        If you do, for heaven's sake be careful.
        We had a local case here in 2009 where the respondents to a ring 
for sale on Craigslist used the ad to initiate an armed robbery.  They 
showed up to look at the ring, then forced their way into the house and 
held the couple and two children at gunpoint.  When one of the thugs 
pistol-whipped his son, the father attempted to protect him and got shot 
dead as a result.  Fortunately, all 4 were caught and sent away to the gray 
bar hotel - gunman got 109 years.
