San Diego police yesterday started an investigation into a case of possible child endangerment after receiving tips from two concerned people regarding a posting on Craigslist, the online classified-ad service, that purported to offer a free baby to a good home.

Copies containing the ad content were sent to police after dispatchers recorded two calls about 10:30 a.m., complaining and asking police to investigate.

Good grief. I’ve had difficulty getting my local police to investigate real crimes… but they “take this seriously” when it comes to a silly joke post on a classifieds site well-known for such pranks? I can’t believe anybody was gullible enough to phone that in. :rolleyes:
