Dozens of people descended on Robert Salisbury's Oregon home after ads posted on Craigslist Saturday said his belongings -- including his horse -- were free for the taking. But the ads were a hoax. When Salisbury returned home, some people refused to stop taking his things. The Jackson County Sheriff's office is inviting people to return the goods no questions asked. Those who don't, it says, will be "part of the theft case."

I have gotten a couple of jobs from Craig's list, so I guess I would have believed that incredible yard sale ad.

I hate Medford. I left almost 10 years ago and it has not improved one bit.

What is heck is a Craiglist ad???

halli620 01:50:54 PM Apr 02 2008

Who put the ad up? Aren't they responsible too? I really can't believe that people would refuse to stop taking his things when he got home. How awful.

Did the cops ever find out who did this to him?

ummyeahok 12:19:40 PM Apr 02 2008

If he wasn't home, did he leave his doors unlocked? Did hey break in?

these craigs list buffoons are all leftist cretans. go get a job and quit taking things from others. you DON'T deserve it.

Wow. Well 1) they must be f---ing idiots to begin with, and 2) I would beat the hell out of every last one of those people. I am 5'11" and 185 lbs and if I couldn't whip their asses I'd shoot them for trespassing. I mean damn, what is wrong with some people?

What kind of a-h*le keeps taking something after the owner tells them to stop? Are we really that close to "Lord of the Flies?" We need to have a law justifying shooting people who do not desist immediately upon finding out it was a prank. Yes, shoot them if they are that lawless. Why should the innocent victim be the one to pay? Often they can't, and are all but ruined by theft of things needed for their daily existence.
