Lately, around here, the dodge has been to find an absentee landlord
with a house to rent and convert the whole thing to a grow operation.
The last one that local law enforcement busted had no one living in
the house but the "farmer' bought a car to park in front of the house
and paid someone to periodically move it. The local electrical
utility eventually got suspicious. A quick check turned up 3 other
similar operations run by the same guy.
A quick perusal of the local CL shows a couple of current listings
offering 1000W 145K lumen "expanded spectrum" bulbs and fixtures for
"agriculture".
Those must be some mighty expensive carrots. But they'd probably
erase a bunch of EPROMs pretty fast.
