Last night we were driving home from a movie and dinner and we went to turn up a street to get to our street and it was blocked by the police. I found out 10 minutes after getting home that they are investigating a suspiscious death! It turns out a realtor was found dead in a house in a brand new subdivision! It's not like we live in a high crime neighbourhood either....these home are selling for $964, 000 and is one of the better neighbourhoods in the city. Quite shocking. I'm a bit nervous that there is some murderer in the area now. > Last night we were driving home from a movie and dinner and we went to turn > up a street to get to our street and it was blocked by the police.

The same thing happened in our city years ago and they caught the guy using the realtor's records. gloria p > Last night we were driving home from a movie and dinner and we went to > turn up a street to get to our street and it was blocked by the police.

Well with higher priced homes such as that though there could be drug activity or some other sorts...if you have seen anyone "out of the ordinary , you need to talk to the local precinct.....and be aware of your surroundings, MOST of the time killer's will come back to the place they committed the crime, take an extra look at all your step's...it could be right in front of you, and it can be scary...Good luck and Stay safe...

Amanda (in ICY Ohio) that would be in Australian dollars, not US dollars. and, no, high priced homes are NOT more likely to be drug dealer magnets. and NO, murderers do NOT usually revisit the scene of the crime, unless they happen to live right there. let's no go inducing further panic, ok? :) BTW, there's a house that was recently built next to the schoolbus yard in my town, which is right next to the grade school. i'm pretty sure it's being used to cultivate marijuana & no one really lives there... lee  SignatureLast night while sitting in my chair I pinged a host that wasn't there It wasn't there again today The host resolved to NSA. > BTW, there's a house that was recently built next to the > schoolbus yard in my town, which is right next to the grade > school. i'm pretty sure it's being used to cultivate marijuana > & no one really lives there... > lee If you are serious, have you done anything about it?

Nan > Normally I don't think I'd worry about it either, but if > it's so close to an elementary school, I'd consider it a > no-brainer to report. well, since it's only visited in the dead of night, it's not like the kids even notice anything. as far as anyone knows, it's just a house on the corner. i don't know if i just have a more suspicious mind because i spent a lot of time working with druggies or what, but everyone around here seriously reacts like i'm nuts when i mention it. it seems perfectly obvious to me that no one builds a house, then leaves it empty. from the people i worked with, it actually seems to be exactly the kind of "joke" they'd pull, growing stuff next to a school. of course Public Utilities have to report "excessive" electric bills to local authorities, but i also know from folks i knew at MIT that one can grow weed successfully without metal halyde lights, so there may not be "excessive" electric usage (seriously, i have $300/month electric bills, so what *is* excessive? but i know if i put in matal halyde lights to grow tomatoes, i'd have the Feds at *my* door). one can do interesting things with florescents & aluminum foil... but unfortunately, it doesn't work with tomatoes. lee SignatureLast night while sitting in my chair I pinged a host that wasn't there It wasn't there again today The host resolved to NSA. >>> BTW, there's a house that was recently built next to the >>> schoolbus yard in my town, which is right next to the [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > obviously vacant, except for random tire tracks in snow that > only appear at night...

If a home was built to specifically for the purpose of a farm, then there's a big distribution operation going on and I'd be concerned about how that would effect my immediate community, specifically young people. Just curious Lee, what has given you indications that you think there is a pot-growing operation going on? I'm not doubting you, just curious. Now, someone growing a few plants for their own purpose, wouldn't worry me one bit but the other scenario would. JMO.

