THEIVES. Whole crop stolen

Member
How I see it, is try ripping
off a plant behind a locked
door ya slimey cocksuckers!
Fuck the goons & rippers....
we're a unique aesthetic and
IMO growers should exclusively
keep to themselves, or hang
out with other growers if you
need human contact that bad.
I still have a few bushes outside
as somewhat of fun pets, but
I'm not going to pour my heart
& soul into a plant that could
get ripped off. Meaning basically
I only do lavish operations indoor
and don't invest much outdoors,
if anything at all really since then.

Sad part is most thieves know nothing about the growing process so they steal them before the plants are ready....what a waste....wishing you some good karma for your "charitable donation" ...and some bad karma for the deuchebags....hopefully it molds on them because they don't know how to dry it properly and they are stupid enough to smoke it !!!

lol that's exactly my thought on rippers. Here it happens a lot, thieves try to break into the growroom. Really when I think about it it's pretty stupid if you ask me because if you steal someones crop you never know in which stage they are, hell you dont even know if they're flushed or not, do the thieves even know how to dry them? Do they EVEN have set a proper dry-room? lol what a bunch of idiots.

This is the reason why police here associates commercial marijuana growing with organized crime, it has happened before that rippers got killed. Not so long ago one guy got shot to death by 4 gunmen. He tried to break in to a grow site which had 2000 plants. Someone called the police and when they came they got him, they also went to check the building and they discovered it. So you must understand this was a big operation with a lot of cash involved. No shit you're going to get killed.

Damn, I'm sorry to hear that. That's fucked. This is a constant fear of mine. I second what choom and stoned trout said.

Even in medical or legal states, we cant forget about rippers and feds. There are many good guides for activists about security culture.

Never get raided is the best one I've seen that applies specifically to weed.

although it is more about raids than robberies, the same principles apply.

I'm sorry for your loss!

Not a ripper though still a thief,
today I find out that some tweak
tried to rob my new house! The
contractor came in this morning
to start working and spooked him,
the tweaker bolted off with his ID
& wallet flying out. Karma karma..

Well didn't think I would have to post again, but thought of a couple things.

I cant remember the name of the business, but somewhere I heard of a someone offering crop insurance. Don't know any more details than the concept, but may be worth looking into if you plan on doing more outdoors.

As far as my previous comments are concerned, they certainly weren't meant to be taken literally (jellyfish), for too many obvious reasons, some of which you already mentioned. I would never suggest actually ruining a perfectly good plant with a poison! However, I do wish the thieves a good bout food poisoning, from some late night nasty food cart they stopped at do to the munchies. :)

I should have continued on with my earlier post and go on to say.. to not repeat the mistakes of the dumb watermelon farmers in the past, just post up a sign that implies some have been sprayed. Maybe then they wouldn't want to take the chance, and go somewhere else.

Once again man, so sorry for your loss!
 
here farmers rotate corn, soybeans, and wheat. and its all insured so weather or not there is a good harvest the farmer gets paid

That sucks man, I feel for ya.. Rippers are the worst. When I was growing up I had a bad habit of trusting everyone. Im a trustworthy person so I just figured my circle was too. I learned the hardway. It took me years of growing, and Im talking 3-4 years before i actually was able to harvest a crop. If it wasnt ripped off by "friends" it was either found by strangers or eradication efforts. I learned to hide my gardens really well, and never put all of your eggs in one basket. Keep atleast 2 gardens and keep them spread out. Every season is a lesson, and with experience you will become a better grower. Sadly its part of the game, there are ppl that go out every season just in search of plants. These are the lowest scum bags usually.

I cant count how many times Ive over heard or actually someone came to me saying they were going out "stomping" or in search of someone cannabis plants. I always give them a piece of my mind, and let them know those are someones plants, and they put a lot of work into them. I let them know they should try growing their own, and see how much work it is, and let someone come along and steal theirs to put things into perspective. I cant stand a thief, and Ive had so many plants stolen from me I get absolutely livid when I hear of someone not only stealing someones plants but going out in search.
I apolgize for that rant, but Just a forewarning to all of you rippers out there, Karma is a bitch, and it ALWAYS comes full circle.

Thanks everyone

Thanks everyone

Thanks guys
The spray is a good idea. Karma will happen. Have about 2 oz
From my breeding female. The thieves live behind me and they don't know how to grow. I hope the mold swells their lungs shut. I would love to go indoors. I would be safer. I don't understand much about hydro. I guess I'll start saving for lights and things . I didn't show anyone . Can't afford to. Cause where I live. Keep it growing.

Are you fucking kidding? The thieves live behind you! Man, you are the easiest target I have ever heard about. You know who robbed you and you don't care? Wrap a sign around your neck that says, "come rob me, I don't care." If you act like a bitch, you get treated like a bitch, it's a doggy dog world out there. Don't play the game if you can't compete.

Sorry about your loss.

BTW - This is coming from a guy who grew monsters his back yard living in a town of 100,000+ people. I fought off many people, and even had a crop ripped, where I found where the guys lived. Lets just say they moved, quickly.

They were confronted yesterday. I told them I know u did it
And if my shit ain't back u pill heads are finished , I hope u have
Life insurance. They started copping dueces. I would never, I swear on
My kids blah blah blah. Now they are scared. I know it's all gone .ill
Get them. Ill cost them so much money they will live in a box. Cars love gas with
sugar in it . If I physically harm them the cops will be here arresting me and I can't say they stole my weed plants. Before my daughter I would have burnt them out.

I'll second Jelly's LOL!

and correct you, as the proper saying is:

"it's a dog eat dog world"

and to the OP:

don't take advice from the on-line "gangstas"; you planted where your neighbors could see and thus ripped you. part your fault.

the cops will also show up if you damage their property, your pill-head neighbors will snitch you out in a second.

good luck and much peace

Why do you think all the product is gone? It takes me weeks to dry, and months to trim. If these guys stole it you would find leaves, stank, dirt in their car or house. If you can't find any of this evidence, or any other evidence, then your fucked.

BTW - If I were you, I would not of said shit to them until I knew for sure. Once you know, talk is cheap. Go after them directly like a gangster, or bash their cars up as collateral. Pop their tires every time they get them replaced, ext ext.

Or I guess you could do the Christian thing and forgive them. I Truly am sorry for your loss. I know how that feels and besides death of a family member/dog not much stings worse. I know we have all stole in our lives, pack of gum, candy bar, but thieves really are some of the lowest of the lows. Thieves and looters, can't stand them.

Sad part is most thieves know nothing about the growing process so they steal them before the plants are ready....what a waste....wishing you some good karma for your "charitable donation" ...and some bad karma for the deuchebags....hopefully it molds on them because they don't know how to dry it properly and they are stupid enough to smoke it !!!

In my high school years, I did all of the above, sadly enough. From stealing early plants to drying them and getting mold, finally to smoking said bud. I only did it once, and I was scolded by those wiser than I. I thought I was so cool until somebody pointed out how I stole someone hard work, and what if that had been mine?

Hopefully I've already paid that debt, and karma isn't waiting to fuck me over 10 years later.

Lot's of regrets during those transformative years, lol.

Sorry about your crop bud, I have never set a plant outdoor for this reason alone. Draws attention where it needn't be and is too easy for low lives or kids to pluck right outta the ground.
