I suppose though, it's nice to have a film crew in town and to see a couple of a major movie actors as a bonus.

Craigslist will cooperate with southern Oregon police officials in tracking down the asshole who ran the bogus ad, causing a Jacksonville, Oregon, to lose most of his property.
"Misuse of Craigslist for illegal purposes is absolutely unacceptable to us, and we look forward to assisting law enforcement in their efforts to bring the perpetrator to justice," Buckmaster wrote in an e-mail to the Mail Tribune.
"Craigslist is an extremely unwise choice for committing crimes, since criminals inevitably leave an electronic trail to themselves that law enforcement officers can follow."
The Salisburys lost ladders, tools and other possessions worth thousands of dollars after two Craigslist ads claimed the owner of a home in the 7900 block of Sterling Creek Road outside Jacksonville was forced to leave the area suddenly and that his belongings, including a horse, were free for the taking, said Jackson County sheriff's officials.
Robert Salisbury, an independent contractor, learned of the hoax when a woman who was interested in claiming his horse phoned him to verify whether the ads were legitimate. He arrived at his property to find dozens of people rifling through his house and barn and driving off with his possessions.
"They literally trashed the barn," he said. "It looks like a tornado went through."
Though he tried to stop people from taking his things, several people waved a printout of the Craigslist ad at him and said they had a right, he said.
How in the hell do people think they have the right to pilfer somebody's property? First of all, who in the hell advertises something on the internet that things belonging to somebody else are free for the taking?
What kind of idiot believes this stuff?
