well, the thieves were back.
i rested my head at about 6am this morning after the sun came up.
my wife gets up around 8am to run some errands. she goes out to the GH to turn off the motion sensor. everything is fine out there.
well, i took for granted that everything would be OK with the daylight hours to protect us. i was wrong.
i walked out to check the GH around 2pm and whadya know? another hole in the back of the GH, the remaining 5 veg plants gone.
to my credit, the padlock helped. they had to hop our neighbor's fence. it rained last night and their foot prints are easily visible in the dirt.
about to head out on a walk now to see if i can't find where they hid the plants. i don't imagine it's very smart to be walking around in broad daylight with 5 veg plants, so my guess is that they hid them once again and will be back for them after dark.
i gotta say, hopping someone's fence around or after 8am and breaking into their GH in full daylight, stealing 5 plants, hopping the fence again, and walking away with them is pretty ballsy, in a cowardly way.
guess i should stop dragging ass on my closed circuit perimeter alarm.
good news is that all my clones have rooted, so i didn't lose any genetics or anything. and the 6 ones in the ground are unharmed. but i have a feeling they will STILL be back.

no sign of the plants around town.
fuck a closed circuit alarm system, i've decided to go with an electric fence. with proper warning signs, of course.
done fucking around. i have my 6 ladies left and i'll go crazy with insomnia before i let them get pinched.

turns out it's not as expensive as imagined to build an electric fence, but we're not stopping there.
defense #1 will be fishing line strung along the perimeter of the entire property. we're talking several lines extending out from the fence about 4 feet or so in every direction. will be good for holding up sunflowers as an added bonus.
defense #2 will be chicken wire wrapping the entire perimeter of the GH up to 4 feet. they can cut through plastic quickly, but clipping through 4 feet of chicken wire after that is time consuming. and requires more tools than they probably bring. that will only run me $60~ in supplies.
defense #3, if they make past the fishing line fence traps and chicken wire GH guard will be the electric fence. fence energizers go for $45, the rest of the supplies will put me up to about $100 or so.
Damn buck I hope you catch these little fuckers.Sounds like its a kid cause who steals vegging plants ?If I were to catch somebody in my backyard ill make sure that they remember not to come back if you know what I mean. Can't stand rippers I hope you catch him and rough him up a little.

i don't want to catch anyone or hurt anyone, i just want them to stay the fuck away.
will be living out in the GH until the electric fence is up.
Sometimes it takes a good ass whooping for kids to learn

I cant believe this. i would be going effing insane if someone stole a plant that was vegging and in the DAY! i wouldnt be able to sleep untill i caught them.
