I wonder how many people are robbed after meeting with someone via Craigslist!

Where is the security at a McDonald's?
Lesson learned should be to do such transactions where security is present-like inside one's local bank.
If the buyer refuses to go to the bank, hang up.

If he responded via email or Craigslist he may have left enough information to be tracked. It depends on his ISP type.
