So screwing with people on Craigslist has been done many time before, but I got bored last week and decided to give it a try.
Can’t bring this with me to Japan 
It’s yours for $10.

Of course you can’t bring it back to Japan… because it’s stolen. Did you really think I wasn’t going to track you down? You so messed with the wrong guy. I want it back in three hours or I’m killing your cat.

What are you talking about? This is my pot that I bought while living in New York. I did not steal your pot.

After reading your email I’d like to personally apologize… for thinking a criminal of your caliber would willingly admit to theft. How foolish of me. Though I should let you know, you will be caught. I just tracked your IP address and will be coming to your house this weekend to get my pot back. Sleep well.

THIS IS MY POT. I BOUGHT THE POT. I DID NOT STEAL THE POT. Don’t you dare come to my house or I’ll call the police.

I’d love for you to call the police… tell them Tom sent you. If the automated system picks up (ughhhh I hate when the system picks up) you can reference the case number: 42394302-9432+d9390=3… Yes I already filled a police report. In other news, I’m going to kill your cat no matter what.

I remember when I was young, maybe 8 or 9, and my dad would get drunk, make me cook beef, and would hit me with a bat if there wasn’t enough juice on it. I’m going to kill your cat with that same bat.

I’ll give you $6 for the pot. Come on we’re old friends.

I have. I’ve hired a lawyer and plan to sue you. I’ll see you in court… or maybe in front of your apartment late tonight.

Your boyfriend? Maybe you should have told me you were dating someone before you started leading me on? Hussie.

Wow. Deep severe love for this post.
fucking genius, help me get a couch.
Now that’s a misleading title if there ever was one. Cmon dude, i wanted to read about the craigslist drug trade.
I agree with sycmo. Totally thought this was going to be a post about you trying to buy marijuana off craigslist.
Interesting approach though.. but you should have known orientals don’t own cats/dogs. They EAT them.
