I was awakened before Sunrise by big engines in my cul de sac in SC but no sirens. A meth lab had been discovered not a hundred feet from my door and just around the corner of another house so that I could not see the doorway of the cooker's house.
While chatting with the Chief of Police, he took me to task for not being a good nosey neighbor and knowing what my neighbors were up to.
There after I did become a good neighbor.
Soon the homeowner of the meth lab, not the cooker that went away right away, began intimidating the single women in the neighborhood. I took to letting them and him know that I was always armed, even to the point of OC while around my yard.
I had the PD park obsolete cruisers in my front yard, encouraging the notion that I was - perish the thought - a cop.
Another time I saw two professional ladies enter a nearby home early in the day and thought hmmmm. It was months later that I realized that the guys that lived there were TVs by night and college kids by day.
Now my nearest neighbor is 500 yards away, up the mountain and South, out of sight. We worry about drugs through our little FBO WI2P2.
