My neighbor is a drug dealer, what should I do

My neighbor is a drug dealer, what should I do?
I live in a very nice urban neighborhood in the heart of a major city. All the houses in my neighborhood are 1940's bungalows. The community was originally all white, however white flight took effect in the mid 70's and now the community is mostly African American, however since earlier this century, the community has gone through gentrification and now there are a number of white residents that have moved into the neighborhood. The neighborhood is desirable because of it's proximity to Downtown and that residents over the decades has kept the community up. I moved into the neighborhood three years ago and have not experience or observed or heard of any crime at all. On my street, most of the residents are retire senior citizens that are home all day and serve as my "security system" because they know everybody and seeks out strangers. However on of my elderly neighbors has a great grandson that I am at least 99% sure that sells drugs. He is about 21, does not work, he is home all the time and has no car. I grew up in the rough side of Memphis, Tennessee, so I know the signs of a drug dealer. I see random cars appear, he come out of his basement unit of his great grandmother's house, either gets in the car or goes to the driver window, spend about 2-3 minutes and goes back inside. I have seen this behavior for the past three years. He has a thug appearance, but seems harmless, he is handsome, I notice that he has a young son and a girlfriend that visits frequently. My fear is that one day, a drug deal with go bad and something can happen to his great grandmother, son, or even me since I live directly across the street. I really don't want to get involved. He has never bothered me. I really have no concrete proof, but I am not naive, I lived with drug dealers (my uncle and sister's ex) before and lived amongst others in my neighborhood in Memphis, so I know all the signs, I could become a DEA agent. What do you think I should do? First of all, I am not buying in drugs, secondly, the police would want proof, if I cannot provide proof, they cannot do anything. But I honestly don't think the implications would be I would be killed, that is being dramatic. Lastly, some of you people need to exercise your reading skills.

buy some drugs. you know you want to.... no seriousy, call the cops.
12 :
if you're suspicious, tell the police and ask them to keep an eye on them! if it's not bothering you then why care haha. If you no when the deals usually happen (ex: mondays around 7:30) let the police no that and maybe an undercover can stay by and check it out... thats your best bet! OF COURSE you dont want anyone getting hurt.

FUCKIN TELL THEM TO HOOK YOU UPP! are you stupid?

Contact the popo or talk to the Attorney General. FBI's an option as well.

19 :
LMAO...you are not "naive" and you "could become a DEA agent", but YOU do not know what to do??????? Let me help you, CALL THE POLICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DUH!
20 :
You should call the police and report it without giving your name, just say you have witnessed strange things and describe what you just said...except I would leave out the completely unnecessary description of the neighborhood and its racial makeup.
21 :
Call the police
22 :
Keep your bloody nose out of other people affairs, you could some come back you really don't want.Those types of people don't take too kindly to grasses I bet your curtains are moving all day. Mind your own.......its not your place to get involved
23 :
1) Purchase some drugs 2) Don't do anything, it's better to mind your own business. Even if there is a witness protection program, he'll see your face and then names won't help. Furthermore, even if he goes to prison, he is still capable of sending someone else to harm you (god forbid). By the way, your question is excessively long.
24 :
Keep your mouth shut about it. Nobody likes a snitch. Specially drug dealers. And so what if he is a drug dealer? Like you said, he has done nothing to you so why would you want to piss him off? Im a drug dealer. Are you going to call the cops on me for it?
25 :
call the Narcotics Unit of Police department, and simply state that you have observed suspicious activity. Start taking down license plate numbers of cars driven by persons you suspect are purchasing drugs. good luck. Police need community involvement to combat crime. While recreational drug use in and of itself is harmless, drug profits are used to finance criminal enterprises, and eventually violence is a result.
26 :
First off, stop using stereotype shit about "thug" and races etc... that's a load of crap, anyone can be a damn drug dealer! now on to the real subject. If he isnt a high time drug dealer (a big boy) then cops will most likely not give a damn about him. They will use him as bait to get to his sources. Once this happens, he will want to find out who snitched on him, and which case, I wouldn't want to be around. nonetheless, you dont want it to continue on for the safety of yourself and your neighbors. If you're brave enough, I would talk to the cops and somehow get them to send and undercover in to buy drugs. I live next to a drug dealer, and the only reason I went to the cops was because they were smoking their weed when they had a little 3 year old and a 6 month old in the house with them... which I am very very against. The cops didnt do shit though. Took the guy to jail for 2 days, hes back out... smoking weed again with his kids... If you honestly fear for your safety then tell the cops......otherwise just leave it alone.

