what comes around goes around 5 rating By chayton48 ( Sep 10, 2011) We use to reside in Minden Nv, we think that for the location it is a really beautiful place to live and that it is really a open area with beautiful mountains, lakes and such. We do want to mention that we live next to a couple that we thought were nice people. It turn out to ...Read More be that these individuals were drug smugglers and seem to have a the community in their hands. Everytime we would come home from work or some event or out living our lifes we would encounter problems for instance our horses water troffs would be completely dry, where our horses would get have no water in the hot summer daysOr the abuse that was towards my kids, from the neighbor or neighbors friends or associated friends kids. Or there would be other property damage from broken glass found on our land, also as well there were nails, knives, or other sharp metals or other pieces of stuff in the horses stalls or hurt the senior dogs that we had rescued from the pound. The address that I am referring to is 1273 Melborn Minden NV 89423. Now take notes these people are being watched by the FBI and wouldnt that make you think about your nieghbors. cya chow. Read Less
