Sorry to bu++ in to a SC Thread, but I was wondering if you guys had thought about setting up "Google Alerts"? You can also set up set "Google Reader"(Or other sites) to specifically monitor CraigsList for you.
I use them for work, and am notified of posts within minutes to all major for sale/rent sites.
Hopefully things work out! I always feel bad when I come across stories of fellow hobbyists falling victim to thieves.
Have a good night.
