Not only is craiglist great for looking for apartments, a handyman, or that cute guy or gal on the F train, it's also a place to traffic drugs - and to shut down illegal drug trafficking. The NYPD arrested a man for selling crystal meth on craigslist. Dealers tend to use the personals section of the site, with code words like "Tina" for crystal meth and "ski" for cocaine. Craigslist founder Craig Newmark told the Post he relies on users to help crack down on illegal activities by flagging suspicious users. A free market with an online citizens' patrol! And to think, the only thing Gothamist was annoyed about craigslist was a misleading listing for a used guitar.

Weird...
I used to go on the Rants and Raves section and joke about where I can get good 420 / Snow Delivery service. And I'd always get an email back asking if I'm for real and if I want a hook up, some even leave a number...
Damn, I thought it was weird and random that I was able to set up three different dates to go skiing with a Tina the next weekend. Oh well, I believed I had finally been able to land a date off of Craig’s List.
What’s worse is that all this time I had been trying to use the Gothamist “Comments” section to score drugs, but with no luck. I used the sentence “I hate brokers who help hit-and-run-drivers get rent-controlled apartments” to try to score steroids and the sentence “This iPod subway theft crime wave is crazy” to try and score elephant tranquilizers.
Are you sure that this arrest was made by the NYPD? The NY1 story I read excludes a dateline specifying what city it supposedly took place in. Also, there's absolutely zero attributions other than to "police" and "authorities." It doesn't even identify the police department or law enforcement agency responsible for the bust. News stories so frustratingly vague always get my b.s. meter ringing.
Everyone knows that "adopting shelter cats" is a euphemism for picking up hookers. Shame Jen, shame.
Here's a tip for drug dealers: If you want to make sure the thought police will let your party be, just put something to the effect of "help me! I'm being stabbed repeatedly with a rusty hunting knife!!" in your subject line. That way they'll move on to pursue some real crime, eg evil grandmothers trying to find illicit relief for their glaucoma.
I've also seen people posting requests for Tina, etc. in their myspace bulletin boards. Seriously.
Does anyone know the number of a good 420/snow delivery service? I'd also like to inquire about where i can find Tina. me and Tina were supposed to hit the slopes this weekend but no dice. Can you also hook me up with some skis and a susie?
Anyone ever score off CE?
Other then getting laid...
no
