Information from the Arcata Police Department’s Facebook page:

Feeling a bit jittery about meeting a stranger at their house to purchase that first-gen iPod you found on Craigslist? Do you wish you could have a buddy go with you, just in case?

We’ve been there too. Now, the parking lot of the Arcata Police Department is a Safe Trade location. If the buyer/seller refuses to meet you here, that’s called a “clue” in the biz.

Trust your gut and know that someone else will buy your Beanie Baby collection….

The obvious question: Are there any limitation on the products being bought and sold?

Yes, ask for an officer Tatum, from Rohnert Park PD….

Everyone now knows he’s had the “chronic” for years.

Just knock on the door if you need change. I’m sure they won’t mind.

Eureka could do that,but they don’t have a parking lot. It’s actually the least secure place to meet a craigslist buyer,except maybe a hooker.
Can we just call them “craigs” like hookers have “johns”?
