La Grange Realtor's Software Mistake Lists Downstate House For Sale

Here's an item from the La Grange police blotter.

A man from Argenta, northeast of Decatur, Illinois, called La Grange police about 1 p.m. Sept. 8 to report a realtor from La Grange had listed his house for sale on Craigslist. The downstate man said he is not selling his house. Police Chief Michael Holub said the realtor had been using demo software and used the address, not knowing the computer was in live rather than test mode. The realtor was apologetic and corrected the matter immediately, Holub said.
