Strange Smell From Neighbor's House
    #25351146 -

Recently I've been noticing a strange smell coming from my neighbor's house. Usually its in the late afternoon or evening. It smells like nail polish remover or paint thinner. The smell is strong.  Standing in my backyard 30 or 40 feet away from their house the smell is strong and unpleasant.

We don't know them very well. They rent and have only lived there for less than a year. They keep to themselves and don't talk to any of the neighbors.

My concern is that they have a meth lab going in there. What else could be causing that smell?  I don't want an explosion or other bad meth lab related shit to happen.

If it was you what would you do?

They're still alive. They come and go everyday. The smell has been happening for the last two months.

Are they artists? Maybe it is paint thinner, the smell is crazy strong but it would still be weird to smell from that far away. I don't know what a meth lab would smell like.

They're doing something sketchy.  Nothing smells that strongly that isn't totally hidden for months.  I keep to myself too and my neighbors still wondered if my glass equipment was for manufacturing drugs.  Tanks hoses torch glass tools and concentrators that sound like machine pumps I don't blame them.  The smell is a dead giveaway though any artist or person involved in chemical work would have appropriate ventilation and protective gear and ALSO NOT BE SO SKETCHY.

I'm an artist. When I started, I was foolish and didn't use proper ventilation techniques. I'd just keep windows open, back door open, etc. I would use a large amount of a variety of paint thinners, mineral spirits and materials along the same vein. But, you wouldn't have been able to smell it from that far away still.

I don't know what a meth lab would smell like but I googled it and this came back:

Quote:
There is more than one way to cook meth, but if you see or smell these chemicals together, they might indicate a meth lab.

acetone
isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol or Iso-Heet fuel treatment)
methyl alcohol (wood spirits or Heet fuel treatment)
lye as in Red Devil lye
crystal or liquid iodine
mineral spirits
bleach
anhydrous ammonia
sulfuric acid (car battery acid)
hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid)
matches/matchbox strikers (for red phosphorus)
cold tablets containing ephedrine or pseudoephedrine
white gas
lithium (from lithium batteries)
trichloroethane (solvent for gun cleaning)
sodium metal or rock or table salt
ether (starter fluid)
toluene


Every site kept stating that it could smell like strong paint thinner or nail polish remover. Seems like you may have a neighboring meth lab.

What would I do, if I were you? Mind my own business. Then again, I don't know how close this house is to you, my knowledge of meth labs is minimal, and I don't know your general living circumstances so I can't give advice as to what you should do.

Mind my own business. Sometimes you get great neighbours, sometimes you get smelly/noisy ones.

Shoot a round thru a window and watch it go up in meth flames.
Forreal tho I'd mind my biz less I had kids if I had kids it tell the landlord what I though was happening first and let him got police if he decides.
I don't do cops for any reason.

Talk to the neighbor. Stay calm and polite. Mention the smell, ask if they know about it. If they are causing the smell could they do something about filtration/ventilation. Phrase your concerns about paint fumes,  keep it friendly, about the comfort of living there. Don't accuse them of anything.

I know if my meth lab was stinking up the neighborhood I'd want to know about it, and have the opportunity to fix it before something happened.

If they didn't look like sketchy AF people... I would probably leave an Anonymous note. I don't want anyone cooking to know that I smell something going on. I would just write down that you smell what you smell and it's making you nauseated/sick... That would be enough for the people that live there to freak the fuck out and do something about it (for fear of this anonymous person reporting it to the cops) or if they just keep going it may be innocent like painting/staining furniture or something...

If you can smell acetone that strongly then I would report it to police.  Even if they aren't manufacturing drugs, the smell of acetone for so long from a residence tells you that they could be doing something dangerous.  If you can smell acetone outside then the concentration in their place could be high enough to cause an explosion.  Or they're just venting it outside and they don't care if you smell it.

Report it to police.  It could be dangerous.  If they're cooking drugs and your call sends them to prison then it's their own fault.

Report it to police.

Build a cheap fume hood and drop it on their porch with a box of Sudafed.

Meth labs smell sweet. They could be getting liquid cocaine. Needs to be cooked and refined but is easier to get through customs.

It's easy to turn and mind your business, just as easy to make a call to your local pd. I would say do what your gut tells you.

Thanks for all the feedback everyone. I've been procrastinating, trying to figure out what to do about this. But I haven't smelled that smell for the last week. Hopefully they are done with whatever they were doing over there.

Maybe they're terrorist mixing Tatp it's a mix of acetone strong peroxide and muriatic acid that gives a dangerous explosive not supposed to be stable at all if it's stinking from that far they must be doing buckets at the time

...that was my conspiracy theory ...now what i'd do ...

Ask them if they knew where this odor is from and what is causing it ...

If they are preparing explosive they will freak out kill you on place ,grab on theyre own balls ripping em with force

Start running nude with balls in there hands yelling loudly and leave this world in a boom from there house ...

Or it may be a old person just retired from work who just discovered a passion for ebenistery and he keeps building sanding and polishing chairs and tables turning wood on a daily basis for making legs ...

Well thats what i taught ...for a second