If a home was built to [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > indications that you think there is a pot-growing operation > going on? I'm not doubting you, just curious. because the police in the next town over busted 2 pot farms in similar circumstances, just not brand new houses. it's not uncommon around here. i'm immediately suspicious of a new house being built & left unoccupied, with never any lights visible from outside. however large the operation (and i would think this is one of many such farms), it's not being sold locally... the other growers were selling out of state to Boston & NYC. > Now, someone growing a few plants for their own purpose, > wouldn't worry me one bit but the other scenario would. > JMO. yes. i do not think pot should be criminalized. if it wasn't, prisons would be a lot less crowded... and just think of the taxes the government could collect if they simply made it legal & regulated it like tobacco & alcohol... lee SignatureLast night while sitting in my chair I pinged a host that wasn't there It wasn't there again today The host resolved to NSA. > yes. i do not think pot should be criminalized. if it wasn't, > prisons would be a lot less crowded... and just think of the > taxes the government could collect if they simply made it > legal & regulated it like tobacco & alcohol... > lee I'm with you Lee. Marijuana is just not worth the incredible effort that is put into on the part of the criminal justice system. Our deficit could be wiped away if we legalized and taxed pot and prostitution. But that is just my opinion of course. Meth and crack so need the man hours that are being focused on marijuana. I am allergic to pot and cocaine so legalizing marijuana wouldn't benefit me in the least except to seeing our nation better off with the added tax income. Would I report the house in this situation? I don't know. Probably but that's just me. It's not my fear of those farming in the house, it would be my fear that the kids near it would be tempted to take advantage of pot so easily available and get themselves in a dangerous situation. Also just my opinion. Cindi >> yes. i do not think pot should be criminalized. if it >> wasn't, prisons would be a lot less crowded... and just [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > we legalized and taxed pot and prostitution. But that is > just my opinion of course. not to mention that we could then, once again, grow industrial hemp. hemp is a miracle crop. it provides fiber (for both cloth & paper), oil, biomass, doesn't require much water, grows in marginal land, no chemicals... is it no wonder that the Chemical, Cotton & Paper/Pulp Lobbies are so against legalization? industrial hemp has virtually no THC & can't be used as a "drug". > Meth and crack so need the man hours that are being focused > on marijuana.

I think that's what bothers me. A larger operation brings a bad element into the area, especially with a school so close. It shouldn't matter that it seems anyone only visits the house during the night... the element is there any time. Nan > If pot-growing isn't serious enough to report, what about a > crack house? it's not a crack house. cooking crack stinks, which is why it's usually made in rural locations. > who had better things to do in the 60's and 70's > than any kind of drugs me too. i'm violently allergic to pot, to the point i can't be near anyone with it lingering on their clothes. and in the 60s & 70s i was doing drug councilling, so i have quite a good idea about drugs & drug addicts, plus my brother is a poster boy of why not to do drugs... the perfect "look what can happen" example (that isn't dead yet anyway) lee SignatureLast night while sitting in my chair I pinged a host that wasn't there It wasn't there again today The host resolved to NSA. >> If pot-growing isn't serious enough to report, what about a >> crack house? > >it's not a crack house. cooking crack stinks, which is why >it's usually made in rural locations.

They show all of his (many) mug shots in chronological order and the physical deterioration over such a short period of time (maybe a year or so, can't remember) is just incredible. It's a great anti-drug poster for sure. I know they post it at the post office. It's a local thing because the guy is from Manchester. Meth is nasty stuff. JennP. >>> If pot-growing isn't serious enough to report, what about a >>> crack house? [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > >JennP. Similar to this one? This shows a woman. The comments on the blog are interesting though. They think that kids attribute her deterioration to her age (she's 30) http://www.hemmy.net/2007/07/22/downward-spiral-in-the-life-of-a-drug-addict/ SignatureDorothy There is no sound, no cry in all the world that can be heard unless someone listens .. The Outer Limits Similar, only the effect was greater over a shorter period of time. I tried to find it online, to no avail. It's a really startling poster. Maybe Lee has seen it? Still, in the poster you linked she was only 30 in that last one. It's sad. JennP. >>>> If pot-growing isn't serious enough to report, what about a >>>> crack house?

But it's not drug related at all....it's a brand new house for sale no one lives there and there are certainly no squatters as there are people in and out of the area all day long doing construction on the houses next to it. It is likely someone she new as 90% of the time it is. It is looking like she was targetted. She felt uneasy about showing the house to this person and had even asked her boyfriend to go with her. The person called her specifically to show them the home and she is not even the listing realtor. Apparently she was being harrassed by someone. She was only 24 years old. And the currency in Canadian dollars, not Australian dollars >Last night we were driving home from a movie and dinner and we went to turn >up a street to get to our street and it was blocked by the police.
