Got my plants ripped.

[goodpawn]

Hey all I was away doing some gold prospecting and got a sms yesterday to let me know that my plants were stolen on friday night.

I am sharing a house with my cousin and she was out with friends until 2-30 friday morning when as she was turning into our street(culdesac) she saw an unfamiliar car parked across the road.

She said as she first turned into the street that there was someone holding a plant by the roots and quickly threw it into the boot.

She did not think much more of it(she doesnt smoke and doesnt care about the plants) until she woke up and went outside in the morning. There was a trail or roots and dirt leading from the garden bed across to where the car was parked.

 

Now i have only been living here for 7 months and no a grand total of 2 people(outside of family)in the local area. One of theses people is someone I met in the local club and subsequently was helping me to score weed.

He eventually introduced me to his dealer and I have not seen him since before xmas. However he has been sending me sms asking if I have any buds to sell?

I ignored these as I dont and if I did then I wouldnt deal if I was growing at the same location.

Now the thing is, I have never mentioned that I was growing here but think I said to him that I normally grow my own as i dont like paying for it.

The person in question is still fairly young 20-21 and a long time local. he has previosly mentioned to me about doing break and enters etc.. so know he his capable of ripping me off.

 

Now my dilemna is do I approach/confront him about this and potentially put myself up for further problems or do I just let it slide.

I know if I was here alone and not living with a female then I would deal with the situation accordingly.

I have been to see my dealer and he let me know and he was very dissappointed and told me he was going to blacklist this person and put the word out.

I told my dealer that if I come across this person then I was going to break his arms so the threat is implied and if I do happen

 

to see him in the street pub etc.. then I feel I am going to have to react.

The stupid thing is the plants only started showing sex approx 10 days ago. He did leave me 2 plants( smallest 2) which once again stupidly are the only 2 with smallish buds/tips.

Anyways rant over and my mull anzac cookies kicking in so will leave it at that.

So what would you do in my shoes?

Cop it on the chin! Move on! Start again when you can.

 

You are new in the area. Is it worth the agro you may bring on yourself?

 

Liars and thieves you will never beat them.

A bit of advice goodpawn......telling people in the area you had plants ripped is like taking out an add in the local paper saying ' hey everyone, I grow pot by the way ' Keep it stealth and tell no one you grow

 

Peace MM

problem is, if he takes no action, the same prick will wait a few months and rip his new plants...

[Ozzy420]

That is true Peb but if he dose do something then he has to think that the clown knows where he lives and can come back any time to rip him off by braking into his house or send some fukwits around to course more probs than it is worth.

 

If able up stakes and move and start again...

You broke the first rule of grow club.

 

1. You don't talk about grow club.

 

Oh, and find some new friends, and give dickhead a wide berth.

[shirty]

Oh dear , not again eh ..

 

rip offs.. bad , bad shit , hurt,anger ..all round bad karma

 

blame no-one , not even yourself.

 

rips happen , even with the tightest lips& security etc.

 

yep, could well have been this person u suspect , or ANY other of the thousands of ppl who may drift thru your area, or life.

 

While growing Ive been ripped 3 times before , & copper fucked once .

 

Its an occupational hazard mate., it comes with the job.

 

But an old grower friend years ago put it into perspective for me in one line one night( while discussing his two whole rooms of flowers, & another room with over 50 cuts going strong, & his thoughts on a possible rip )

 

He said " Shirty , its only fkn dope, you can grow it all again ! "

 

Move, sever ties, do whatever gives you peace of mind, but dont let it put u off mate.

 

Dont churn ya guts up worrying about payback & shit .. the gaol term ISNT worth it for some Canna plants imo

 

What goes around comes around etc,, it truly does. Most of the CUNTS Ive had to deal with in my younger days, are now either dead, or broken & scarred with shitty lives etc from the shit theyve put out .,. just desserts have been served.

 

good luck , but remember , if you go inside for smashin some dude or whatever, its only gonna take a fkn heap longer till you can get a grow going !! And you aint gonna get that dope back !

 

take care

mate. Take the advice and move on. I know how it feels to be ripped off but it really is part of the game we play. Ignore the prick if you see him. Don't whinge to others about him 'cause it brings attention to yourself. Oh & next time you grow tie the fuckers down so they can't just grab 'em & run...make it hard for 'em. Learn & grow from this. Peace man
