Thanks Loran for sharing this with us. It is another fine example of how the Internet is a fantastic source for those thugs out there. A couple of things here: - Someone did the unthinkable by printing the ad, joke or no joke. - This points out the stupidity of individuals that believe every thing they read on line. Super example of this gullibility are the crazy nonsense urban legends that so many believed for so long. Many people walked around for months with their hands over their kidneys! - We, who use the net for fun an or profit, are susceptible to being taken. In fact, those that do not even use a computer are susceptible to foul play because everyone's name, address, phone number, aerial shots of property, are within reach of all within a minute or two. Back to the story... I don't believe most of those that took to the free shopping free really believed the ad. I think that they just felt that they had a 'leg to stand on' when robbing this man! As always, keep the speed limit at 78.........rpm that is! Brant </HTML>
