Obviously all the homeowners who read DealBreaker bought their pads in cash, but for the one or two of you with mortgages, listen up: make those payments. And we don't say this because we care about you losing your house or because we're worried about more securitized mortgage products defaulting, but because if you don't the government's going to come poking around and when they do they're going to find the grow house you set up and you will go to prison. Period. End of sentence. (On the plus side, you'll no longer have to go into the office every day with the gripping fear you're about to get laid off, but you'll also be robbing yourself of the chance to be one of the lucky recipients of a visit from The Cheeseteak Fairy, who does not make house calls.)

I heard heavy marijuana use by men can cause their testicles to shrink. For some reason now, Bear Stearns recent troubles just flashed in my mind.

The cops in Fort Lauderdale just ask the power company to report unusually high power bills (all them lights you know).
Then they stake the place out. If nobody comes or goes for a week, they get a court order and bam! pot farm closed.
Usually, the dope-fiend is five states away, but they shut it down, burn the weed in a pile and the bank takes over.
Happens monthly.
