understand going. I might have gone, thinking it was odd... But when someone that says he's the owner shows up, starts screaming that I was robbing him and to put his stuff down? I think that would've gotten me to call the cops to sort this out; not yell at the guy, show him a printout, and take the stuff because it said so on the Internet. That's the part I didn't get.

That said... boy, someone does not like him to post that up on craigslist to get him robbed.

People have entitlement issues. They would prefer to think a printout of a craigslist ad outranks the actual property owner.

That's sad. I'd return it personally but I doubt a lot of others will. :( Poor guy.
