"Known" Bike Thief? - according to Craigslist, though refuted by the target of accusation
Update: I got an email from James as well as a friend of his asking that I remove this from the site. It's already been flagged on Craigslist, and as you can see in the comments section isn't exactly agreed with. Honestly I don't know anyone involved so I can't say what's true and what's not but most of what's on this page is bullshit anyways, so don't sweat it too bad James. As that old book says, "The truth shall set you free." Would the poster of the deleted entry care to let me know the motivation behind this allegation? If so drop me a line. Otherwise I'm just assuming this is bullshit and slander, and that James is an ok guy who's only crime is being prone to making goofy expressions (and really, who isn't).
Original posting (and the deleted craigslist ad) behind the cut...
Woke up bright and early (well technically not "bright") and saw this on Craigslist:

WARNING: KNOWN BIKE THIEF (Austin)
Reply to: sale-963465558@craigslist.org
Date: 2008-12-18, 9:53PM CSTA guy named James Clayton who has lived in Austin for a little over a year has been befriending cyclists, finding out where they live, what they have, and when they won't be home. He breaks into homes and steals bikes, frames, and parts. If you know this guy DO NOT share personal information, as far as we know he only steals from close friends of his.
I don't know the validity of any of this, but nonetheless his expression is rather entertaining. If you know this fella, keep a close eye on your two-wheeled possessions.
Is what JC is gonna have now...
when accused of having the worst username, fixed39x17 went to the police station to get cleared but he was guilty so they refused
THIS POST IS FALSE, A LIE, AND TOTAL BULLSHIT, There is absolutely no truth to this at all. THIS WAS POSTED BY SOME DOUCHE BAG WHO DOESNT KNOW SHIT. THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT HAVE VERY BIG MOUTHS AND THIS WHOLE THING IS WAY OUT OF HAND. THERE IS NO TRUTH TO IT!!
Thanks for updating us and speaking on the side of the accused. The posting has been deleted from craigslist and I've updated my story, as James as well as 2 friends contacted me this afternoon and spoke in his defense. That picture is great though.
If I were wrongly accused of any crime then I would contact the police to clear the record.
