Have you ever identified a grow house because the resident was careless?

theres a house on my corner that is definately up to something...most likely just dealing out of the house. me and my brother were at 711 down the corner when this angry guy was yelling on his phone "You better have my fucking reup im coming for that shit right now"...then he hangs up and speeds up the block. as me and my bro are driving home we see the same car parked outside the same house. and everytime i pass it during the day theres some sketchy looking young dudes with tall T's smoking cigs out front..and all the windows have been covered up with some mirror looking material.

and then theres my neighbors across the street. one house is full of some russian folk who have nice cars and are usually out front lounging...probably not up to much but i know many russians and they always have underground rackets going low key like. for all i know they could be smuggling human sex slaves lol. the other house is for sure up to something. its a guy in his 40s, his meth smoking wife, and their kid. i know for sure the wife is smoking something, her teeth are rotted and fucked up. he owns a paintshop but most days his trucks parked out front, and there are random cars showing up and leaving real quick. some are family members, but theres a bunch of younger guys my age but who look way sketchier. everyone kinda looks like they smoke meth or some kind of drug. im cool with them though, im trying to teach their kid the alphabet.

she was curious about me she said "we were wondering what you guys were doing"...i responded saying that i work from home in internet advertising and i run an ebay business selling model trains. i try to act real nerdy and square whenever i talk to her, because im sure they have noticed how i dont have a 9-5 and am going in and out of my house with bags sometimes. i killed all foot traffic through here thogh, its only me and my brother not a single person elsecomes by...whenever i move sketchy stuff like grow equipment or big black garbage bags full of dirt and trim, i do it through my garage so no one can see. i burn all hydro shop receipts and numbers logs and try to keep my trash free of marijuana related shit and full of used cat litter and beer bottles...so if any DEA agent rumages through my garbage they have a fun time smelling cat shit and beer piss.

i live near oakland theres all sorts of characters. theres a nice home full of arabs down the street too, and they all have brand new cars shit you not, they have been rocking their dealer plates since i moved here (i rock my dealer plates too lol)....but they got a brand new 60k landcruiser, brand new 30k Acura TL, and another 3 pretty nice cars. they never work either, always out front with their white muslim clothing on, they got a bunch of kids too. i wonder what they are doing...probably oil rich and trying to live where theres no car bombs

Yep, maybe they just like living there.

If I was LEO , I would memorize this thread. I would also read the Security forum often. In fact if I taught a narc class , reading IC mag Security forum would be a homework assignment.

Why? If it's done right, they'd never know. Your house would look and smell just like any other house. That's the beauty of it, the better we get, the less they have to use to find us.

Hell, I'm legal but I still don't want to get ripped. Keeping the punks away is more important than the cops. If you can stay off THEIR radar...the cops would NEVER find you.

Agreed?

What tricks are being divulged? Don't tell, don't sell, and most importantly...don't smell, or anything else obvious like the glow of HPS lights coming out an attic vent or a basement window.

I agree , IBjam, This forum has helped me tremendously, and I do think it helps growers more than cops , but I do think it will help anyone , no matter what side your on.

Saw a guy bringing two 20# CO2 tanks into his duplex once and he had green and white plastic (grodan) piled in the corner of his back yard. All visible as I drove by. Hmm... Good luck to him

I am a Real Estate Appraiser and I go in a lot of house everyday and i have come across many grows in my day. The other day was more of an obvious case. The people would not let me in the room because a baby was sleeping, but you could here fans running and some other odd noises.. Slight smell too.. I just move on just so I don't make them paranoid and ruin there grow.

That's a real big flag to the cops. People dont realize all they have to do is get some blackout curtains and a 2x4.

When I used to deliver pizzas, a couple in a totally uptight neighborhood were growin some dank and not caring who knew. Directly told the delivery drivers to go around back, where BAM, there was a few nice ass indicas goin. Always smoked me out when I dropped off food, tipped very generously (25-35%). Good people, bad habits. I always wonder if they kept goin on that pace or if they finally woke the fuck up.

Most of the things that clue "us" to a grower would mean nothing to a non-grower.
Example: If i didn't grow, i wouldn't have a clue what a "Botanicare reservoir" is used for, so i probably wouldn't give it a second thought.

I know quite a few growers that wouldn't recognize them ;)

personally I would leave them be, in this lifestyle there's not much room for error. Better them than you. You don't want to compromise your security by helping someone you don't even know that is obviously a moron.
