B4 u guys pass judgment on Oakland please consider for a moment that alot of the crime that occurs in Oakland isn't by the folks that actually from/live here. In my personal experience its more thieves and robbers in Hayward than anywhere else in the bay but it all comes down to being a smart buyer/seller don't put yourself in vulnerable situations in any city cuz the worst can happen where we least expected. Blessings!

Did the transaction and the dude actually wanted me stay while he put each bill to the light to make sure it wasn't counter fit. All in all things went smooth , looking back though I wouldn't put myself or my homie in jeopardy like that again. Things couldve went wrong and it wouldn't have been worth it in the least bit.

What planet are you from? [Eek!]

That's risky business right there. Reminds my off the chain saw scene from scarface when he and Manolo went into the hotel room to buy the used S-trim for their Cadillac when they answered the craigslist ad

seriously, thats what we have been faced with lately. VPD said something like 70-75% of the people they have caught committing major crimes are out of town residence. that bank robbery that got officer capoot killed about a month back was committed by a Fairfield man.

It's certainly true that most con artists are giving a bit of space between their home and their crime scenes. This makes them a bit harder to catch as the evidence trail tends to become more murky.

Many police officers also do not live in the same city they work to minimize the chance of encountering some scum-bag around town while off duty that they arrested the night before.
