(KING-TV) There are plenty of horror stories about what can go wrong when people buy or sell with strangers from Craigslist or a similar site. Whether a person is buying or selling, they should try to meet in a public place to make the swap.
"I always meet people at a Starbucks or a public place," Craigslist buyer Leah Pastrana said. "I never go to someone's house."
But even a coffee shop or mall food court isn't as safe as the lobby of a police station. It's government property and in most cases is open 24 hours a day.
