IS MY NEIGHBOR A DRUG DEALER? 7 Major Warning Signs.

They don’t seem to have a 9-5 job, but there’s a new Cadillac parked in the driveway …

You never see them at the block party.

You aren’t sure why, but you get anxious when you cross paths —

You aren’t sure why, but you get anxious when you cross paths — and you’re ge3ng sick of it.

If you have a sneaky suspicion that your neighbor is dealing drugs, you might be right.

Here are a few signs that can tell you if you’re right to be wary of your neighbors.

1. CONSTANT FOOT TRAFFIC

Throughout the day and night, your neighbor has a range of visitors that stay for a few minutes, then leave.

If the “friends” seem to be looking over their shoulders, that may mean that something shady is going on.

2.WEIRD SMELLS

Any large amount of drugs will have a dis<nct smell.

If you smell chemicals or fer<lizer coming from their house, they probably aren’t conducUng science projects.

2.WEIRD SMELLS

Just because they’ve been busted in the past doesn’t mean they stopped selling drugs.

If you think your neighbor has a history of criminal behavior, perform a background check.

3. THEIR BACKGROUND CHECK REVEALS A DRUG HISTORY

A BACKGROUND CHECK CAN REVEAL

• Criminal Convic<ons: From felonies to minor crimes, like traffic Uckets.

• Known Aliases: If they’ve been caught by the cops in the past, they might be operaUng under a fake name.

• Address History: Do they move from house to house every few months?

A BACKGROUND CHECK CAN REVEAL

• Warrants: Find out if they have any open warrants — and if you should be worried.

• Known Associates: Are they involved with someone who has a seedy past?

4. THEY COME AND GO AT STRANGE TIMES

You don’t see them for weeks at a Ume, then suddenly they’re going in and out of the house 20 <mes a day.

If their schedule doesn’t make sense, it might be because drug dealers have poor <me management skills.

If the curtains are always pulled shut, even on a hot day, they might be hiding something shady

going on inside the house.

5. ALL THE WINDOWS ARE BLOCKED OFF

2. ELABORATE SECURITY SYSTEM

Any large amount of drugs will have a dis<nct smell.

Do they seem extra paranoid?

They might be worried about enemies stealing their stash or their cash.

7. THE LIGHTS ARE ALWAYS ON

Even with blackout curtains, you can see that the lights are always on inside.

Their living room might be a marijuana grow room, and those plants need lots of light to survive.
