That's horrible. What freecycle group is this? I may be able to gather some of this stuff up and have it shipped to him. It must be fucking terrible to be without money for Christmas, when it's only one week away.
Hopefully the police can catch whoever stole their van. Nothing pisses me off more then a bunch of real life Grinches.
I don't know which group, it could be anywhere.
Somehow I don't think they actually had a van stolen with that much stuff in it. And if they did, they deserve it for leaving so much valuable shit in it!
Freecycle is about keeping stuff out of landfills. It isn't supposed to be confused with Craigslist. It's not the place to ask for new laptops, everything on your Christmas list, or to gather information about stuff. But people forget/ignore that a lot, so we get gems like the one I just posted. And then we can laugh at them. There are also posts all the time asking for Wii Fit because "my doctor said I need to get in shape."

Thanks
