Bad idea.Remeber this "A thief always returs to the scene of the crime" plant more same spot and watch. You will catch the weasle. Could it be an inside job? Someone you know.
That sounds like a good idea...i was he only one who knew about my babies...i never tell ANYONE! im gonna check the area behind and in front of me..there are teens that live in each surrounding house n i know they're parents so they wouldnt be inside..they have to be somewhere in the forest or grassy area that surround them backing up to me...Ill keep all ya updated when i HUNT EM' DOWN!
Barney Fife might have come across the plants, but he would simply cut them down and take the stalks. No investigation. No paperwork.i think you should just let it go.... most likely, your plants are in one of two places.... 1- a pile of ashes where the police burnt them...or 2- hanging up in a shed somewhere in the neighborhood cause the kid that stole them doesnt know that the leaves arent what you smoke... in my opinion, if it were someone that knows enough about growing to transplant them and tend to them theirselves; they would be intelligent enough to let you take care of them until they are near finished and then come take them. find a new spot and try again.

Dumbass stoner thieves would have done the same. Cut the stalks and leave the containers.
I believe this was done by a wannabe grower thief. You saved him the trouble of getting started.
