7 break ins this month and still safe but scared

[Behind_The_Mask]

you need a shotgun and a set of driveway monitors

they beep when someone enters your property

wait for beep then respond with terminal force

i fucking HATE thieves!

for what its worth MOST of the time cops dont even get called for 1 gunshot so aim carefully.

fuck calling the cops never invite the man into your life

 

[stasis]

Dude, You are Lucky to be alive.. Also lucky to have resources... Move and Start over...! GooD Luck...!!! Hang in there, pretty soon, you will be up and running again.

 

[Behind_The_Mask]

wanted to add i had a home invasion about 10 yrs ago
and guess who it was........friends of my jealous buddy

jealousy does weird shit to people sometimes

i dont know if you have family...but if they knew this much they know where your main residence is located at.

dont put it past people to go after your legit/at home money either.

lots of home invasions end with family tied up / wives raped etc.
google it man not trying to scare you but be aware of what low class shit-heads are capable of

 

[Lucky 7]

yeah, lots of jealous f*ckers out there; that said, lots of no good dinks with nothing to do but look for trouble . . .

I live in the middle of no where so bats and stuff stashed all over, just in case they come a knockin', cause the cops aren't coming to help.

 

[NPK]

YES to the tip regarding driveway monitors--audio motion sensors. They cause an indoor unit to beep when tripped, telling you the moment someone is on the periphery of your property. You want to know they're there BEFORE they actually get in your house! I have one attached to a knothole on my fence, and twice this summer alone it has notified me and my dog that someone was nosing around where they didn't belong. A must-have item for those concerned about home security. I got mine cheap on the Harbor Freight website.

The sound of my mossburg pump being racked is probably enough to get any one foolish enough to enter my place the fuck out , in a hurry , had probs with getting ripped off as a youngin 13-16
but nothing since I have gotten a lil older/ wiser ..... TS
follow rules to the game ,.....

You might get that first place cleaned up and repaired. If you have insurance, turn it in to the cops as a break in and let the insurance company fix it. You can hire people to go in a clean and repair it for you. That way you don't screw up your credit. A security company might make rounds by it randomly for a few $$ and scare the thugs away or catch them and get them busted. Once it is cleaned out, their hold over you is gone. Might get a friend with a concealed gun permit to accompany you if you need to go over there. Might get the chance to legally get even or bust a few caps on their asses. They won't be back unless they are wanting to commit suicide by CHL. If the place is clean, you can call the cops and get them to keep an eye on it. I hate to see you screw up your credit and lose your investment. Hell, get it fixed and rent it to a cop for enough to make the payments and insurance plus 10% for maintenance issues. Or get a property management company to rent it for you. You don't have to go there if they are doing it. Put a sold sign in the front yard and maybe those ****s will leave it alone. There are a hundred scenarios to choose from...or just walk off and say fuck it...been there and done that many years ago...

Been a long week. I spend my nights up looking out windows. Sometimes I hear a noise and my heart feels like its going to pop out of my chest and my legs start shaking uncontrollably. The more I try and make sense of this situation, it makes no sense. The day before this last break in, I noticed 2 teenagers on bikes riding very slow while looking in my driveway. I was walking back from the store and noticed them from a block away. The next morning I noticed that the lock on my garage was broken apart. 10 pounds of sugar trim was still in there and a lot of other things. Nothing was taken. All sugar trim was taken to a safer place that day. I screwed shut the garage. I thought that was the end of that. I was wrong. It seemed like these were teenage criminals so I didn't think they would break in with me there. Again I was wrong. It is a fact that my friend who lives in the other apartment had nothing to do with this. Fact. My neiborhood is not safe and hasn't been since the poor ecconemy. Home invasions are in the news every few days. The night of the last break in, I smoked an oil joint to my face. Windows were open. Within 30 minutes of closing my eyes, I heard the first bang. We don't know how they got in the first door. They may have climbed up the porch. I noticed the screen in the window was raised slightly but my window was locked. They got into my friends apartment first. That door was unlocked but another door to the outside was locked. It was only unlocked to people who are in the house. All that they took was the house keys from his table. His keys worked for my lock to but they didn't use them. They kicked the door down instead. It was 2 kicks. The first kick woke me up. The second kick I was looking right at them. It was obvious they were inexperienced. Although they had masks which were blue bandannas, I could tell that I didn't know them. They didn't say one word. I feel like they aren't coming back but only time will tell. I'm thinking more of growing weed. Just not here. Ill never go back to the other house. I don't care about my credit. Even if I went leagal it wont be in my name. I've been underground for 2 decades and I'm not a big fan of the American system. Ill keep you guys updated but don't take life for granted and stay safe. Trust no one.

sorry for being so blunt but if my 16 yr old made the same mistakes you did i would go mad at him for being immature

