Craigslist although a good website that I use often is an easy place for thieves to sell their stolen items.
I found a website that is very useful for looking up items in multiple cities on Craigs list. it's good for either wanting to buy or to find your stolen items that thieves post in other cities thinking you will not look there.
the website is call Craiglook and works great.
http://craiglook.com/ it's just another tool to help recover your stolen items
best of luck
