Fake Ad Posters Get Nabbed
April 2, 2008
If you missed it, a Leopold and Loeb-eque pair of alleged delinquents posted a fake “moving, everything must go, just come and take it” ad on Craigslist. The victim came home to find most of his furniture and gear being hauled out of his house. The duo, Brandon and Amber Herbert, posted the ad in an attempt to cover up the fact that they had stolen other items from the victim’s home at an earlier time. However, these two geniuses used a traceable IP address to post the ad. Seriously? Come on… Tech crime 101, kids. Tech crime 101.

There is nothing lower than a thief. Off with their heads. No mercy.

There’s at least one art director in every creative department who looks exactly like that dude.

Damn, I thought this was going to be about all those fake ads in the awards books. Got away with it for another year.
