A woman from Inver Grove Heights decided to use Craigslist as well as other social networking websites to help fight against crime when she became a victim herself.
The woman’s name is Meghan Abston and she had lost credit cards and clothes as well as a camera that was kept in her car. She got no clue who stole all her items but thankfully, the apartment had a surveillance camera and caught the culprits on video .
In the video she saw 2 men taking all her stuff from her car and she reported the incident to the police officers in the area. She felt so helpless and can’t stop crying but then she realized she can and should do something to help catch these robbers and prevent others from being victimized.
The surveillance video was very helpful and she posted the video on Craigslist, Twitter, Facebook and Myspace hoping that someone could identify them and help solve the crime. There’s no use yet up to now if the method is effective on her case but she believes it’s a way to help solve the crime and not just wait for the police to solve it. The police officers investigating the crime, on the other hand, don’t want to discuss about her style to solve the crime.
Meghan Abston is also posting a $500 reward for anyone that could help her identify and catch these robbers.
