Craigslist Thieves Caught
The two who posted a Craiglist ad saying that anyone could take what they wanted from a home in Oregon have been tracked down and arrested by following their IP address. The stunt was a diversion to steal two horses.
It’s nice to see that internet crime doesn’t pay. Unfortunately, it’s also troubling to read this article and realize that had this couple simply used an anonymizing service, a proxy chain, an internet cafe, or a TOR node, there would have been no way to catch them from what they posted on Craigslist.
