Don't do this. (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2223099/Woodstock-family-watches-helplessly-Craigslist-crowds-strip-foreclosed-house-bare.html?ito=feeds-newsxml)
'Fairly large, free yard sale. Moving and we want everything to go for free. So come over and take whatever you want and how much you want. Here are a couple of items that will be there: Couch, chairs, lots of household and kitchen items, appliances, a wardrobe, desk, recliner, movies, lots of books, lamps, women's and teens' clothing, etc. And also a box of free food with lots of cans. Please take only if you need it. We're starting at 10 a.m., October 24th, and we'll finish when everything's gone.'
In a nutshell, people were supposed to show up starting at 10 a.m. and only take stuff marked "free" on the lawn, but instead, they arrived early, broke into the house and took almost everything and even the police were powerless to stop anything.
Craigslist is probably something that should be avoided these days anyways.
