A $750 worth stroller was stolen from the front porch of Lindsay Taylor. After he noticed the stroller was stolen, this internet-savvy parent immediately checked for ads on Craigslist.
Lo’ and behold, he found an ad for a double red Phil & Ted’s stroller which is the same as the stroller stolen from them. The ad was posted around 3 in the morning just 2 hours after he heard something outside. He contacted the seller through email but the seller won’t give out his name and his number’s blocked. The seller became a bit suspicious when Taylor asked for the color of the stroller but eventually they met up on Sunday at a parking lot. Taylor brought a friend along. Then, a car pulled up and popped his trunk but stayed in the car while a woman went out and talked to Taylor. When he confirmed that the stroller was his, his friend took photos right away and Taylor started yelling at the thief couple. The police then took over when he reported the incident.
It turns out several cases were also filed for stolen Phil & Ted’s stroller so the Taylor’s are not the first victims.
Someone who calls himself Rick Obelophy posted an ad on Craigslist selling his supposed-to-be 4 year old son named Gavin for $5,000. The ad was immediately removed but a Spokane woman who spotted the ad and called the authorities was able to save a copy of the text but was not able to save the photo of the little boy.
The ad may just be a hoax or a cry for help but it could be something even more. The investigators have seized records from the site Craigslist to get more information about the ad and the person who posted it. Investigators haven’t found any record for a man named Rick Obelophy. It is a Class C felony for anyone to sell or buy a child in Washington and once proven, you can be punished for 5 years in jail and fined $10,000.
