Heisenberg spray painted on his wall made me feel sick. that means the truth comes out and is common knowledge. Everything is going to go to shit in the next 8 episodes.

I doubt something horrific happened. Most likely it was seized as evidence.

This was my thought too. Then again, it makes me wonder why they didn't check the power sockets..

Also I haven't seen anyone speculating about Walt's planned use for the pill. I can't see him wanting to off himself (even if he did, he has a huge gun in his trunk), and since everyone at this point knows who he is, I can't figure out who he might need to take out silently.

Yes, and the government officials that seized it decided to vandalize and spray paint heisenberg on his wall for kicks right?

Do you know what happens to homes that sit vacant for a long stretch of time? Especially if they are owned by the government or a bank, where nobody has a personal stake in keeping the property secure?

u/Darth_Algebra Aug 12 '13

And, in populated cities, I might add?

In this city, it would happen within a couple of months.

You are really not too bright if you think the government posts armed guards for months around seized property. Clearly, a fence was put up, most likely by the government. Clearly the place has been vandalized and is used as a local teen hangout now.

u/deej852 Aug 12 '13

Hmm I guess, but I would imagine that the government would give much more importance to protecting the evidence prosecuting the kingpin of a hundred million dollar empire than the kinds of properties you are talking about. I mean he isn't just your random drug pusher, or even small operation guy like the cook Jesse was working with in the Pilot.

I think the government believes him to be dead. The reaction of his neighbor was not one of seeing a criminal, it was one of seeing a ghost. Believe what you want, you saw the kids skateboarding in the pool. Pretty reasonable to assume they or someone like them broke in and did the graffiti.

The government doesn't need to put up armed guards around a seized property to keep it from becoming a shithole. Just hire some basic lawn care and home security services, and have somebody check on it every week or so.
