Another victim of a Craiglist ad

One sex offender victimized by another sex offender and her accomplice. Now that’s a good one! And Craiglist continues to be a lucrative website for prostitutes, thieves, robbers, rapists and other lawbreakers.

CHULA VISTA — A registered sex offender was carjacked in Chula Vista early Saturday by a prostitute hired through Craigslist who brought an accomplice, police said.

The 29-year-old called police shortly after midnight to report his Honda Civic stolen from the city library on Orange Avenue at Fourth Street.

He first told officers that he was out of the car, then a man with a knife popped up from the back seat, ordered him to strip, tied him up and took the Honda, police Lt. Scott Arsenault said.

Arsenault said it turned out that the man arranged through a Craigslist ad to meet a prostitute outside the library. An accomplice showed up and drove away with the woman in the Honda. San Diego police found it about 4 p.m. abandoned on Beyer Boulevard, a few blocks south of the Chula Vista city limits.
