I'm with you on that, I was 70% for the longest time but I recently got a 100% rating permanent and total. I have 2 1/2 acres but I still have too many neighbors! I bought my house in the summer, so the trees still had leaves. When the leaves fell, I could see 3-4 neighbors through my back yard. I didn't move far enough out! Anyways, I don't think that there is any real threat of being caught. I've ordered seeds from Attitude seed bank and had customs seize them several times and I even had to go to the post office and sign for a confiscated package because I needed it so Attitude would send a replacement. I think that I ended up on some sort of "Watch List" but the only thing that I noticed was someone cut into my coco coir(brick) and Alfalfa meal. Really, I think that they are looking for people shipping finished product and they are not worried about grow equipment etc. I was growing for 8yrs before I got my license. The helicopters, I think that they were just on their normal flight path and I was just paranoid. Helicopters don't bother me anymore!
