What the Heck: Jack Abramoff's House

A friend and I got adventuresome the other day and decided to try and track down Jack Abramoff's house, as part of our What-The-Heck series. I had found out from my Web "research" that his home is at 812 Edelblut Drive (sometimes spelled Edelbut in various postings) in Silver Spring, Maryland, which can be located on MapQuest. Nothing nasty, we just wanted to get a quick look at it. A cheap thrill, if you will. One of his companies, through which some of his alleged financial shenanigans are alleged to have been allegedly perpetrated, listed the same address. He also apparently had purchased #800 for use in his alleged "activities," although it appears 800 may have since been sold. Anyway, to make a long story short, we drove over there and we suspect someone has removed the street sign and/or the house number, because Edelblut and 812 were nowhere to be found. Pretty clever, no? If you can't hide the house, lose the street. We found a #800 in the general location on the map but never did find any sign that said Edelblut despite driving around in circles numerous times. It was a pleasant drive anyway. Very nice neighborhood, surprise surprise. If anyone else finds it, let us know!
