TACOMA, Wash. - The ad on Craigslist invited people to help themselves to anything at a woman's house in Tacoma. But the woman who owns the house wasn't the one who posted the ad.
Now she's trying to recover thousands of dollars that she lost.
Someone clearly thought the prank would be funny, but Laurie Raye says she hasn't stopped crying since she showed up to her mother's ransacked and emptied house.
The ad placed on the popular web site invited people to take "items outside this home and in the garage on the 1200 block of East 64th Street," saying that it was all was free for the taking.
Raye had recently evicted a tenant and cleaned out the rental, but that didn't stop people from walking off with something.
Those who read the ad took it literally, taking everything from the house -- including the kitchen sink and water heater. Light fixtures, wires, doors, and any other salvageable part of the house were also stolen.
Damaged furniture and other property now litter the front yard.
