 TACOMA, Wash. - A woman accused of placing an online ad that led to her aunt's vacant house being ransacked pleaded guilty Monday and was sentenced to three months of home detention. [/p]  Prosecutors said Nichole Blackwell, 28, maliciously posted an ad on the popular Internet site Craigslist on March 24 that invited the public to "come and take whatever you want" from the Tacoma house. [/p]    The ad was titled "everything free," and said, "Nothing is off limits."  [/p]    People took the ad at face value and carried off nearly everything, including the kitchen sink and the front picture window.

You have to admiore the ingenuity, no less the bare-faced cheek. Not at all funny, and yet.....

P.C.

I find that SOOOOOOO beyond cheeky.  It IS malicious and that woman must have no soul...much less a conscience.

  I can't believe she only got 3 months detention.  She should be made to do menial labour until every item is replaced.....and a whopping value for irreplacable things.

  *can you tell I've had my house ransacked before?

I wonder if Ellen is going to be sued for the harrassment and threats she caused by airing her sad story to the world about the dog  she foolishly gave away to people who were never screened by the adopting organization.
