Recommended solutions to a neighborhood thief

[Ponky]

Put a 2 gal can of lawnmower gas somewhere easy to see. Mix in 6qt gasoline -1qt water and 1qt vegetable oil. See if he steals it.

Put some Armor Si into the Jerry can. That stuff will destroy his Chevy Aveo.

This is the reason i have never planted in the ground, i also put my plants in my shed under lock and key every night. I live near quite a few teenagers and id rather get to harvest than deal with this petty stuff. I hate thieves, i hope you figure something out.

a lot of these recommendations are vigilante shit. highly illegal, but you've stepped in a pile of shit that may or may not escalate to serious risk to life and health of you and your family.

I'm with @1diesel1 on this. I suspect OP is in a similar area. Despite the laws about guns and "drugs," bearing arms is a self-defense measure. Shoot accurate, not to harm but to kill. He's come bearing arms, don't take a knife to a gunfight. Put him down, call the police and shut your fucking mouth. You leave him breathing, you're liable for every single thing his lawyer will conceive you've done wrong to him.

that being said, you're still a target. no plants? he's gonna try to come inside. when he does, he might not be alone -- home invasions happen and they're way worse than getting robbed. your family is at risk now too. defend yourself accordingly.

if you don't have one on retainer yet, get a lawyer on retainer. you need that phone # ready when shit hits the fan.

Bring in cinderblocks and chain the plants to them

Call your local LEO and ask them how you can protect your plants. If you’re in a legal state growing legally, you should be able to ask for help and guidance from your local police. Imagine being able to say that 10 years ago.

Otherwise, get some rhodamine dye and apply where the fucker’s hands will go. He’ll be stained red for months and easy to point out to police. Good luck.

truth. last time i had to call the cops, what took a response was calling them back three hours after the initial call telling them i was going outside with my firearm to deal with the situation myself. they responded real quick then. i also learned, don't call the cops and tell em you're gonna do their jobs. they get a little grumpy about that. ain't fuckin around when it comes to my family though. not a killer, but not afraid of becoming one to protect my kids.

A ripper is coming to harvest. They ain’t interested in grabbing the pot the plant is in.

That’s the truth. Kill to protect the fam, but kill to protect 4 weed plants? Nah. Time to relocate the grow area.

also, if the avatar and the movie character is any indication, i'm a bit of an asshole lol reeling it in these days, but as Jewels tries, a bad motherfucker has a way of interacting with others that's sometimes abrasive.

We know some who got robbed and the dude broke his leg as hell on his way out he went to jail- then proceeded the home owner! What the fuck!

Yeah, sad to say but unless you just end them they will sue, and will win, if maimed in anyway. Especially if you happen to be in a blue state.

Lol, good luck getting a hold of cops!

Yep. One of my neighbors a few years back was a medical user. His apartment was broken into weekly. Sliding glass door broken multiple times. Cops took his statement and just laughed at him.

nothing to add, but i dig your signature.

Thanks. First koan I ever 'solved'. Really helped me change my mindset.

I don’t like to say this but the op is old and couldn’t protect himself. If someone stole my shit multiple times I would have shot him. He’s stealing from you and has a gun on him. So obviously he’d shoot your dog to get your weed. Either grow some balls and shoot the guy while he’s stealing your stuff or stop being cheap and grow inside. I can’t stand thieves, they like taking your hard earned money just cause they are to lazy to do it themselves.

 

[Oldsog]

i'd string up fishing hooks along the main stems. make sure they are barbed.

 

[Goodshit97]

Just let them mold, thatll teach the prick.
