Thank man.

I had a classified on Craigslist once that got hijacked by someone else and I found out very quickly because I monitored mine. Otherwise someone could have been taken for a ride.

I did a search for similar ads every hour as time permits. When I did, I found my car and my picture with someone elses address and phone.

I contacted the service provided and report it the situation. I also removed my ad.

I figure if anyone could find out about him, they would. We had someone tried to hack in at work. The IT GURU finally tracked him comming true various relays via California, Texas, Michigan and originating at UBC. He never got in all the way.
