I heard a story of one wireless operator that rented an apartment in a 
high rise building and used it for a cell site.  One of the neighbors 
became suspicious of people coming and going at all hours of the day and 
night and called the cops.  They apparently thought someone had set up a 
drug lab in the apartment.

In Arizona, there are cell towers disguised as catuses.

I've also heard heard stories about cell sites in not-so-nice 
neighborhoods in large cities.  In that case, the technicians get to see 
a lot of wild life, instead of wildlife at 0200.
