Craigslist always seemed to me like the Dark Web, with all kind of people doing shady business, and this case is an amusing example:

> a bank robber successfully used a Craigslist help-wanted ad for construction workers, specifying their uniform, to create unwitting decoys around the bank he robbed in matching uniform. His "getaway car" was an inner tube.
