“A man has been arrested after he was accused of meeting another man through Craigslist and robbing him. Police say Gary Rezendes and the victim met through the ‘casual encounters’ section of Craiglist and decided to meet in person on April 4 at a Vision Rd. Home Depot parking lot. Sgt. Sean Pearson of the Apex Police Department told Q-Notes that Rezendes was carrying a knife, stole $40 from the victim and fled the scene afterward. The victim was unharmed. ‘From my interview with [Rezendes], he had stated that the whole purpose of being on [Craiglist] was to commit a robbery, that there was no previous intent of meeting anyone,’ Pearson said. ‘He was on Craigslist initially looking at things to buy and saw the ads in the personals and thought of it as a quick way to make some money by committing a robbery.'” [Q Notes]

Maybe you should include something about where this took place, as Vision Rd. Home Depot doesn’t really mean anything to anyone.

meeting in home depot parking lot how “str8 acting” “masc” and “discrete” or “discreet” if you want to use the proper spelling of the word.

Just goes to shoe that even being cautious, like meeting in a public place is no guarantee of safety. This story should get huge publicity because guys still post fantasy ads on Craigslist: I have seen an ad where the guy gives an address, he will be naked, blindfolded and strapped to a sling. Door will be unlocked. He even gives the address on Craigslist.
