I think this is fake but if it’s not, it’s funny that his camera is too shitty to get license plates. You’d think he’d correct that. Could it be that it’s all fake and the cameras are there for show?

So if I want to steal my neighbor’s lawn mower I can just post an ad for a free lawnmower on Craig’s list first and they can’t arrest me for possession of stolen property? Why haven’t more thieves thought of this. I’m thinking of picking up some free gold from my local pawn shop.

Dude it's just called fraud. Yes you can commit fraud if you want. And if you don't get caught, I hope you're sitting down. There's no consequences.

I mean maybe ? But why not just steal it then? At least then there's no internet trail to you you'd have to cover up woth vpns or whatever.

just go through the scenario. I have a truck with fake license plates or covered up. I wear a face diaper mask and Hoodie I steal some shit off people's lawn. That seems pretty impossible to track too. Have you ever had shit stolen from your car or yard? When have the cops every done anything or caught the person lol.

If you're just not a retard you can do petty crimes probably for your whole life and never get caught.

No. I don't see the giant legal loophole you're talking about. I'll try to be clearer:
  • Placing a fake Craigslist ad to get people to take the belongings of others is a crime. You're committing fraud and conspiracy
  • In your example about your neighbor's lawnmower, you are placing the ad and you are responding to the ad that you know to be fake. That's the crime. Fraud and conspiracy and theft
  • Your bicycle example: "If I see a bicycle I like someone can post a Craig’s list ad and I can use that as my defense?" Who is placing the ad? You? Are you telling a friend to place it? Either way, you know the ad is fake and was placed with the intent of stealing the bike. That's a crime. Same as above
  • Your rape example is ridiculous because you're committing rape. The Craigslist part is irrelevant because you're raping someone (which is a crime)
I don't understand what you're trying to say here. These random people saw a Craigslist ad for free patio furniture. They responded to it (assuming it was real; not sure if they intetacted with someone pretending to be Pat or not) and took the free patio furniture. What crime have they committed?

We both know it is a crime, my question is; if you you got caught with stolen property and showed the ad to the cops would they still press charges? If no, then you have a giant loophole.

If you got caught. Could you show the ad to the cops to avoid getting arrested? I don’t know how they’d deal with that.

Like I said, you are a fucking moron. Nobody takes you seriously unless you are pretending to care about jesus or some nonsense. We both know you have no education, we both know you are a midget and everyone knows you are stupid. How about you leave the legal conversation to people who might understand the law?

I liked it more when you didn’t bother to know who anyone is or any characteristics about them. The general disdain and disrespect to not even care who you were arguing with was a PFG bit.

I’m telling JebJoh to go back to the way he USTA be!

"Burden of proof" dude. You would have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the person who took the item being advertised knew it was a scam and intentionally took it anyway. As long as they're not breaking the law in the first place (as in your crafty rape idea) they don't need to prove their innocence.

I’m also pretty sure there’s some bullshit about the request being reasonable.

IE you can’t see a post that says EVERYTHING IN THE APPLE STORE TODAY IS FREE JUST WALK OUT WITH IT AND IGNORE STORE SECURITY

And then go do that.

But an ad that says I’m moving and I don’t want this furniture? That’s commonplace and reasonable.

Everyone in the thread is agreeing with me here. Even quasi came out of retirement to explain how stupid your question is. Nice education, faggot.

Once? Probably not if you just returned the shit. Maybe if they or the DA was pissed, had a political agenda during elections or something.

By the second time probably. Could you hire a lawyer, pay 10-20 times whatever the items were worth and get out of it? yeah maybe. Do you want to trust a jury though? I think it's state by state but most states don't require a public defender for misdemeanors. Commit felony theft or fraud and trust your chances with the jury? I don't think it's worth it. There's easier crimes to make money.


The thing is there's plenty of little like word logic games you can play and the judge doesn't have to give a shit. Yes technically maybe you can be like "aha your honor you see I've trapped you in a logical paradox" and a jury isn't going to understand shit. What are you going to do send a writ to the Supreme Court?

Yeah you can be steadfast and be like you have no proof coppahs hahaha. But they can lie and shit and say they have your ip of the ad or whatever.
