A day in the life in Cali.

It seems like all of the indoor pot busts lately have one thing in common. They all are stealing electricity. It sounds like the electric companies are getting better at catching thieves or more people are getting stupid.

People You Stand A Better Chance If You Pay Your Electric Bill, Not Steal It

That's crazy. Taking it to the extreme will get you busted and theres another perfect example. Take care and be safe.

That would be a pretty hefty electrical bill though that would have probably heated them out faster than them stealing it.

"Stealing" it reflects poorly on ALL indoor cultivars.
I suppose it depends somewhat on your area, but "I" personally believe, that 'my' electrical company could care less how much elec. I use, as long as I "pay for it."...

Yea no kidding. You figure about 1000w per 20 plants..., thats nearly 350,000w if my math is correct. Can you imagine how much the electric company would have been profiting off of that? They'd protect you at all costs, it'd be like an Italian crime family.

this sure was a big story yesterday, every news show i tuned into had it for a head line.....the anchors were even kidding about getting a contact high from the fumes, and one news crew was saying the police were letting them in the house to film and no police watching them....wonder if the camera guy got to take home some stash?

 

[smokybear]

I would have if I were that camera man. You can bet your bottom dollar on it. Just my thoughts. Take care and be safe.

RoFLMBO... I recall an incident, where while "hitchin' a ride" in the back seat of a Sherrifes SUV, 6 confiscated, smallish seeded plants in the back storage space/trunk area, on an hour ride to county jail.
The Deputies commented a few times, even rolled down their windows, because they were "getting high", being over taken, by the odor/fumes !!!.... As much as I wanted to, I didn't tell them just how ignorant that was...

Oh no! I hope those weren't your plants and you going off to jail!

heee heee he.. I "hoped" the same thing...

Its just sicking how many for profit attempts are made by greedy people, IMO this is one of the biggest reasons as to why legalization/decrimilization should be fast put into effect. If there is no blackmarket for it then there is no way these thugs can make a profit from it. Heck there has been another 2 TON bust in my parts again.

This is totally true. I know of some big shows and as long as that bill is payed up on time, all is well. Gone are the days of the electrical company turning folks in for a $100 jump in your bill. At least in cali.

 

[smokybear]

I believe the electric companies are out for profits and could care less as long as your payment reaches them in time every month. Stealing it is another matter entirely though. They make us decent, hard working citizens look like criminals when we grow a few plants for personal consumption. It's busts like this that are killing our cause. Just my thoughts. Take care and be safe.