 

[smokeandmirrors]

I'm sorry but I don't believe much of any of this.

lol

i dont think anyone does

overactive imagination alert.........and the stories are the same every fortnight

door kicked down....... drama....... dont know who they are........ blah blah blah......... rinse and repeat

I'm not sure why this is hard to believe for some of you. I'm still currently living in this nightmare. The only other part of the story that I can explain that may of led up to this I can talk about. The reason why I Cant give most of the story is for potential leagal reasons that may come up. I'm currently stuck in a position that requires work and time to get out of. It may take as long as next spring to get out of this problem but if things go as planned it could take as long as 60 days to relieve my problem. So until then I can only give certain details. For some of you that may seem strange but people who have more assets in life will understand. I worked hard in this business for many years and I'm not trying to lose everything else that I have in life over it.

The piece of information that I may have not discussed was something that happened before the 1st break in. 2 months before the break in, a lot of bad people moved in to the house next to me and behind me. The neighborhood that I live in is the bad section of a pretty big city. There are shooting and stabbings all week long. When the ecconomy went sour, violence went up here at an alarming rate. Lets just say that we stand out here real bad. Our neiborhood don't look like us and have more of an animal atitude. Its not a friendly place. We didn't come here to make friends so it was all good. Its known in my neiborhood that no one calls the cops cause the whole neinorhood are criminals for the most part. Picture this. Look outside your window and see little 5 year old kids roaming the streets with no supervision. Most of the block there are a minimum of 5 kids on the front porch screaming, fighting and causing havac. Most on the block live off of the state and chill all day with their friends. People and kids litter the ground with trash and when you say something they laugh at you cause they don't get it. The parents out here aren't raising their kids. The kids are like their pets. It was bad when I came here but not close to what it is now. This city has helped me to lose a little compassion for the human race. A lot of people are so sheltered to how some people live.

To get back to the story, about 5 days before the 1st break in someone very close to me was moving their things out of the house. This required a moving truck. When the newer neiborbors to our side saw the truck, they asked us if we were moving and I said no. As we were moving those things out which included furniture and boxes, really ghetto neibors were staring us down. They just wouldn't look away which was odd to me but I just didn't realty look at them because some people out here do that on purpose to start a fight. Its an excuse for them. We never talked or did anything with these neighbors. The first thought that came to mind after the first 2 breakins was the neighbors on the side but I don't think it was now. The 3 guys that I saw didn't look like any of the neibors and were a different race. I may never figure this out but my new neibor accross the street told me she knows who did it and gave me his name. I didn't even know the neibor but for some reason she was real interested in getting into it. She said him and another kid was on the block on my porch the day before the last break in. I don't know the kid and don't know what to think. Whoever it was it seemed like they didn't expect to see me or anyone in the house that early in the morning. I should have been dead. I had a crucial 5 seconds to act and I did. It was one of the most scariest experiences of my life. I'm still a little scared but much better than last week. I couldn't even function last week. I still stay up till the sun rises to look out the windows to make sure all is OK. So I sleep days. It sucks cause I have a house to fix.

This experience has made me take a step back and think about how short and precious life really is. It has made me question what ill say to myself and spouse on my death bed. There's so much on this earth to see and experience. So many people in life is revolved around the internet or their smart phone or device or whatever new toy they bought. Consumers. I'm not really a consumer but I realize that I was making mistakes on quality of life for myself. Life became about how much money I needed to live a crazy life. Obsessed with millions. That's what it was about. Not even to spend it but it was like a score in a game. I lost track of what's really important to me. Life. Living our dreams. Our own bubble that isn't part of the system that most are part of. Eating real food with real ingriedients. Not the processed crap that give you. Enjoying the relationships with the people that you have around you. It isn't that difficult when you are prepared. The money machine makes it easier for the masses to spend their money. Your cell phone is now your credit card. You gotta buy 1000 ring tones. Its pathetic but the heard loves it. The heard will run right off a cliff. I realize now that I can't change the world. I can't help people I don't know. I can't be an activist type person. People are going to do what they are going to do. The work that it takes to show people the way seems wasted. The trolls on this site are not a new breed. They are everywhere in life. The way that I look at it we are all gods but doesn't mean we will do the right thing. We have animal I stincts that some people just can't control. Its life. It is what it is. This situation has shown me how I want to live out the rest of my life. Me and my spouse just want to be in our little bubble and just float around. Mind our buseness about everything. Live somewhat off the land but still travel a couple times a year. It doesn't take millions to live a great life as long as you can find investments that yield around 5%. I got a good amount of money to get me through the next 10 years. I'm just not going to plan it any more. When you do things in life that you want to do, money will just follow. Ill grow again some day. It was fun while it lasted.

