A couple is still shaken up after they were robbed at gunpoint in a Lenexa neighborhood when trying to check out a car they found on Craigslist.

The Petersons went to the Lenexa home on Hauser Street and knocked on the door, but nobody answered. They said it looked as though nobody lived in the house. Then, a little black car pulled up and three people robbed them.

99% of my dealings on CL have been good and no real heartburn. Better than some rounds of Ebay.

If it ain't your first rodeo, you can tell a scammer when you see them. These people live among us. They have little to do with Craigslist. It has to do with idiots who live in society.

Sounds like you know what you're doing out there in the real world. Be careful.

I learned a few hard lessons in my youth about being ripped off.

My rules for CL are basic, common sense, and firm. Always daylight, public places, a an extra body with a friend.

Don’t know where on Hauser it was but much of Lenexa is not a bad neighborhood. As to CCW, we do have it, so victim could have armed himself.

These are just tax collectors, collecting back taxes owed by whitie, for THE FOREIGNER and his anti american regime.

In Omaha the police recommend meeting at the station for Craigslist transactions. I put that in my listings that the transaction must take place their or at the sheriff’s office.

“Let me guess. It involved guns and Bibles.

I resent that!

Sorry. I meant it as a compliment. :-(
