Lucky child finds listing for free candy on Craigslist

WESTLAKE—Local nine-year-old Bobby Sanders was having a very special day Thursday when he stumbled across a listing for free candy on Craigslist, a popular website for community events. “The man said that he had free Gobstoppers in the back of his white van,” said the child as he waited by himself near a dumpster for the candyman to arrive. “My mom always said not to take candy from strangers, but Craigslist said it was okay because he was dealing locally.” According to the listing, the mountain of candy could only go to a very special little boy with dark brown hair and big blue eyes, and preferably to a child no older than nine, which confirmed the child’s suspicion that the candy was meant just for him.
