This sounds like an internet hoax come to life. A Boise woman answered a CraigsList ad for a free iPod but became suspicious when the poster would only deliver it to her in a park at night. After alerting police, they showed up to find the man waiting in a car with a black stocking cap, a knife and no iPod. Since no crime had been committed yet, they could only arrest him on misdemeanor charges.
Thank God for intuition. Another one for the "if it sounds too good to be true, run" files.

Just goes to show, as we invent new ways of commerce and interacting with each other, the criminals get creative too. Glad she was a saavy Jane. :-)
good grief.
