An increasing number of police stations across the United States are officially offering their lobbies and/or parking lots as a place for people to hold their Craigslist transactions.

It has long been recommended that Craigslist meetups be held in a public place around other people, but having police officers nearby rather than civilians can be an even better option.

I would say, if either party was not on the level; they would be reluctant for this meeting place!

The percentage of problem buyers and sellers on Craigslist is low. I have about a thousand craigslist shoppers to my home in the past nine years. I have never had a security problem or a bad check.

To your home?? Really? That's just nutz IMO. Good luck.
