break in

[therealpothead]

ok so i decided to tell my story, last week i returned home from work nothing looked out of place untill i went inside. first thing i noticed was my tv was in the middle of my living room floor. then it hit me i ve been robed so the first thing i do is head to the basement and sure as shit the door was kicked in to the basement. as i head down the stairs i can see the yellow glow of the hps light but the doors are wide open. so needless to say all of my plants are gone 6 querkels and all of my 7 cuts of spacequeen are gone. i could tell that the person who got me was content with all my electronics untill they found the locked basement door. im sure they did not expect to find what they found. the only thing i am thankfull for is they did not steal my lights or anything pertaning to my grow room fans nutes etc..nor did they bother to steal all the shit they were going to, like my tv ,blueray ,etc they just left all that were they unhooked it on the floor. the plants were not even close to being done 3 were at week 5 and the other 3 were still in transition week 1. so me and the wife called adt and got the works package while we look for somewhere else to move. 3 weeks ago the neighboor 2 houses up was robbed. so it looks like its time to go.. and it looks like ill be ordering some more of subs beans. i really hate this shit.. thanks for listening everyone and i really would not wish this shit on my worst enemy, being without genetics blows and makes you feel really depressed, when you think of all the time money and love you put into your plants... depessing

you gotta be careful with adt though, my friends alarm went off and the fuzz showed up. somehow the door got opened (whether or not it was a burglar is unknown) so the police walked in to the house to see if anyone was there or anyone was breaking in or whatever. wellllllll they didnt find anything missing but they did find 8 mature white widow plants, each of them having about 2 ounces on them and they were looking soooooo beautiful. Anyways he had an amazing lawyer and got off with 30 days and probo for everrrrr but still at least he isnt locked up. BE CAREFUL WITH ALARM SYSTEMS FUZZ WILL BUST YOU IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL!!!

 

[Straight up G]

Feel very sorry for you..

 

[OGKush00]

Yeah dude that blows, either get a Pitbull or a .45.... someone walks in my house I got both... They aren't getting out without a couple scratches at least

Least you got your lights and are smart enough to move after somthing like this has occurred. Could have been a lot worst scenarios played out than what had happend... consider yourself lucky. Goodluck to you man hope everything smoothes out and peace can be restored to your grow area

 

[therealpothead]

apriciate it all

 

[guitarzan420]

yeah i'd be careful w/ alarm co's. make sure that you have a do not dispatch for a single zone alarm. if it's a multi-zone hit they'll call 5-O. Peace and good luck!

...BE CAREFUL WITH ALARM SYSTEMS FUZZ WILL BUST YOU IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL!!!

I agree. I have a home alarm system and I do not arm it at all when I have a grow going, well the fire alarm part of it is always on.
When the alarm company gets a signal and they notify LEO, LEO can and will enter if there is a door or window open or broken. They are looking for the burglars, but anything they see is fair game. By having an alarm go off, and the monitoring company sending LEO, you in fact have invited them in. If the property is secure but the alarm went off, they often will wait until someone arrives and will want to look around for your safety in case someone would be inside.

yah im trying to look at the bright side of the blunt. now i have a reason to try vortex and the third dimenison by sub. i have been growing space queen for over a year now and the querkel i got at the cannabis cup a couple years ago when subcool was there. but trust that the space queen will find her way back to my grow show, she is such a great medicine and me and the wifes fav smoke, thanks to everyone for posting i really apiciate all the positive feedback, it helps.......... luckly i noticed that tga seeds are being sold at attitude.

 

[therealpothead]

as far as the alarm company goes when we set it up we put call contact first, which is me as i only work minutes from home.. and there aint gonna be any more basement mishaps as we bought a new door and installed 2 kicker plates on a full steel door and a new deadbolt replaced all the wood pine trim and door jam with a resin composite wood that can handle 3000 pounds per square inch. the land lords gonna shit when we move..

 

[bannaboat]

It's got to be someone you know..think about it.....

 

[Dirty Harry]

It's got to be someone you know..think about it.....

Or they know you now after what they found. Just like an outside patch being found, expect them to come back.

 

[OGKush00]

Yeah I doubt they knew what you had going on, prolly were on the way out with your shit when one of them came back and said hey guys drop that shit I need a hand. but like dude said they will be back.... i give it 6 months if they're not in prison or dead

 

[wowzerz]

That's a fucking bummer bro. Im sorry to hear about your luck. That is one of my top two biggest fears with my op, can you guess the other XD. But yeah, I would suggest a dog as well (if your living arrangements allow for it that is)I used to be a criminal, and let me tell you, If there were two homes: one with seccurity, and one with a loud dog, I would break into neither, but If I had to pick one, It would not be the one with a dog. Dogs take bites out of asses. It doens't have to be an aggressive dog either. My dog barks like an aggressive pit, but hes just a big baby (but they dont know that)

 

[Straight up G]

Pit's are rank mate.

 

[fureelz]

something similar happened to me in march...I have a clue who pulled everything from me, lights, everything..and actually called the police (registered caregiver) filed a police report and nothing became of it. I basically wanted it 'on file' so if anything else was to happen they could turn somewhere immediately. Unfortuately you can't do that though. I know how you feel when someone violates your personal space. I think a dog would probably be your best bet while away from the house and a 12 gauge while your in it. ADT is a waste of money I believe...check into personal alarm systems, all you really need is that loud annoying beep to make someone run. There are loud versions out there along with a system that hooks up to a main speaker mounted above the exterior garage door / front door. Probably looking at a 1 time payment of 650 for a good system, but no activation of anything, monitoring fees, 911 fees...The real only downfall with them is that you wouldn't know when it went off while you're out...

 

[therealpothead]

dont not one single soul except for you guys know about my grow show i dont sell and i dont break the fresh headies out around anyone, nah it aint no one i know if it was they would have took everything, these guys came looking for stuff and when they found stash they left all the expensive shit where it lay. so nah it anyone i know besides ive been growing my own meds since 98 and never had a problem, besides GREEN AVENGERS go through these types of things from time to time. i know this, nothing will stop a REAL GREEN AVENGER like all the rest of the green avengers out here ima keep pounding that organic soil...

 

[Jerry Garcia]

Sucks man. But at least they were content with your plants and not your other gear. I know beans cost something, but to still have your EXPENSIVE stuff, like the TV, blue ray, etc is a victory for you. And you've still got your setup, so you can just start over. Sucks, but at least you CAN start over.

Good luck...

 

[therealpothead]

thnx jerry your right

 

[outsidegrower]

Got my house broke into latey myself. 2 lbs of jamacan pearl and 1 1/2lbs of mandala #1 where trimmed and drying in the basement i dont know how they didnt smell it but all they took is a $700 TV out the door but thats all they took. The the keys to the sports car in my driveway where right next to the TV and they didnt even touch them. that really sucks they took your bud! get your place locked up good! I have no dought they'll be back in a few months for more.

 

[therealpothead]

i will be long gone in weeks. shit once bitten twice get the fuck out of dodge so to speak. been looking for something out in the country, miles from this rotten ass city..
