The harassment "included 'sending anonymous and disturbing deliveries,' such as 'a book on surviving the death of a spouse, a bloody pig mask, a fetal pig and a funeral wreath and live insects,' the DOJ said. The intimidation also included publishing a series of 'Craigslist posts inviting the public for sexual encounters at the victims’ home.'"

"eBay employees escalated the criminal activity by traveling to Massachusetts and installing a GPS tracker on the Steiners' car."
