So it’s a given that I’m growing weed, outdoor, and it’s another that I have already been robbed this year. I grow legally in my state, excluding the fact that my plants aren’t in a confined area other than the fence that separates my neighbors’ property.
I know the person who stole my plants. He brags about how big they are. I know where he has them, the address, the owner and people who live there. And I’ve been told he was lurking my street last night.
Should I enclose the grow more than my property and call the cops? I’m at a loss. I don’t want to do anything rash or stupid, but I should do something. I’m more concerned about future plants being taken than the ones that were already stolen. These people that I’m dealing with are very aggressive, competitive, and indulgent - reason and persuasion have no leverage.
Thanks for your time and consideration. I ask for and appreciate any advice anyone might have.
Sorry to hear about your situation, definitely sucks.
Is your motivation to get your plants back or to get revenge ? Different possibilities for each.
If you continue to grow where you are and this isn't taken care of, you will only live in a constant state of concern that it will happen again. In other words you will be taking part inflicting anguish on yourself, don't do that. So, either stop growing, move or deal with the root of the problem, those are your choices.
The thief should be held responsible,
if you absolutely know who it was. You could use police, but I wouldn't.
You need to outsmart him, if you can't out muscle him. Because he is a bully and a thief, he has lost any right to expect you to be civil in your solutions. It would be a shame if he fell into a pattern of bad luck. Sometimes Karma works faster if you nudge it along. Be creative.
