DEA came to house today!

[Times Roman]

sounds very strange! they came in. you didn't say they had warrants. why would federal agents go through all the work of research and not have warrants?

at a minimum, can you keep your gear at a buddies house for awhile?

You know what...thinking back...most of the cases my parents got were because of snitches. They catch someone doing something, and that guy says "well..I know a guy..."

It's entirely possible someone got in trouble for something, and they snitched you out to save themselves...and the agents went over there to "probe" you.

I've got more than a few Federal Agents in my family, and I've never heard of any of them just showing up at someones house because of what they ordered in the mail. Even if that were the case, it wouldn't be DEA showing up at your house about something you ordered in the mail.

Something doesn't sound right here.

thanks for the input, a couple things I left out:

1. I ordered the ephedrine around 8 months ago.

2.Then about 4 months later, I bought more ephedrine at a chain drug store and in Calif, you have to give your drivers license and the pharmacist tells you the information gets turned in.

3. 2 weeks ago I did the same thing, bought more ephedrine at a chain drug store and in Calif.

So a total of around 90 pills in about 8 months. Could this be why the DEA thinks we might be cooking meth?

getting the gear out of the house sounds like a good idea.

My wife let them in innocently, they showed badges but did not show a warrant. She figured we had nothing to hide.

They told her I ordered ephedrine over the internet and that they were following up as "routine", checking if we were possibly cooking meth.

After they looked around, they left and on the way out, even said "sorry we bothered you, you don't seem like people who'd be making meth, but we have to follow up".

They did not leave a business card, and they were supposed to call me on my cell phone but have not done so yet. This visit happened at 8:00 AM (and it is now 3:00).

Any more thoughts?

That's very strange and scary....

I would store the gear somewhere else for awhile, and just wait it out.

DEA for ephedrine over the internet?? sounds like a waste of time for the DEA....
