[QUOTE="Storyteller01, post: 2866056, member: 20931"] Haven't read the whole thread yet. Your best drug dens have a legitimate front business that don't seem valuable (sya a mirror store, or a laundry service), as well as high end nobility on the take. Drawing attention may not be such a bad thing in this regard. Stink bomb traps may work.
