Hazard of working in the criminal justice system in In the Kingdom of Suzu

Because I work in the criminal justice system and see all kinds of crimes committed, I am always telling my kids don’t do this or that, make sure you check that person out, is it safe for the kids to do that, when you go shopping make sure you blah, blah, blah. When I first met Jeff I even ran a background check on him and that was 21 years ago!
Anyway, I have been looking for a piano, cheap, to get for PrincessL. I have been looking on my county bulletin board but no such luck. Finally I looked on Craig’s list and found one for $100 and according to the pix, looks to be nice. I made an inquiry as to why it was so cheap and why selling. They replied that they were moving south and just want to get rid of it. I know people have had good results with Craig’s list as my cousin’s in laws sold a motor home in record time with no problem. Jeff tried to sell an amp and it turned out the buyer was trying to pull a scam. Then, there was a man in our area who wanted to sell a car and was killed. Argh! Just have to be cautious.

It always pays to be cautious. There are good people and a lot of bad people out there. Take care...

Yes, you can never be too cautious.
If i had access to run criminal/ background checks on people, id probably check everybody out. I trust so few!

You really do have to be careful when it comes to Craigslist and just life in general. That's why my Prosebox journal is Friends Only. I do leave public notes on the journals of others at times and I really should stop doing that. $100.00 for a piano? That sounds pretty inexpensive to me.

Does Craigslist com with feedback? It helps to read those, I think. I do background look-sees with some applicants to our non-profit...but what I can do as a lay person is much more limited than what you probably know. I run their names through our sheriff's office and also look at their facebook page. A piano sale sounds safe, though. I think its the more valuable stuff (cars, tech stuff, collectibles) that brings out the criminal element. Pianos are hard to get rid of. Too expensive to move, too.