He lives with his grandma and has no car? He must be a crappy dealer. I think if he was dealing amounts that could pose serious risks in the neighborhood, he'd at least have a nice car. I wouldn't worry...

it deff is since the ticket alone is so expensive you are really getting your worth for your bucks no its not cheap of course but if you wanted to go to this place since your were 9 deff go!
2 :
hell fuc-n yeah its worth it
3 :
Since it includes airfare, accommodations, transportation and food, I'd say it's reasonable. If you are thinking you want to spend more time there, then you could pass on it and study abroad in Egypt when you go to college. Studying abroad for a summer, semester, or year will be cheaper for the amount of time you will spend there than this however, it's really up to you and your financial situation. If you want to be an Egyptologist, then I'd say you should study abroad in Egypt in college regardless of whether you do this or not.
4 :
Yes. I lived in Egypt for 20 years you can not beat the package. Bring sun block if you are going in the summer. Enjoy
5 :
Yes, it might be a once in a lifetime opportunity. check other rates though just in case
6 :
sounds like a good deal. Tours get better rates at hotels and transportation. see if its a 3 or 4 star hotel. check how much a flight is on expedia.com what will be the exchange rate for the dollar. will it cost you more like the euro does.
7 :
That would be actually less than the number you put. And if it is really that amount then absolutely yes!!!
8 :
It is worth it, and i'm not ONLY saying this because i'm an Egyptian and i love Egypt. I'm saying this because i have lived in Egypt, Loved Egypt, put Egypt in my heart and i haven't even gone to these places. Your so lucky to have this opportunity because to be honest some Egyptians that live in Egypt never even tried going to these places. it's going to be hot but trust me you will have the time of your life. since your already very interested to the point that you want to become an Egyptologist, i think you should go. your going to learn stuff that will just fascinate you. i mean i'm just reading this one book about Ancient Egypt called "Nefertiti" and i'm already astonished at the history! Also your 17 so you can work over the summer and help save up for some money that you can spend when you go there, that way your parents don't have to pay for the souvenirs and stuff.
9 :
definately it is good. im going for a 10 day trip soon and am paying just over $7000 canadian. but just a heads up on being an egyptologist, you need close to 8 years education, you can spend near a lifetime just doing all the dirty work for other egyptologists, you may never make a discovery, and the job demand in that area is VERY low. you may never even get a job to work in egypt. i dont know about you but i chose to keep it as a hobby because of all of that
10 :
You want the truth? It's Awesome and totally not a rip off.
11 :
get ur parents to pay for it, enjoy the trip and don't worry about money.
12 :
It is definitely a good price for all that is included. I just returned from a trip to Egypt, seeing all those sites, and only one more that I can think of: Abu Simbel in the far south. My trip was about 13 days and cost about twice as much. We did take the four night Nile cruise, did not have a train ride. I'd really recommend going if you are interested in Egypt. When at the pyramids in Giza, pay the extra small cost and go inside the middle pyramid. You will go up into the tomb room and can say that you have been inside a pyramid. Alarm clocks will not be necessary; you will be awakened by the calls to prayer before dawn each day! and don't try to cross a street in Cairo -- it's got the craziest traffic in the world. If you are going in the summer be prepared for hot weather! Enjoy!

if you are interested in that kind of stuff, like you stated, definitely is worth it. a ticket to egypt is usually $2000 itself so yeah, it's a pretty good deal for 10 days.
2 :
This is an excellent price, take it and you will love the things you'll see and make sure you take your camera with you. The air fair alone will cost about $1300 ( if purchased from US) Luxor is one of the most beautiful sites in Egypt and you are making me jealous........Ha Ha just kidding. You will have the best memories of your life .beside it will help you make more of a sound decision about your future career.
3 :
this is an excellent tour the expences are reasonable make your reservation and enjoy it .
