Wow. A landlord encouraging trespassing on his property? Weird.
I heard of a friend of a friend saying they once posted an ad telling people to knock on their ex-husband's door at 8 a.m. on a Saturday for free things. People showed up. The ex-husband was woken up early over and over again.
I knew someone who moved by doing this. They posted a photo of their apartment, and said "come get it all." They were present giving the stuff away.

I'd agree. I don't see any landlord in the world posting something like that. If they did, they would have showed up at the house to make sure people didn't tear the place down (which is what it sounds like actually happened).
No landlord on the planet would want a bunch of craigslist people roaming free in their house. I would bet it was the tenant hoping that they could get someone to pick up their junk so they didn't get hit with a security deposit fee for cleanup.

On the other hand, I can't see the police telling the media that it was the landlord unless they knew. Landlords can act as foolishly as tenants. Just not BP landlords ; )
