warning from neighbour or subtle threat?

Hey everyone.
I've gotten pretty comfy smoking joints in my back garden, I've been spotted by my neighbours on both sides but didn't take any notice. I was walking to the shops this morning and the guy who lives on my right said "We can smell really strong cannabis quite frequently, we don't mind but watch out for the rest of the houses around here because someone could complain."
I'm just not sure if he was giving me a heads up or it was just his way of telling me to stop.
Any thoughts?

"you're smoking cannabis, we don't like it. We could call the police on you, but we'd rather you showed a little consideration and stopped/cut down on it."
I'm glad its not just me who thinks it was a veiled warning. The neighbour did seem a bit too understanding. He was saying "Oh I was in the army, I've seen heroin and cannabis plants so it doesn't bother me." If he brought it up then its not the case.
Whowhere: If you don't mind me asking, if the police did pay me a vist, what do you think would happen?
Depends on the cop, they'd either warn you, or search your house and nick you.
If you really want to smoke outside, maybe started putting mainly tobacco in your joints, and smoking two instead of one or something? Or, get a weed vaporizer https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=weed+vvaparizors&sugexp=chrome,mod=15&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#q=weed+vaporizers&hl=en&safe=off&prmd=imvns&source=univ&tbm=shop&tbo=u&sa=X&ei=q75QUNn0CYK3hAfV94CICA&ved=0CEEQrQQ&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.r_qf.&fp=6e6c3cbc1f1770d5&biw=1024&bih=499 so you can take weed inside without their being smoke if you're worried about that
I'm just going to be more careful of the where and when if I light up.
Thanks again for the advice everybody.
Then take 1 or 2 joints, and go for a walk. I don't know where you live, or if it's rough.
But just have a smoke and walk, somewhere quiet, parks what not.
By the time people have smelt the weed, you'll be gone and there's no proof it's you.
You keep telling yourself that.....:thumb:
...You're not a police officer are you?
Stay away from my crunchy nut crack.
Heh heh
Just show a bit more discretion towards you neighbour.
pcso, but we go on drug warrants as well. Last one I went on I was checking cereal boxes.....
But as Skive said, we don't tear someone's house apart after a complaint about the smell, not unless it becomes a regular occurrence. You're more likely to have someone having a quiet word with you about an "alledged smell coming from your property".
And i honestly didn't think police would check cereal :') As a pcso, any top tips where police can't look for drugs?
Even if you're out on the street and get caught with drugs in your possession you'd be very unlucky to have them come and search your house. Most searches come as the result of information being passed to the police about dealers.
This.
I've done searches before, but more so to assure that somebody isn't hiding anything dodgy or harmful, rather than in anything evidence based police work etc.
