    Aww, I thought this was going to be one of those exciting ones where you'd thought better of your opening ranty post and deleted it in a fit of pique after getting loads of grief in response.

    I like those ones.

    No, unfortunately not. In summary, empty house opposite, empty for months (previously elderly relative of young male's home who have relocated), male relative visits sometimes 3 times a day (large noisy motorbike so we know when he comes/goes) but his visits last no more than 10-15 mins at most. Is there someone holed up there or is it my imagination.

    Well the cannabis farm seem to be eating lots of canned food as the recycling box is always full! Seems strange.

    Oh and why would cannabis need to be looked after 3 times per day.

    They need a lot of light and water. A lot of cases where I live - houses rented, money paid for the first month then stops .... owners regain occupation many months later to find the place trashed and that the electricity meter has been bypassed with great risk of electrocution/fire, water damage everywhere. These days the majority of cannabis is grown in this country rather than being imported.

    He sometimes goes in with a nearly empty black bin bag but I don't usually see him come out. It's quite a large property and I can only see the front from my house so don't know if lights etc are left on for any plants that might be there. Any other signs I need to look out for.
