okay, someone delicately harvested my first plant last night and left me with the stalk... what can i do to catch them when they come for the next ones? i have my license and i'm within my legal limit, but the other plants won't be ready for a few more weeks. the one they took last night was just ready. i think it's my fault for telling a few friends.
since they probably will be back what is your advice people? i would love to make them suffer, tho i know karma will take care of that, but i'm not letting them take any more. can i have a shot gun, stun gun, bear traps? what is my best deterrence? do i have to move them now?? HELP ME OUT FOLKS!!~! newb here

ps it was beautiful, i'm really sad : (((((

Get a guard dog or a motion activated wildlife camera. You can also rig up trip wires with pullstring fireworks.

be careful if u set traps u can be charged, if there in pots move em like yesterday! if they are not in pots well all i can say is setup your tent next to em and camp out. other than that i'm not to sure, are they on your property? u do have certian rights if u feel threatened if someone comes onto your property.

it's totally my property and it's fully fenced, i think they jumped at the gate, but no neighbors would do it. old people mostly. i so wanna "put out their dome"... my daughter is all about staying up all night... thanks for the support, i'm feeling a tad better... live and learn man... "fail til i succeed"

razor wire or bob wire along the fence line. set up motion detecting lights. itching powder on the outside of the fence line. fishing wire along the fence line attached to wind chimes.

Nice call on the motion activated lights. Thats what I'd go with. Totally legal and sure to scare the shit out of the bud burglar.

I would put a tent out there and rig up a light that goes on and off a couple times a night (change the timer often). In my town the police put police watch towers in parking lots and leave them there for a while then move them. They don't leave a car near by and I am sure they are rarely maned by people. They keep thiefs and car jacks out of busy parking lots by just being there. Had a company I worked for that the local police loaned an old police car for the parking lot to stop break ins. You get the idea?

I would leave a set up tent out the last month of harvest. If you want to spend a night out there you may learn something but I don't think they want to see if your in there at night. I would also if your legal buy a stun gun and have those heavy zip ties the police often use for the day you catch them. If you go and kill or shot someone you will be in as much or more trouble I would guess.

oh, a thought. put a radio in there every couple nights playing low music. You want someone to think your always there. Keep the opening unnoticable to the fence area so they can't tell if your in there. If your garden is very visable and isn't hidden I would make a sign/s and put it on a stake/s in the direction of the fence area so people monitoring your grow can see when the look over/into your fence. Something to the effect of =you are being video monitored= =etc.....breaking the law will be prosecuted to the full extent=

i really start to wonder if it's the kid who helped me with all the good fertilizer through the whole process. he didn't sound to surprised when i told him, or some of his friends, but man, my yard is private, and i had my bedroom door open last night. this is really a violation of my serenity space. gonna work on better fencing and maybe some chicken wire? if they know me, how can i find out. i have to find out, i can't let this go without catching them. will they brag? can they sell it without curing it? arg... what about shot guns or bean bag guns... anyone know the legalities, my sis is an attorney and she just emailed me and said i can't use lethal force to protect property... so lame!!!:wall:

electrified fences can be bought at pet stores. surround the plants wiith it or put it just inside the regular fence line. connecting it to your regular fence line is a bad idea though as it's illegal and the first time it gets touched it will probably discharge the entire thing cause there's so much area to cover.

i hope you didn't wake to more of em being gone. i personally would be sitting in the garden overnight and changing my sleep schedule for a day or 3 just to try and catch the asshole and shoot em.

@ 5 ounces per plant even if YOU only get 2 plants out of it that's like 2 months worth of shit. it's still worth it. just gotta invest in ways to keep assholes at bay.:cuss:
