Foreclosed family watched helplessly as craigslist crowds strip house bare (VIDEO)
Submitted by fonzdrew on Fri, 10/26/2012 - 00:43WOODSTOCK, Ga. -- A family in Woodstock, who just lost their home of 20 years to foreclosure and are preparing to move out, lost even more on Wednesday.
And it was because of what they triggered when they posted a craigslist ad Tuesday night.
Their online post was just a well-meaning ad for a giveaway in their driveway outside the small house, a giveaway scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. Wednesday.
But big crowds showed up and ended up taking practically everything inside the house, too.
Wednesday night, Michael Vercher walked 11Alive's Jon Shirek through his family's almost empty soon-to-be former home.

ya could be publicity stunt
the husband looks like he can't get hired as a burger flipper with his ugly tattoo and ear piercings
That SUCKS!
Wow!!!
Me thinks this is a publicity
stunt for charity. Why?
1st: who writes an add like that expecting different results?
2nd: Why not lock the door?
3rd: Why not call the authorities to report a burglary at the time?
4th: Why not use force to remove them?
5th: Why not take pics of license plates so the police know where my property went?
6th: What do they stand to gain?
Here is the way I see it: Family loses house, writes CL Ad stating "Everything for free." When people come to pick up the free stuff, take pictures, lots of pictures. Then call the media and tell them what happened. Tell them how the people were mistaken with the ad, and hopefully people will feel pity and send some money their way, hopefully enough to pay the mortgage. <== jumping to conclusions I know, but I just cannot see a roving pack of people forcing themselves into my house without my consent taking my belongings w/o my consent with out somebody going to the hospital<=== that is of course unless I had an ulterior motive. Wouldn't surprise me if the police find one of the "burgles" and he/she says "the let me in and told me to take what ever I wanted."

Didn't think about that. You could be right.
This is a tough economy,
some will risk everything to keep the life they are used to. And I misspelled "burglars."(just an FYI to the gwamma Nazi's) I like to give people the benefit of the doubt, but this just seems too fishy.

You forgot to use your taser on him! Quick, he is not resisting, slam him to the ground, tase him, and beat him. Then get suspended with pay, so you can take a couple months vacation while they do an internal investigation, then find out you were in the right.
