A long time ago a few friends and I were growing outside... different locations, one got ripped. An asshole cut off the top colas on 9 plants and left the bottoms. Within a couple days, we knew who did it... he was selling wet weed to people, they were bitching, we knew everybody who got high (small town).
One of our guys (a big biker with Harley tats all over him) went infuckingsane...wanted to go kick the living shit out of the guy and get everybody in big time trouble...I told him along with the other guys to let it go... we'll take care of it later.
After everything else was harvested... me and one of the cooler headed guys went to the thief's house while he was at work. We located a bottom window and a garden hose attached to a spigot. Kicked in the bottom widow, shoved the hose in through and turned the spigot on full blast and left, this was 9AM and the guy worked till 4PM...hope he had drainage down there..lol.
It's bad karma to steal...you could wind up with a flooded basement...
