Don't know. Not my problem. ;-) This "take-all-my-stuff-for-free" crime is actually form of a identity theft which the Craig's List TOU agreement deals with (See attachment). So a question for the lawyers is what sort of obligation has Craig's List created for itself to make reasonable efforts to enforce section 7 of the TOU.
