    We have been more concerned with security lately in Tronville.

    With that said we have been paying attention to LEO shows and grow ops getting busted.

    1. Police Women of Broward County - "were tipped off to a grow op"
    they went to the house knocked on the door, the 18 year son answered the door, LEO said " Are your parents home, --No-- we are here about marijuana being grown here" the kid said " oh, its my fathers":dog-nana: , and took em right to it. it was a nice setup too. They commented on how well keep the plant were as they were pulling em up.

    2. DEA - following a "TIP" on a guy selling $5,000 a pound weed, they did a Thermal search (hell yes they showed it) his house lit up like a Xmas tree with exhaust going out the chimney. They popped him when he left the house. took him back to HANDLE THE DOG.
    His setup was amazing, the entire basement, multiple 1000 watters 8 to 10 of em at least, CO2, complete hydro setup. :potleaf-3: :potleaf-3: :potleaf-3:
    We could go on but trust us it was kick ass complete with illegal electricity setup. They packed a van with just his plants and harvested buds bagged by the pound. He had so much equipment that they elected to just destroy some of it and leave it there. One DEA agent said in his 16 years on the force it was the best and most elaborate setup he has ever saw.

    Anyway we all know of some busts, our question is........... what the fuck happened ?? It seems most growers are getting popped for selling or mere stupidity. any opinions ? or horror stories, we are saying the average dick minding his business and keeping his crop to himself is cool......... Right ???

    The problem is times are tuff right now a lot of people are out of work & need the extra money. That's when the trouble starts you sell to some one they might sell to someone else they do something stupid & get popped the first thing Leo said is where did you get the pot we can make a deal. Shit happens & you don't know what people will do to get out of trouble.-Bud

    Dude!


    It's one thing to 'barter' your excess, but entirely another thing to have that much going on.


    You have to consider the benifits vs the gain.


    It's one thing to take advantage of a way to get thru these tough times dickhead :BushDumb: caused us, but with a few 1000's, etc., the ppl knew the risks. I'm sure.


    I just read the last 2 posts (I'm getting fooked and didn't send my enlightenment.


    I have 2 trusted friends and 1 dude I've met at the dogpark. Side note: I knew he had med problems, another walker (chick) mentioned he had AIDS. I couldn't give a fuck, but he say's it's from a transfusion. When he talk's about one friend, in particular, it's obvious that he has gay friend. Again. I DON'T FUCKING CARE! It's sad, reguardless.


    Anyho... today I felt extra nice and gifted him a sm. ball of hash. I forgot that he told me he had alot of trouble sleeping. I told him to put the whole ball in a bedtime bowl and take 2 hits. Puts me out!


    Oh.


    I 'know' him the least, but I'd bet my life that he's not the least secure. One good buddy is in a house band and seems pretty safe (you can tell by how ppl act). My other buddy is a business assc. Trust me. He has ALOT more to lose than I do.


    As I've said before (and hope it's not my downfall)... I have family in The DEA. They're MUCH more concerned with bigger things. It's the local fucktards that need watching.


    I hope that I'm still on topic. I'm fucked up!

    It always starts out innocent then you get the superman grower that thinks Leo can't catch them to smart to get popped & he grows more & more . The thing is Leo has unlimited funds & technology once they put their mine to you might as well pull your pants down & just bend over.-Bud

    sounds like the power stealing brought this tronville citizen down maybe?


    Tron for such an amazing sounding set up that obviously took time and money to create why the hell would this tronville citizen steal power supply,its a sure fire way to get the heat level raised in these circumstances.It sounnds a shame for the guy,even more so for the kid but when the heat comems you gotta be prepared to drop everything and walk away in 30 seconds.... that sounds like a good line actually,i could see that in a de niro film,lol. Seriously though Tron,i know power costs but unless he was stealing it in a very sophisticated way then id say this was a possible factor in his downfall. See the part about people growing weed minding there own business is exactly the way i see it.... but when we steal electricity thats how we give the bastards ammo against us.Sad to hear all the same.Fix up look sharp Tronville:pimp:

    The thing is with the cops and whoever is.......they need to BUILD a case on you, unless your an idiot and hand it to them, your NOT going down if you keep the same contacts and limit the amount of them, same old story (loose lips)........They need to catch you with marked bills via a setup transaction or getting pulled over with our stash or giving off smell from the grow op.........alot of people freak about the electricity bill, unless your stealing it or have a $1000 bill for a 1bedroom house your cool........it comes down to being a fuckin idiot or having a giant EGO............both will get you caught (eventually)........I know ALOT of hustlers that move differant products, they range in ages of 20-55 yrs old........as they get up in age.....everyone who has tried to make a carreer out of hustling has been to jail at some point for their actions.......its the rule of life........everntually you get jammed up!!!!


    Either you live the life of a gambler always looking over your shoulder or you walk away from this life, thats up to you but PLEASE read and listen to all the thoughts in your head, that little voice is mostly right.......you do have to take your other self with a grain of salt but its there for a reason.


    Just remember they have to build a case on you


    Dont be a moron and hand it to them

    Know why they call it 'gut instinct'?


    Apparently, the lining of the 'gut' is the same as the lining of the brain.


    This is sticktly a ballpark, but my 'gut' is about 99.999% right.


    If it feels bad, then it probably is.

    it is kinda like we suspected, stupidity and boldness gets you popped, as hard as it is to do, keep your grow and final products to yourself and you should be cool.


    good info from all :popcorn-2:

    A couple fairly recent regional busts:


    1. Guy's dog hit by a car and killed. Cop goes to house to inform owner and smells pot. Warrant issued. Guy arrested for about 6 clones and several ounces of bagged product. Scales, High Times mags, and bongs/pipes galore. Not even a real grow.


    Watch those dogs, and burn some insence.


    2. Guy threatens neighbor with a sword. Cops called and somehow get to search and find a grow of some sort.


    Don't threaten people with swords.
