Woman Blames Typo in Newspaper for Theft

Ad In Lawrence, Kan., Paper Had Wrong Address

"Bryan said she returned home after work one day and saw strangers loading up her belongings into their vehicle. When she asked what they were doing, they showed her a classified ad in the newspaper. The public notice stated that all things at 1319 Tennessee St., Apt. 3, would be thrown away if unclaimed.

"It was just a real shock," Bryan said. "I was freaking out. I told them that's my apartment -- there's been some mistake."

It was a one-digit mistake -- the newspaper ad should have read 1339 Tennessee St., the television station reported. The ad was placed because a woman in that home passed away and no one had claimed her belongings."

My question is this: How did they get into her apartment? Wouldn't a person answering an ad like that find it odd that the door was locked? :confused:

Those are good questions. That's why I think this story is made-up crap.
