THE home of a woman in the US has been stripped and trashed after a hoax listing on an online classified ads service.
There is little left of Laurie Raye's home after the fake ad on Craigslist invited people to take whatever they wanted for free, KING 5 News reported.
Watch the video here
The outside of the home was trashed, the inside was nearly gutted and covered in graffiti.
Everything from the light fixtures to the hot water heater was taken, including the kitchen sink.
Ms Raye, Tacoma, Washington, said she was devastated.
"I was attached to this home because it used to be my mum's," she said.
She was alerted to the destruction by a phone call and arrived home to find debris all over her front garden and her house dismantled "Including the front door, this used to be a very nice vinyl window here".
Her neighbours said they saw strangers hauling property away and looking for salvage material.
The "ad" was posted on Craigslist last weekend.
"In the ad, it said come and take what you want. Everything is free. Please help yourself to anything on the property," Ms Raye said.
Craigslist is a network of online urban communities, featuring free classified advertisements and forums.
It was founded in 1995 by Craig Newmark for the San Francisco Bay area and is now established in 450 cities around the world.

Hopefully they'll track down the person who posted the ad, drag their ass into the street, and put a bullet into the back of their worthless head.

That sounds like some kind of insurance scam or something. If I read there's free shit being offered on cl I'm not just gonna show up and take the fucking water heater.

I feel bad for the woman, but DAMN that's an awesome way to get back at someone really hard.

I feel sorry for her too. But that is an excellent revenge tactic.
