Reply #3: I did smoke pot back in the day, but never grew any, especially

[SeattleGirl]

not 700 plants! So I had no idea either. Pot doesn't smell that way when it's being smoked, but apparently it's a real tell-tale sign when numerous plants are being "aired out" in a house. That's how the cops found this guy. They were in the neighborhood late one night, on a domestic dispute a couple of streets away, and noticed the smell. They found out the guy who was living next to us had a rap sheet, and started staking the house out (using our driveway and deck).

The owner has been working on the house for the past few months. I haven't seen the inside, but I think he totally gutted it and started over, and he's also completely re-doing the outside. Hopefully our next neighbor will be a bit better than the last one!
