He's referring to her posting within the thread as opposed to the OP. Kinda hard to wade through all these posts.

If you feel it's a waste of your time, then simply don't read the thread. You'll know something, when we know something. Exactly what sort of update do you want right now??? The proper people have been called, nothing more is known at this time.i request updates be put in the first thread. half these posts are irrelevant and 300+ posts are a lot to wade through.

After all, who knows WHAT you might be doing in the privacy of your own home! If you don't like the idea of privacy, move to a country where it isn't valued. ... and wash your car because we want it pretty for the pictures.
Hey now, don't go getting all logical and reasonable. People here hate that kind of stuff.Originally posted by: rmrf

(1st statement) Fairly normal avtivity includes:
water
electricity
lights
propane being used
Yes, this is all normal activity for someone who is living in the RV. As the original post, and many thereafter, have stated; nobody is living in the RV. Yet, the lights are on, for some reason there is water in there, a fan type noise was heard coming from the RV, and the propane tanks are constantly being filled up. This is hardly normal activity for this situation.
(2nd statement) Yes, who knows what you may be doing in the privacy of your own home, that is for everyone to wonder and for you to know. This is not being done in the privacy of the neighbors home. There is an ass ugly RV and truck in the backyard, and suspicious activity going on. When the neighbor was confronted, he said that he was a pro frisbee player! Ok, so why is the RV constantly being serviced while nobody is living in it? This is definitely suspicious activity, and even if nothing comes of it, the most time wasted was everyone on the board reading through posts and coming up with their own conclusions. Maybe this person lives in a small town, and the PD is looking for something to do, you never know.
Just my $0.02, take it or leave it.

Ok, someone tell me exactly what evidence there is of this being a meth lab?
There is no evidence of it being a meth lab. However, there's also no evidence supporting it NOT being a meth lab. The police have been contacted and will deal with the issue either way. Drop it.
So there isn't any real evidence of a meth lab. But the cops were called anyway. Am I the only one who is uncomfortable with this?
I hate it when people don't read the damn posts. Criminals get away with what they do most often because they disguise their illegal activities as something other than what it is. In this case, there is sufficient suspicion here to warrant an closer look, period. This scenario has been played out time and again across the nation in the production of meth, that is a fact. Saying there's nothing here to support the idea that they could be producing meth is being naiive. I've already stated several identifying traits of this being a meth lab. Meth is so prevalent here in Kansas, that most retailers have their systems setup so that if someone comes in and buys rat poison, Sudafed and camping fuel, the system is triggered and the entire transaction recorded or noted somehow. You're not trained in criminal investigation and can't see the forrest through the trees on this one. This scenario is just as likely to be a meth lab as it is not to be one and simply letting it slide is too much of a risk considering the extreme hazards of meth production.

Would you really want to spend time around neighbors that are this wacko? (I mean FettsBabe, not the RV owner).Originally posted by: chasem

Why are you our neighbor??? If not then nothing is being done to you, period.Am I the only one who is uncomfortable with this?
If we feel unsafe that's enough cause to warrant us calling the cops. If they are legit, then they have nothing to worry about. You don't live next door to us, and you have no idea how this makes us feel, so what's your real point, other than to try and make us feel guilty because our neighbors make us feel like we may be in danger.
Since when is their right to privacy more important than my right to be safe??? Guess the next time someone walks into a McDonalds with a loaded gun, we all should sit back and give him the benefit of the doubt too. Exactly when do you act on suspicion??? The proper officals will examine the situation and determine if action needs to be taken.
Of course if this is all unfounded, I'll be more than happy to post here and say I was wrong. However if it's found out we're right, I imagine all you "mind your own business" types will slink into the night.

I can't believe I missed this thread.
The activties you describe are definately suspicious, but they are also quite possibly totally innocent. Either way, it is good that you informed the local police as you are in a state with a large Meth problem and thier are telltale signs there. If you were in Suburban MD as I am, it would be somewhat less likely although we have found a few basement/kitchen production facilities around here.
You could pretty easily tell if they were growing CDS Marijuana in there by seeing the light leakage from the non blacked out windows, if you had access to an infrared camera, that would probably be helpful as well,as that is a dead giveaway.
The propane containers as well as the various other containers filled with unknown substances in the back of that pickup are also very common traits of a meth lab. He could have benzene, acetone, starter fluid, etc in those. Extremely dangerous, any given the distance from the house, you may not be able to smell anything.

don't get me wrong i watch out for neighboors but i don't get in to my neighboors business either. I know what time most my neighboors are home or not and if i saw a robbery in progress i would call the cops but don't think that will happen any time soon as 2 of my neighboors are cops. However as i said before i don't mind in to there business. If this happened at one my nighboor i woudn't call the cops or even zooning. The reason for not calling is once in about 2-3 week a patrol goes by here during regular patroll, alot of times they do it during evening patroll so if they decided that the rv is suspecious they could investigate but i woudn't call them to come and do the investigationOriginally posted by: Jzero

I watch out for my neighbors.
One time I saw three shady-looking guys walking down the beach. My beach is right near Atlantic City, which isn't the nicest town in the world. These guys didn't fit the typical set. Wearing Doc Marten's, baggy jeans, wife beaters. Not everyone on the beach is wearing a bathing suit, but they were wearing ordinary street clothes and quite frankly they looked out of place. But even "urban" types probably like to get out of the city heat and check out the pretty rich girls once in awhile.
So I chastized myself for judging them based on their appearance.
Later, they came up the beach the other way, but one was walking apart from the other two. As I watched from my chair the third guy walked up to someone's site (they had both gone for a walk on the beach) casually picked up their bag, and then ran towards the other two who were already making their way towards the dunes.
So much for not juding people. Luckily I was able to flag down a nearby beach patrol truck. The trio was arrested. They had been stealing bags all day.
Trust your gut.

OK so no drugs but I was really hoping you'd get more info than that, like what actually is that thing being used for!
UPDATE: The cops came out and looked at it. They couldn't find any drugs, THANK GOD! They said he was weird and thought his wife drinked. They are going to keep an eye on it because it was a weird set-up. That makes me feel better. I haven't spoke to zoning yet.

i wonder why the cops told u that they thought the woman "drinked"...its not very professional of them, i mean it had nothing to do with what you were worried about and doesnt seem to be any of your business
