A house near Seattle in the US was emptied of its contents after a hoax advertisement invited people to take whatever they wanted for free.

Landlady Laurie Raye's rental home was stripped of appliances, windows, light fixtures and even the kitchen sink.

The adverstisement stayed on the Craigslist website for two hours before being pulled.

Neighbours said they had seen people removing items in the middle of the day but did not suspect anything was wrong.

"In the ad, it said come and take what you want. Everything is free," Ms Raye told Seattle's King-TV.

The neighbors didn't think anything was wrong with windows being taken?

Someone's gonna get some revenge dished on them from the home owner.
