Abandoned homes are favorite dens for drug dealers. Its been known that when residents are frustrated by a lack of police intervention, someone in the neighborhood will take it upon themselves to set the house on fire in order to rid the dealers from the area. On the flip side, if police do apprehend and arrest a dealer, they will often send someone back to set the house on fire in retaliation for being arrested. It's a catch-22 scenario that is all to common.
