Problem with this thread is that CL doesn't archive its posts.

My most recent CL exploit is an 104" x 40" frameless mirror I picked up for $20 for my new workout room. Drove to a fairly sketchy part of town to pick it up. Had trouble finding the address because the guy's house number was in the wrong place. By which I mean, he gave me the right number, but the house wasn't located where that number should have been. Numbers are supposed to go up or down in sequence as you drive along the street, but his number was out of sequence. When I remarked upon this he said "yeah, but the city want's me to pay to fix that." I still don't know what that even means but I didn't press it further. Said he's moving so I suspect I may have just bought a mirror he stole off the wall from his landlord. Guy helped me load the mirror and I go on my way.

When I get home, my wife and I are carrying this monster into the house and I'm wearing sandals and I'm not watching what the eff I'm doing and as walking I slam the top of my foot up into the corner of the mirror. So now I have this ugly frankenstein looking gash about 3" long on the top of one foot. That was stupid.

Sorry - that's the best CL story I've got recently.

Was there something else that led you to that suspicion as opposed to believing that he was moving and wanted to sell stuff he didn't want to have to move to his new place, especially big unwieldy stuff for reasons you're foot now knows?

You spelled Park City or Haysville wrong.

Well there was a “For Rent” sign and typically mirrors like that are fixtures. This mirror actually has the epoxy patches from where it was glued to the wall.

Sounds like he didn't want to move or couldn't move his big unwieldy mirror to his new place.

It's a good thing @Gooch got the hell out of there.  I hear West Wichita is the new Compton.

About a month ago..

Living in a metro area with roughly 1 million people, contacted a Craigslist poster about some golf clubs he had posted. We agree to meet up to look at them, he then gives the area he lives, and the area he works. I tell him I work in the same area downtown, so we could meet somewhere around there. He then gives the building he works in, and I tell him I work in the same building. We meet up in the common area, and turns out he works for the same company as me (there are 4 companies in this building), and his office is a floor above me. I am now planning on golfing with him and some other colleagues that I did not know golfed (well, I didn't even know any of them since I just came over to this office).

Pretty neat.

It's all a bunch of coincidences until you wake up in a bathtub full of ice.
