Is Craiglist in Trouble?

It is not clear yet since the list is talking about subpoena to release the name of the source who put an ad inviting everyone to take what they want from a home that is located in Tacoma, Wash. The owner of the house who is a female was devastated when neighbors told her what happened and it was too late to do anything since people have vandalized and have ransacked everything, including doors, windows, light fixtures, the kitchen sink etc. It is an amazing story and one of a kind; however, its legal implication is not clear at this moment. The home’s being insured is a possibility, which would mean the owner is entitled for compensation under the vandalism clause and that could only happen when how it happened becomes clear. Craiglist should disclose the source of the ad if it can, and the possibility that it cannot is there too. Insurance companies as usual are entitled to be suspicious.
