Everyone contribute to this thread since I couldn't find one. Just add ideas or past experience's to help everyone have a stealthier time growing. 
Rules to live by...
1. Tell NO ONE
2. Make sure that you follow rule number one
3. Make sure your stealth box/growing facility is light proof. Caulk, sealant, and paint work wonders. For the cracks in the door you can try weather stripping or you can go to the fabric store and get a material called 'blackout'.
4. Smell proof. Look it up on here, plenty of posts about it.
5. Make sure it looks like something you already should have. Don't disguise it like a huge speaker if you arn't into sound equipment. don't disguise it as a guitar case if you don't play, ect. Preferably disguise it as something electronical, that way you don't have to worry about the power cord coming out the back.
6. For exhaust, us the S&P TD Mixvent fans. Do a search on it, you'll find them. Crazy quiet, moves alot of air too. Some what small as well. Computer fans suck. Use insulated duct work too. Works wonders.
7. For noise reduction, use sound dampening material. Dynamat works great, Fat Mat works well too. Coat everyting in it. All the walls of your cab. You can paint it, so it's good to go. Cuts down on alot of noise and vibrations.
8. If security is an issue, go to Lowes or Home Depo and look for 'Tot Locks'. They are like magnet locks that go on the inside of cabinets. So the cabinet locks, but you can't see the lock, and you have no idea it's there. Just place the magnet key over where the lock would be and it opens.
9. Lastly, take up growing as a hobby, if you don't already. Grow some peppers and tomatoes, or some regular herbs or something. If you grow your pot hydroponically, grow some hydro tomatoes. This way you don't need to explain some left over nutes lying around to your friends. Looks kinda suspicious if you have a bottle of GH Grow but you don't have any plants around or any hydro system.
10. One thing to keep in mind when designing a stealth grow box/room for maximum security is to design it so its made to be raided? So even if someone becomes suspicious they could investigate a little bit and still not find anything.
11. If you made a little box to go in your closet and your going to run say an extension chord into it for the lights power, why not put something else electric near it?
For example I may have had a box in my closet and I would put a guitar amp next to it and run the extension cord to the amp and then have a adapter so I could run the light aswell.
12. Folded pillow cases help control the vibrations of a fan.
13. If you buy large bags of soil or fertilizer or grow lights, make sure you buy with cash (duh) or prepaid reloadable credit cards. Never credit cards in your name, never checks. If asked for your name (most places wont ask you), give a fake one and tell them you left your ID at home.
14. When in doubt consult rule number one
