Busted!: If you're doing anything illegal in your home, you might wanna think twice about missing those mortgage payments

If your house is in foreclosure, isn't it kind of a foregone conclusion that at some point, you'd get a visit from your friendly banker coming to inspect the place?  Apparently Angel Wayhung Kou, of Rancho Cucamonga, Ca. was either really stupid or wasn't thinking all that clearly on account of the fumes of the funny stuff he was growing, in massive quantities, in his home -- a crop of marijuana worth an estimated $4.5 million. He got himself busted....

Angel Wayhang Kou, 30, of Rancho Cucamonga was booked into jail on suspicion of cultivating marijuana, maintaining a residence for drugs, theft of utilities and conspiracy.

He posted bail and was released Saturday, according to police records.

"The likelihood of other people being involved is probably high," said police Sgt. Jeff Decker. "But he's the only one we have in custody at this time."

Police began investigating the case Thursday when the bank employee inspecting a foreclosed house in the 14500 block of Mammoth Place found pot plants inside.

Narcotics officers seized more than 2,000 mature marijuana plants. Evidence there led police to another house used to grow marijuana in the 6200 block of Long Cove in Fontana, where officers found 500 mature plants and 150 harvested buds weighing more than 150 pounds.

"They had probably well into the hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of equipment in both homes, between the lights, the electrical, the water, the filtering and venting systems," Decker said.