 

[PoopyTeaBags]

ok ok ok... Listen here im calling bullshit... all this shit is made up... either that or your the dumbest damn pot grower ever... but i call bullshit.

 

[Hammerhead]

lmao ....I would agree but I will be nice doh

 

[Infinitesimal]

LOL... at least they weren't ceiling people this time!

 

[teemu shalanie]

wtf?

wtf?

wow, quiet a story , move outta the hood white boi , robbed 7 times , wow what r u waiting for them to violate u and your wife analy?

 

[332359]

If it were bull shit I'd be growing and showing you my trees. So tell me, I came to a weed site to tell stories and talk about things that don't happen. I don't get it. I have nothing to.gain from this. I'm not sure how some people can make their own conclusions but this is the internet. I don't have anything to prove so its OK. I come to this site to vent my frustrations and what I'm going through. I stay pretty isolated when I was growing and it takes a toll on me. The story is real though. I've been growing my whole life and its tough to give it up. It was a good business but it has changed. The newer growers are just not the same. Its not even just growers, people as a whole are just changing for the worst. I can accept it. For anyone who believes the story, try your best to set up grows in areas where neibors homes aren't 5 yards away from yours. City growing was a big mistake.

 

[Hammerhead]

Your story is far fetched to say the least. If this did happen to you Its time to find another way..You have way to much bad Karma following you around..

Now that you have been robbed 8x I dont think it would be wise to grow there anymore. find a Secluded area to grow in or move..If you cant do Either might be time to start using A dealer for your buds..

I have been growing for a few decades now. Never been robbed.. My neighbors are about 10' from my home.. The right equipment and keeping your trap shut you should be less likely to get robbed and if I was robbed the first time I would have moved then...

 

[332359]

I was trying to move after the first break in. We killed all of our moms and flowering plants. Its not as simple as pick up your things and leave in 30 seconds. We had a lot of things to move and we had to work around the ghetto peoples schedule so we didn't see them. We had to move from sunrise until 10:30ish am. These were the times when the neiboehood was safe for us. We had 3 floors of things to get out and a basement filled with shit too. Lots of equipment. We had to cut up big 4ftx8ft ebb&flow trays and box up grow equipment. It was a lpr of work and we had no protection. We couldn't call he police because we had too many incriminating things that took many days to get out of the house. After the 1st break in, we stayed at hotels for safty. Most times we came back in the morning and a door would be kicked in again. They even ripped apart the bulkhead to get in the basement and used a sledgehammer to get into.the apartments from the inside. They even left the hammer there too. After the first robbery, they knew what I had going on. They didn't expect to see plants and pounds of weed. I have no idea how they found the other house or if it was the same people. It most likely was. The point is that we shut down after the first break in and was trying to leave safely. We don't have a bunch of people we can depend on for help. We left our home base years ago to grow in owned houses cause renting was getting risky. We knew we had to own but it was too expensive where we lived to buy a home so we went hours away to what we could afford with no bank cause no one had a job in years. We did what we had to, to grow. Was it the best decision? In my mind it was either buy this house that we can afford or rent and take that risk
It was a risk either way. In the end I made a lot of money and grew a lot of trees. It was fun.

Why, all of a sudden, after growing for "many years", do you decide to hop on a forum and share all this? What good does it do for you to get on here and do it? Why would you trust us if you "need" to vent, when you haven't posted on here other than this? Suddenly you wander on to a site where you have no history, and start spewing fantastically ridiculous stories. Your stories don't add up. Your "reactions" to your stories don't add up, unless you are retarded. You aren't on here asking any questions about techniques or anything else.....

So you tell us..or just ME, What exactly are you looking to get out of this? I doubt it is the security of being among peers in a tough time, cause if this is the only place you have left in your life to find solace and comfort, then you have seriously screwed over too many people and burnt too many bridges in your life.

I'm not trying to be rude by any of this, I just don't think that fear mongers and doom and gloomers should be in here spreading their FEAR when it is already hard enough to make it by safely in an already unsafe arena.

Get to your point, ask questions, learn, grow, and get over whatever drama you are playing inside your head-- you've had enough attention already.

I think that it is obvious that my name has changed when this happened. I've been on this site for years. Just because my post count is low doesn't mean what you think. I don't have many people to depend on because my friends went in different directions and grew up. They are corporate people with families and not open to cannabis. I'm not from a Med state with people with open minds. People are closed here and more conservative. Most are cussing the dollar and don't make time to just hang and talk. They call when they need a favor or a loan. I've learned that many people are fake and the term friend is used very loosly. I didn't burn any bridge. I've helped many people in my life. But I was lucky because I grew trees and could help people. I'm not here to ask questions. I'm here to voice my situation so I can move on in a healthy way without holding this inside. Holding everything inside is not healthy.
