Marijuana mansionâs forfeiture upheld by court Grow-op found in $1.33 million home raided by Mounties by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter

Evgenia Rabinovich plays a $535,000 golf leaf Fazioli piano at Aberdeen Centre's Showcase Pianos.
There's gold in those trills 24K gold leaf Fazioli piano on display at Aberdeen A 24K gold leaf Fazioli piano is on public display this month at Aberdeen Centreâs Showcase Pianos/Fazioli, the only one of its kind in the world. Designed by local interior designer Thu
Watson, owner of Metropolitan Furniture in Vancouver, the piano was played Friday by 20-year-old Evgenia Rabinovich, who is back in Richmond on break from studying piano on scholarship at Mannes College in New York. âIt shines in its own way,â said Rabinovich. Sheâs played many Faziolis, and this one sounds different. Whether thatâs because of the use of gold, Rabinovich wasnât sure.
âIt has almost a livelier sound. Itâs more real, not bright, but live.â Manuel Bernaschek, president of Showcase Pianos, said the 24K piano will be delivered to its Vancouver owner, who wishes to remain anonymous, next month. The $535,000 piano flew first class from Italy, where it was made by hand. Itâs the only goldleaf Fazioli piano in the world. âby Martin van den Hemel

The Court of Appeal of B.C. has upheld the forfeiture of a $1.33-million Richmond mansion to the Crown after police found a sophisticated marijuana growing operation inside in 2007. Fan Qiang Zeng argued that the grow-op was the brainchild of his exwife, who was the occupant of the home. He argued that a Richmond provincial court judge failed to address the impact of the forfeiture of the home to his family, and that the forfeiture was unreasonable and not supported by the evidence. But Justice Elizabeth A. Bennett dismissed the appeal, with Justice John E. Hall and Justice Anne W. MacKenzie agreeing. It was in November of 2007 when Richmond RCMP raided two homes in two days in the same South Arm neighbourhood. One of the homes, at 9331 Bakerview Dr., has an assessed value of $1.33 million, and contained 760 plants, a barricaded door and a bypassed electrical system in the garage. See P age 7
