| The
following are characteristics of typical
grow-op houses, many effects of which can
still be visible after the house has been
vacated:
[ ]
Suspects do not appear to regularly attend
jobs, but drive expensive vehicles.
Suspects? We were referring to your
neighbor here? And what are you
driving and where do you live? You have so
much time to watch them you realize they are
unemployed? Absolutely absurd. 11 expensive
vehicles on my block. What did I
spot? (still visible when vacated?)
[ ]
There are dark coverings over some of the
windows to prevent the escape of bright
hydroponic lights.
There
are dark coverings over my master bedroom,
and as I walk down my street, there are dark
coverings on some windows in every single
house. What did I spot? (still visible
when vacated?)
[ ]
Rooms in the house or outbuildings seem to
be illuminated all the time.
As I
walk my street, rooms and entire houses
seem to be illuminated all the time, even in
the early a.m. What did I spot? (still
visible when vacated?)))
[ ]
There is heavy condensation on the windows.
Absence of frost or snow on the roof when
other houses have frost or snow. Or growers
put fans in the window to increase air
circulation that blows the curtain around.
I have
never, ever, seen this outside of an actual
greenhouse. The reason some roofs show snow
and some don't is based on insulation and
not temperature. I did notice some neighbors
with fans in windows on my walk to.
Blows the dark covering around (curtain?)
that is keeping the light and heat in? What
did I spot? (still visible when vacated?)
[ ]
There may be an unusual number of roof vents
or unusual amounts of steam coming from the
vents in cold weather.
I'm
sorry, but walking down the street and
counting roof vents could get someone to
call the police on me. Are you checking your
neighbors for these? What about real danger?
Are they sexual predators or have gun
collections? I could go on and on... What
did I spot? (still visible when vacated?)
[ ]
A variety of extra measures have been taken
to protect the house, i.e., new fencing,
guard dogs, bars on the windows etc. Entry
is exclusively through the automatic garage
doors. Residents are hardly ever seen out of
their cars.
2
neighbors with new fences this year, 3 last
year (and I had to go look) No homes with
bars on the windows close to me, including
mine. Many pets, almost every other home.
Most of my block residents know me by first
name, and see me if we're outside at the
same times. I also use the door to my
house to enter. What did I spot? (still
visible when vacated?)
[ ] There is a strange odor
emanating from the house (pungent and skunky).
Did you walk up to a
window or really smell a dead skunk? I smell
BBQ, I smell Windex, I smell garlic from my
Italian neighbors with the fans, I smell
pets too, I even smell curry quite a bit
around town, should I be calling the police?
What
did I spot? (still visible when vacated?)
[ ] Sounds of electrical humming,
fans or trickling water. There are also
construction noises associated to
accommodate a marijuana production facility.
Sounds of electrical
humming, fans, trickling water? Every
property I own has these common household
sounds. Especially when my heat or
air-conditioning, or laundry dryer are
operating. There are currently more than 6
homes surrounding mine that have some type
of construction or renovation going-on (I am
calling the police as we speak, I should
have known better).
What did I
spot? (still visible when vacated?)
[ ] There is unusual or modified
wiring on the exterior of the house.
Every home I
looked at had wiring outside the home that I
could not readily identify. Does this
qualify as as unusual or modified?
What did I
spot? (still visible when vacated?)
[ ] The hydro meter can be seen
spinning unusually fast. Growers have most
of their lights on for at least 12 - 18
hours at a time.
I'm sorry, I
would not get close enough to my neighbors
houses to look closely at their hydro meter.
Like it's any of my business?
What did I
spot? (still visible when vacated?)
[ ] Localized power surges or browning
- neighborhood residences or units
experience unexplained power surges or
decreased power that dims lights and slows
down appliance use, with the return of
normal power flow about 12 hours later.
(Images of
Frankenstein's Castle) These are experienced
all over the World and are explainable. My
computer UPS (uninterruptible power supply)
logs can show you electrical variations that
are happening all day long, and that's just
where I live.
What did I
spot? (still visible when vacated?)
[ ] Residents avoid all contacts with
neighbors.
No longer suspects?
Unfortunately, this applies to most areas,
however, we do NOT avoid any contact with
any neighbors. As a matter of fact, it's
very good to know them.
What did I
spot? (still visible when vacated?)
[ ] Children's toys and bikes are left
outside but there are no children seen at
the residence.
Somebody had to make
this stuff up... I have never seen
this at any grow-operation, residential or
otherwise. I do see it up and down my street
and the stuff belongs to the neighbor kid
who left it in the seniors yard on the
corner.
What did I
spot? (still visible when vacated?)
[ ] Quantities of growing equipment
and supplies are seen to be taken into the
house, shed or garage, yet there are no
flowers or garden at the house. Often these
supplies are purchased in Winter.
Where do I
start? With the exclusive use of automatic
garage doors by us growers? Or maybe with
the fact that INDOOR gardening is one of the
most popular and fastest growing hobbies
today. We're unemployed remember, we can
unload our stuff anytime and usually do when
your way asleep pal.
What did I
spot? (still visible when vacated?)
[ ] There are pots, soil, hoses and
nutrients scattered around the property.
On my walk, I find
pots, hoses, wheel barrels, garden tools,
and more - and that's from the sidewalk. Got
to put the police on speed dial.
What did I
spot? (still visible when vacated?)
[ ] The house can appear to be vacant,
the yard is not well tended, and flyer's are
accumulating at the door. Residents are
seldom seen (garbage is rarely put out to
the curb).
I have 4 houses
like this on my block. I know someone lives
there as I have seen them, I have also seen
their garbage out on garbage day. I'm
pretty sure these 4 neighbors do not grow
dope, but I could be wrong?
What did I
spot? (still visible when vacated?)
[ ] There are hoses running from doors
or windows on the exterior of the house.
I have never seen this
either. Is it because they take more care or
the growers amongst my neighborhood are
tidy?
What did I spot? (still visible when
vacated?) [ ] Instances of
visitors parking down the street and walking
to the house. There is excessive vehicle
and/or pedestrian traffic day or night at
unusual hours.
Do you have kids? My
one neighbor has a 17 year old daughter at
home and I have seen all of what you
described here with her and her Dad's house.
Was this a dealer or a grower?
What did I
spot? (still visible when vacated?)
[ ] The occupants appear to have moved
in at night.
Like this never
happens, every time I have moved, it was
nightfall before I finished. Every time.
What
did I spot? (still visible when vacated?)
[ ] It is never possible to see
activity at the house but there is lots of
garbage.
I thought they didn't
have any garbage? And there was unemployed
activity you were watching all the time?
What
did I spot? (still visible when vacated?)
WOW! Everyone
in my neighborhood is growing pot! How
could I have missed all these clues?
Absolutely infuriating. - Come sniff around
my window, garage or electrical box - I have
rights too, and a LARGE one is my privacy -
if it does not apply or exist at my home,
then where? What is our Right to Privacy
for?
Just about anything is being published
today, it's getting harder and harder to
dissect the truths.
