busted or ripped? plants gone, garbage left behind

One spot plants were in bags and all the bags were cut down the side and plants removed. not much soil was gone. Obviously the bags were left behind. I know this spot was stumbled on a while back and I abandoned it. Plants were there but it was obvious someone was there so I never went back. After seeing the other spot, I checked on these

Second spot plants were transplanted from bags to the ground but the bags were in the bushes next to each plant. Plants were ripped up, but bags and water jugs were left behind.

Would LEO leave all the bags and water jugs or was this some dumb rippers who didn't know better that the plants just started flowering?

The two spots are far enough apart that LEO would never find both of them except for helicopter

The spot that was comprised was a small spot, and I abandoned it. Did not really have a better place and cut my losses. I never would have gone back except for seeing my other spot gone.

Truthfully I can handle rippers. I would lay my head down and not loose a minutes sleep. I knew the odds and it was just a haphazard grow. Nowhere near what I am capable of inside with hydro.

I know LEO can not do much, I always wore gloves, etc. But it just creeps me out

Its fucking disgusting, you should be creeped out and feel violated. These people are fucking scumbags and slime, youve had your personal space invaded and molested.

Feel whatever you want to feel, you got a right to. Just be smarter in picking spots next time.

Whats worse a 4 mile hike to a secluded spot for cannabis or no cannabis? Id go with some over none and for a little bit extra work.

Does LEO take garbage?

Does LEO take garbage?

I posted this in the legal section but figured I would get more response from the outdoor growers.

If LEO takes down 50 or so plants, do they leave all the grow bags, water jugs etc?

What would you think if all your plants were gone but everything else was left?

Those scum suckers will confiscate everything scouring for fingerprints as well as put surveillance cameras up on or near your plot.

Back in the day I had occasion to have the police take the plants from one of my outdoor patches. The cop split a piece of wood with his calling card held in the split. I've often wondered why the heck he did that. Did he think I might call him up and confess? I guess it was worth a shot. Most criminals are genuinely stupid so I can see that happening. Perhaps I was supposed to get the fear of gawd in me and quit growing because a cop pulled up my plants.

Anyway my point is that when it happened to me the cop marked his territory in order to make sure I knew he did it.

EVERYTHING is evidence I would imagine in what could be a potential case if they find someone to tie it to. You probably got ripped off by some idiots.

I used to grow at some persons house and i would give him a portion of the finished product, he was always too damn lazy to do it for himself. another person did the same as myself.

next night of the day of my harvest the other dudes plants get ripped two weeks into flowering they were in 20 gals and 6 feet, they probably faced a grim future anyway.

Hilariously I was blamed by these fucking morons as if I would dare smoke the shit buds that came from those immature plants. Friendships down the toilet.

LEO does not clean up his mess just doesn’t happen but if it was private property he would let the owner know and they may or probably would pick up the mess.

You don’t really think that cops make sure the place is cleaned up do you its a case of every unionized work place "not my job".

It kind of sounds like it was torn down by other growers to me.Like maybe you were growing too close to their grow so this is how they get rid of you.Could that be possible?

And although it doesnt really sound like the cops to me...I would be careful going back to either one of those spots again.I have read here outdoor growers talking about how the police will post cameras in the woods to catch a grower when he comes to the grow.

If its possible at all I would abandon the whole area as far as growing goes.I wish you good luck.Please be careful though.
