TACOMA, Wash. (AP) - A Tacoma woman says her rental house was stripped after someone placed a fake ad on Craigslist saying anyone could take anything they wanted for free.

People responding to the Internet listing took doors and windows, light fixtures, and even the kitchen sink.

Laurie Raye said she recently evicted a tenant from the house. Raye said those with Craigslist told her she would need a subpoena to find out who placed the ad.

Craigslist did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Associated Press.

RACK Craigslist for making the posters here not seem like such freaking degenerates.


It seems like every time I post some fucked up news of the U&L, it comes from Tacoma. Do the right thing, Mt Rainier.

I'm gonna have to RACK the evicted renter (without knowing why he/she was actually evicted) for originality in exacting revenge.

And, I'll go ahead and UNRACK the people of Tacoma for thinking they could actually just go and strip a vacant house because somebody on Craigslist said they could. What's the average IQ up there anyway?

If not for the square head deck screws used, they would have taken the roof.

Tacoma?

They tried to determine this once, but discovered that few people in Tacoma could actually spell "IQ," so they scrapped the study.

I lived in Tacoma in my teenage years. At 13 years old I had a guy try to steal my skateboard right in front of my house. That night my dad went to his friend Carl's house and used his woodworking equipment to make a billy club. It was a 2" x 16" tapered white pine shaft with the tip drilled out and filled with molten lead. I carried it tucked up the sleeve of my coat for the rest of our time living on Hilltop.

I have some interesting stories about Hilltop in the late 80's. Wanna hear some? Do I care what you want?

I was walking down Ainsworth Street with some Samoan friends when a gang skirmish broke in the middle of the intersection of Cushman and 17th, I think. Dozens of shots were fired, we hid behind a house. When the commotion subsided we approached the intersection and nobody was around. One of the factions left a huge chrome colored boom box in the middle of the street blasting out some rap. It was raining so in the best interest of this 25 pound precision instrument of sound, my bro Hyrum, calmly walked across the street, picked up the radio and smoothly kept on walking. There were backlit plastic-housed instruments with needles all over the thing and for years they had water in them from the rain.

Gotta run for a few. Tell ya some more later.

Much better management on the dual browsers today, Dins.

We've swapped Tacoma stories before.


I lived in Tacoma for two days a week as a teen. Tacoma can be a little on the rough side, for sure. Hell, they have Crips, Bloods, abd the military. Back in those days, the Army/Air Force guys formed their own freaking gang(I had the pleasure of being right up the street during the legenday Tacoma Mall Shootout...1985, I think).


Worst crime rate in the U&L, by far.

what kinda tool makes a neegah beetah out of white pine? sheeesh. hickory is the thing to use if you can find it. Oak'll do though. If you absolutely have to use a soft wood because your sorry ass dull tools can't handle anything hard, syp (southern yellow pine) or fir would serve you better than sorry ass white pine.

who gives a fuck?

Bullcrap. They're all your stories. You just post them under two different nicknames. Everybody knows that.


I lived just a couple blocks from where the Army Rangers were having a shindig cookout thingy on Ash St. when the gang bangers showed up. Somewhere around 300 rounds of ammo were expended and no one was injured. Good work, Rangers.



Our neighbor through the alley watched a gang banger get shot to death next door to him. Apparently dude's next door neighbor was pumping manseed into a gang banger's hottie. Ganger starts beating the door with a ball peen hammer and yelling all kinds of threats. Troy, our neighbor, opened his front door and peeked out. Nobody else on the block opened their door. They'd all lived there long enough to know better. Troy is watching the door take a beating when suddenly it opened and a twelve gauge shotgun blast threw the gang banger dude off the porch, past the sidewalk, and halfway into the street. The 6shot hit dude under the chin and turned the crown of his head inside out. Death was instant. The cops showed up and cleaned the scene. Never asked anyone on the block a single question. Gang banger dude had gang markings on him and the directive at the time was if a gang member gets killed, clean the scene, and move on to more important things.


Troy suffered severely for what he witnessed. He had nightmares like a Vietnam Vet. His wife divorced him which was a pity cuz she was hot. Short, blonde, and DD. He lost his regular job and took a gig as a hod carrier. He couldn't eat cuz everything looked like splattered brains and with the heavy labor of hod carrying he just wasted away. Went from 6'4" and 230 to probably 170 in two months. One day he asked my dad to check on his dog every few days. If the dog looked like it wasn't being fed, don't come into the house. Just call the cops and have them bring the coroner.


Did I mention that the historical society was all over the place? You couldn't build or tear down anything in that area without HS approval. Good call, Historical Nazis, preserve things just the way they are cuz darn it they're just so freaking wonderful. Just like paleontologists think old shit is priceless just because it's old. News flash: It's still shit.

Allegedly the hottie that was spreading for Troy's neighbor. Thanks for asking such an appropriate question.

Don't be so quick to judge, mv...


I get traumatized just driving through Taroma.

