This story is perfect timing. A few weeks ago everyone on my street got a letter in the mail on the same day. It was from a guy who had just moved into the house directly across the street from me. I've never met him, he lives by himself and he has NV plates. That's all I know about the guy.
The letter was typed out and took up an entire page. He explains that a few nights prior he gets a loud knock on his door at midnight. He wakes up and answers it surprised to find several officers at his door with a search warrant. They explained that if he had not answered the door, they would have used force.
Apparantly one of the neighbors had been snooping into his window well and saw various plants growing under lights and took it upon themselves to call the police. The letter went on to explain how he gladly showed the officers around his house to find nothing illegal. He explained how he is part of a volunteer orginization that helps grow rare and endangered cactus plants.
He sounded pretty calm in the letter, but towards the bottom he was pretty pissed that someone did this to him without ever asking him about it and that he's never even met anyone in the neighborhood or done anything to harm anyone. I'm sure somone felt pretty stupid when they read their letter.
That is pure genious.... he grows Catcus and invites the Police in and shows them around, then after they leave he throws them away and pulls out the Columbian Gold and Maui Waui seeds and grows weed. Everyone in the neighborhood already thinks he is growing Cactus and knows the 5-0 has already check the place out. If the Police get any further calls, etc. they won't bother. Genious!
