How would they know it was a grow? No grow equipment was in the house at any point that the person/people, broke in. The only grow equipment was the fan and filter, and if they have never been in the growing business, which I highly doubt these people around here would have the money to purchase equipment to grow, they wouldn't even have a clue what that fan and filter was used for. They probably just thought it was used to help clear the air of all the drywall dust that was floating around. Hell, 99% sure it was a crack head and all they saw was a piece of equipment that looked expensive, was made of metal, and was heavy. They probably took it down to the local scrap yard, which is walking distance to get a few bucks for more crack. My point is that people keep saying that everyone knows what one of those fans and filters is used for and that means they will be back to raid the plot. I don't know about your area but in these parts crackheads aren't very smart, and crackheads don't have the money to have a fairly sophisticated grow op. I would also imagine that if they knew wouldn't they have came back at some point after I moved in to get the magical garden? I mean, if they know what the fan and filter was for, they would surely know the length it would take for the garden to be done wouldn't they? I'm not saying that since they haven't came back since July they won't be back. The good thing about the alarms on the doors is that they turn off after a minute. They are used just to alarm you if someone opens the door, not an alarm that's set up with the cops. It only sounds inside the house, and the neighbors wouldn't call the cops even if they heard them going off or saw someone breaking in. That's the type around here. I'm also 99% sure that the only reason the person came in in the first place was they saw an easy target...no one living there, dumpster full of junk in the driveway (which someone went through that pulling the parts out of the back of the t.v. and computer monitor to go cash in), no cars in the driveway or on the street, and no lights on. Now there are motion sensor lights posted around the house, as well as a ton of solar lights throughout the backyard. Thieves don't always keep coming back. Most only hit a place a few times and they are done with it because they don't want to chance their luck too many times.
The point of the thread was to get ideas of cheap and inexpensive ways to eliminate odors. But now that I came across enough money to get a fan and filter I won't have to go the cheap route.
