For all its worth, I 4th it.

mill commented on the probable chemicals in the back of the truck. I would have zoomed in on that and take a pic.

Looking forward to an update.

As to those that say she is defamating her neighbors. Only she knows who they are. The likely hood of anybody on these forums recognizing a house from the back are highly unlikely. It's not like she gave the address or phone number or even took pictures of the actual neighbors. Maybe they would recognize the truck or RV but thats even a stretch. Even then you would still need to find out who they were. No identifiable information has been given out about her neighbors for them to be defemated.

I still think those that say to mind your own business in a case like this are worried about the law coming and knocking on their door.

WakeboardrB,

You obviously know nothing about the production of methamphetamines then. I have been trained in drug detection and investigation and I can tell you outright that while this could be 100% legit, many of the tell tale signs of meth production are there. You don't see it because you don't know exactly what to look for.

We had a case on post several months ago where the guy was cooking/storing his meth in a styrofoam cooler just inside post boundaries because he thought that if the cops came by his house, they would never think to look on the military reservation for his drugs that he was making. Just by chance, one of our game warden officers was out in the range complex and saw this guy out there looking suspicious. Turns out that this cheap, styrofoam cooler was full of meth. My buddy caught his license plate and vehicle description as he drove off hurriedly. When the civilian PD raided his house, he had 5 HE grenades, 2 AK-47's and an AR-15 along with other implements of destruction. So while you think someone should mind their own business, someone else is committing a serious crime and making it appear like something normal. Hell, for all my buddy knew, there was just fish in the cooler that he caught at a nearby pond.

FWIW- Those of you telling her to "mind her own business" need to remember that where there are large quantities of drugs, violence often follows. If someone gets wind that there's a trailer full of weed or whatever waiting to be knocked off, they might drop by, shoot the place up and take what they want. I sure as hell wouldn't want that possibly happening next door to me. I have no problem with weed, but don't grow the sh*t in a residential area, okay?

 

[WakeboardrB]

Ok, someone tell me exactly what evidence there is of this being a meth lab?

and in the same vein, what evidence do you have that it isn't?

once my parents called the cops to check out a guy who had parked his car in front of our house and was sleeping in it. they were afraid that he might have been up to something or what (looking back, that would have been one dumb criminal but anyways.) turns out he was a relative of one of our neighbors and they weren't home yet to let him in. in the pre cell phone age, he just wound up crashing in his car.

is that too paranoid?

it's one thing to park an RV on your property. i have a neighbor that does that. but he's also had that thing for years and has a huge truck to tow it with, and we've talked to him about his camping trips. suddenly an RV shows up, ok no real cause for concern. but there's constant power to it when there's a perfectly good house right next to it? plus a hose? what kind of hosts are you if you're letting people stay in an rv? the bf goes by to fill the propane tanks but hasn't done much else? hasn't left yet? its just too... weird to let pass and you start to worry if they're up to something.

property value is one thing. concern for the neighborhood is definitely another. my parents live in a neighborhood with a neighborhood watch sign and some random kid still tried to break in. since then they've installed an alarm system and added locks to some of the bedroom doors. you worry about your family if something OUT OF THE ORDINARY happens.

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?

 

[mindless1]

I agree, there is no evidence of a meth lab or pot.

All we have is evidence of fairly normal activity for an RV... GO FIGURE!

Most of you are acting irrational, clearly a sign of drug abuse. Your neighbor has noticed and together we'll have every governmental agency we can get, out there, poking into your life and taking up your time as much as possible. 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.

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.

Why are you our neighbor??? If not then nothing is being done to you, period.

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.

There is no evidence of it being meth lab but it is at the very least suspicious activity (IE - out of the norm for the neighborhood).

They did the right thing calling.

Wow, talk about extremes! The RV is in plain site of a couple of neighbors as you can tell by the pictures so throw that privacy out the window. If they were doing whatever they were doing in the RV in their home I'm sure FettsBabe wouldn't of noticed and in turn wouldn't of been concerned. All the suspicious activity has been in plain site of the neighbors and since no one is living in the RV you would wonder why they are supplying power and water to it 24/7.

There is a big difference being concerned with your neighbors suspicious activity and phoning the police one time to investigate(taking at most 30 minutes of their time) and having the goverment monitor you 24/7 in every room of your house.

Yeah, and that wind is the intarweb, and fetts is spreading it pretty well. Suppose some one recognized this trailer and the neighbourhood.... hmmm.

Here's some more

Par for the course for our resident Professional E-Asshole. I must confess, I'm very e-intimidated by his aggressive e-posturing. I hope I don't e-wet myself out of sheer e-panic.

You are absolutely correct. My brother is in LE in SC and he tells me horror stories of meth labs in the trunks of cars, RV's, PLAY HOUSES in BACKYARDS :Q.
This , in RURAL South Carolina.... Makes me ill....

My first thought was "meth lab" when I read the original post. Second was "Grow room" then I'm back to "meth lab".
All these armchair lawyers will change their tune in a few years when they grow up and it's THEIR house the activity is taking place next to.

 

[WakeboardrB]

It just doesn't add up though. What reason would they have to leave those lights on all the time? Especially after they were asked why the trailer was back there. It would just bring unneeded attention to it.

I guess we'll find out soon enough. I just hope those poor people aren't growing, it would be a shame to get busted for cultivation because of a nosey paranoid neighbor.

But we are all getting too focused on the idea of meth lab and not the fact that it's just plain suspicious. Could be making b0mbs in there, or his kiddie pr0n, who knows. Citizens don't have to determine what's gong on before they call the police, that's what they're for, for pete's sake. Besides, criminals, druggies, and a good majority of people in general aren't that smart, so they forget the light on or don't care that it's on.

It would be a shame?? I'm not taking an opinion on pot being legal or not but right now it's not, so you get busted. Ah heck, I should ease up, it would be a shame if they got busted for making only a little meth or whatever for personal use and friends.

Boy I sure hope it turns out that something that shouldn't be happening was going on over there, that would be a lesson to many of you.

edit: typo

 

[CChaos]

I love the analogy of comparing it to walking into McDonald's with a loaded gun. It's just like that!
No, it is. Really. It really is.

Not that much of a shame, they could've set up their operation in their basement & no one would be the wiser, but instead there is this shrine of a camper in their backyard with electricity, water, and blazing lights 24/7... that high degree of dumbness (if they are 'farming' in this manner) cannot be tolerated

i request updates be put in the first thread. half these posts are irrelevant and 300+ posts are a lot to wade through.

 

[Karsten]

She is minding her own business. She has every right to have her and her whole family in a safe environment. I wouldn't hesitate a minute to call the cops. Glad You did Babe!

What you basically see in this exchange is the same thing you find over and over in this Forum. The attitude of "I don't think it is bad, so I don't care it is illegal". Grow up, understand that laws are there for the common good even if they don't make sense to you. If you have a problem with a law... well you live in a democracy, work on changing it, collect signatures and work on it. But not to report a crime, or suspicious behavior is accessory in my opinion. ENOUGH SAID!

You're right, I forgot pot is legal. They shouldn't get in trouble for that.

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.
