When we were selling our old house in the semi-ghetto, we had a cop come up to our house.

Der... no, we were living there the past two years... it was obvious he was just trying to snoop, making sure someone actually lived there while it was on the market and that it wasn't a grow house cover or something. Needless to say, he did not come in, and he barely got to see inside... which is a good thing, because a pipe was on the coffee table. ;)