"When trolling goes too far"...and not a single InkyDave reset? SC, heal thyself

Do the residents of Tacoma smell that nasty funk from the paper mill in Puget Sound? I hated that part of the drive from Sea-Tac to the Bangor sub base above Bremerton.

Y2K and I were just talking about the inkydave deal a few days ago. I was standing there watching this AIM harassment deal go down

His daughter was 12 y/o back then and was looking back at us wondering WTF? Jack and I were like, "Is this guy fucking serious?!?!?"

The ensuing days of pounding inky was a lot of fun. What a fucking freak! He melted hard.

Crazy times !!

Like they smell anything over their own stench.

I think the main offending mill is gone these days. Not sure...I try to avoid Tacoma, as I served my sentence there. I guess I did some work there in the last couple of years, but I was too drunk to remember much...hung out at that bigass casino they built there, and had my head on a swivel staggering back to the hotel.

What a pretty place to build such a shithole.

Fucking craigslist...

I wanted to buy these ramps for my semi on there. I call dude up and leave message..AND I e mail him telling him I will take the ramps at the advertised price and to call me back.

This Russian cocksucker calls me back and says his OL is in the hospital having baby and he can't meet me for a day.. same story next day and the next. I call him up and say look..no bodies OL stays in the hospital for 3 days having a kid anymore, lets do this deal now.

Russian cocksucker says that he had the ramps on E bay and they were bought on a sold on a buy it now auction...I am sitting at my computer and pull it up and sure nuff there they were , priced and sold at twice what he had on CL, and what I had agreed to, and emailed him.

So I start in on him to see how mad I can get him.. I call him a fucking no good cheating lying cocksucking Euro bastard and I am going to sue him and and e mail e bay and CL, (which I did do), and he says you no talk to me that.. and I just keep telling him to go fuck himself...he finally hangs up on me...

CL and e bay are just so great for scams....

and you should have seen this spic run when he came looking for work and went by the bedroom window looking for somebody and the OL pointed her lady Smith .357 at him and told him to get the fuck out of there...which he did with 2 wolf malamutes trying to eat his greasy ass... mother fucker got about 5 steps and one of those mutts would tag his ass and the OL just kept letting them do it until he was about 1/8 mile down the road.

Every once in a while when I'm about a mile north of the T-Dome I'll smell something funky. But that's pretty rare.

Probably just your own upper lip.

BWHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!

Wait a minute Dins... You did mean his "lower" lip didn't you? Think "gravity" and it's all good. I forgive you for your transgression.

For like.... uhh......... Not Paying the Rent

Figures.

Yea, let's rack the deadbeat for getting over on some landlord who had the unmitigated gall to expect someone to pay actually pay for living in the property he owned

Oooooo Bode You !

You make Paul look like a fucking genius.

and with the heavy labor of hod carrying he just wasted away

Candy ass

Tossed 20 feet from a dome shotgun blast?

I call bullshit. I wanna see this one on mythbusters.

Not the world's biggest Mythbusters fan, but they have covered this one...twice.

And it came down to the good old "equal and opposite reaction"...a 12 gauge will throw a human body back the same amount as the recoil throws the shooter back...about two inches, give or take(depending on shooter/shootee's size and whatnot).

Every. Single. Time.


Good "bullshit" call, MB. The laws of physics apply everywhere, except movie sets and Tacoma.

actually, dins, recoil is largely dependent on the mass of the weapon, wearas the dude catching the round doesn't really care how heavy the gun was as he goes flying.

this is why the dude catching the round will react a bit differently from the dude throwing it. And,I dont care what those fags ob 'busters say. Wish the fukk I had their job though. Paid to fukk shit up.

Physics is your friend.


Befriend the physics, smackaholic.

Interesting. I haven't seen that Mythbusters and I didn't see the dead body before, during, or after his encounter with a fast moving lead object.

I want to see that Mythbusters now because it seems to me the force acting on the "victim" would be determined by the momentum of the projectile. That momentum would increase as projectile speed increases in the barrel. Makes me think the impact of the projectile would be considerably greater than the initial recoil. If Mythbusters is right then you could make a gun stock from a 12 gauge broomstick, hold it against your shoulder, fire one round, and you blow your arm off. That doesn't sound right to me. If you shot a watermelon with a shotgun and then placed the butt of the shotgun against a melon and fired it would it have the same reaction? Being equal and opposite it should be identical in the Dinsbusters model, oui?

Even Wiki has a better understanding of basic physics than you heathens --

Misconceptions about recoil
Hollywood depictions of firearm victims being thrown through plate-glass windows are inaccurate, for if this were the case, the shooter would also be thrown backwards with equal force. Gunshot victims frequently do collapse when shot, which is usually due to psychological motives, a direct hit to the central nervous system, and/or massive blood loss (see Stopping Power), and is not the result of the momentum of the bullet pushing them over. Of course this does not apply if the victim is hit by heavy weapons fire, such as aircraft cannon, where the momentum effects can be significant. The recoil from such a weapon is equally enormous, and requires it to be mounted on a weapons platform

Not sure which part of "equal and opposite reaction" you're struggling with?
