My favorite part is that all the people had print outs of the Craigslist posting as "proof" - as if that someone legalized and legitimized the whole affair.
The scary part is that if Mr. Fagan were a man easily pushed to violence, things could have gotten ugly very quickly. If he had a gun on him and decided to forcibly prevent the ransacking of his house... Yikes.
With the success of this hoax, I would not be the least bit surprised to see copy cat Craiglist ads popping up in the near future.
Had Mr Fagan been prone to violence, I suspect he'd still be fuming, as I imagine his guns would also have been stolen.
