Using Craigslist to Your Advantage

This is just classic.

A man in Washington robbed an armored truck and used Craigslist to aid in his escape.

At about 11am, the robber sprayed the guard of an armored truck with pepper spray and grabbed a sack of money. He was wearing a yellow vest, safety goggles, a respirator mask, and a blue shirt which just happens to be the description he used in a Craigslist ad. The ad said that there was construction work and to meet the foreman near the bank with the aforementioned outfit. So, when authorities came, they ran into a lot of decoys. Reminds me of Spike Lee's Inside Man.

But it gets better. The robber made his escape down a creek - in an inner tube.
