Message to All Pot Thieves

I know you are out there so pay attention.

Harvest time is here.

You may be considering taking a trip out to do a little plant poaching.

Please reconsider.

Regardless of where you find it, that plant was placed there by a grower. More than likely, the plant or plants did not just happen. A grower planned, sweated, took risks, and lovingly nurtured that plant. You have no right to it.

If you invade the property of someone to steal their plants your trespassing escalates into burglary.

There are several reasons why thievery is a bad idea:

1) We are not criminals. Our civil disobedience is not an invitation to victimize us. Do not taint our community with your actions.

2) Your actions cause misery to someone who did you no harm. Read the threads concerning members who have suffered loss at the hands of thieves.

3) Grow it yourself. Growing is not difficult; but it does require time, patience, labor, and love.

4) It is dangerous. I have suffered at the hands of thieves only once and I vowed it would never happen again. Any thief who ventures into my backyard will find himself cornered by a large dog in a maze of sticker bushes, yucca, and poison ivy; all placed deliberately. He has a doggie door so cross that fence at your own peril. It is amazing how fast that dog can make it outside when he hears the trip signals. And god help you if I catch you in my house in search of my grow room.

5) Thievery is bad for you. What you are considering is not a victimless crime. Yeah you may benefit initially, but eventually it will catch up with you. It always does. Life is funny that way.

If you are considering taking a nature walk in search on an unguarded grow, please do not do it.

If ya don't want me to take your crop stop planting on my property!!!

Agreed. However, my original post was very clear as to whom I was addressing.

A trespassing grower who plants on property belonging to someone else is gifting the grow to the property owner. A property owner who harvests plants on his own property, regardless of who planted them without his consent, is not a thief. As such, I am not addressing property owners.

I am speaking to those who would consider stealing from a guerrilla grow on public accessible land, or invading private property to steal from a private grow.

Anyone fucks with my crop Im taking their hand off lol

amen to that! shouldnt say this! Thieve make my teeth grind! i Hate Thieves!

I heard a story...which it maybe that, "a story"...of a guy who left a note that he found the growers plants. The note said something like=that he had a nice crop going and that he would leave it alone...if he left some bud after the harvest...the grower did so and never had an issue. Seems fair to me.

True, it is part of the game. But it does not have to be. Which is the point of this thread: To give thieves, or potential thieves, some very good reasons not to commit bad acts.

This thread will not inspire anybody to become a thief. No one reads this thread then suddenly and truthfully exclaims what you stated. That is a lame excuse.

Thievery is a low and selfish act depriving someone else of their hard earned harvest. There is no good reason for it.

Private property is the same whether we are talking about cannabis, a wallet, or an automobile.

In the context of a guerrilla grow you are absolutely correct.

In the context of trespassing onto private property, crossing a fence for example, to steal a grow; I do not advocate deadly force. But anybody crossing my fence to steal from me will have their hands full escaping without a scratch.

In the context of a home invasion the Castle Doctrine is in full effect. Assume that anyone who breaks into your home intends you harm.

One reason why I started this thread is to prevent someone considering thievery from getting hurt.

I can't believe what fucking thieves some stoners are. They would steal a nickle from a blind man and not feel the slightest twinge of conscience.

Seems like extortion to me.

Pretty much is, but in reality, I'd be more then happy to leave maybe an eighth maybe a bit less for someone not messing with my crop or him telling others. I'm assuming he wouldn't tell others for risk of them taking it and him being left with no small sample at the end of the year. marijuana should be a friendly thing, all in all it seems friendly.
