Cruel Prank, or Bazaar Revenge

Someone posted a Craigslist add to the effect that a certain house near Medford, OR had been abandoned by its owner, and that all the stuff in the house was free for the taking.

Apparently several dozen people responded to the ad, and began carting away everything that wasn't nailed down.

I really wonder what crime the author of the post will be charged with, if he's eventually caught. Fraud? Inducement to theft? I'm sure there was some law broken here, but what is not immediately obvious.

And I wonder how long it will be before this becomes a common means of exacting vengeance.
