Hey Lacey,
Sorry to hear about the unfortunate event.
I do think you can make a substantial improvement on "Security".
We get so "comfortable" that we can all forget that we need to be extemely "CAUTIOUS" in order to do what we love to do and remain off the radar.
I hope you make all the improvements neccesary to have your next grow OP completely "STEALTH".......
The main improvements obviously being to silence fans and filter the air around your tents as there would be some odour which does escape from your enclosed growing environment.
For small fans i find that the baffled ducting works well ( a little pricey though).
For larger fans you may need the acoustic ducting and a silencer.....
I wish you and you family all the best......
P.S : Lucky i have some SLH & White Rhino cuttings , Now lets hope they root.
None of them actualy have any roots yet...... ( Lets hope they make it)
P.S ii :
Dont they need a Warrant to enter your dwelling?
Did you have to sign anything?
Did they have a video camera?
Can you apply to get your gear back so you can grow some cucumbers and tomatos?
So you have nothing to smoke again?
They took everything?
If there is anyhing i can do to help, just PM me.
All the best again Lacey.......
Speak soon
