A bicycle. An old jailbroken iPhone. Maybe used furniture. Some free dirt. Those are the type of things you expect to buy off Craigslist, Gumtree, Fleebay or whatever. You definitely don't expect a mum to offer up her three-year-old son on the seedy but useful classifieds website. But that's just what Stephanie Redus did.

Holy crap. You know in Grand Theft Auto when you're trying to destroy everything—cars, homes, the entire street—in your way while racking up as many police officers on your tail just for giggles? That actually happened in real life. A 51-year-old man went on a ridiculous rampage on his bulldozer destroying four homes, smashing cars and cutting power to thousands of people. Read More >>
