Could you let us know a little more about ethical booby trapping of outdoor grows?
Crystal, these folks are not active in the forum at this time. Your recent thread covers the question well. Let's get a bump on that one and see what the present crop of members feel about the booby trapping.Quote:

Back bordering a field with 2 ponds. 7/10 of an acre....FENCED IN on three sides, only open on road frontage. POSTED. Clearly private property with tresspassers NOT welcome. I can't keep a lawn mower, tiller, garden tools & my plants are usually stolen. They even stole my tv antenna! Its always been bad for thieft, but since they put a new scrap yard in 3 miles from me, I can't keep anything made out of metal! House sits close to the road. Being so narrow, you're pretty darned close to the house when you sneak into the back yard. NOBODY goes to the back of my house but thieves. I'm considering booby traps. Not deadly ones. Just twine or wires that will trip them with a bunch of cans or stuff to make a lot of noise when they get tangled up in the shit. Nobody hates a thief as much as me. Never had honest people sneak into the back yard & probably never will. I don't live in town, I live way out in the boonies. So if a thief breaks his leg in my back yard, I'll have no remorse, I'll just yell out my door, 'hey Billy & Gary! Who do you want me to call, John (their father) or the cops?' They're 47 & 50, never had jobs except stealing & freeload off their elderly father. Billys in rehab, Garys in jail..... but they'll be back.
-- So when used properly, booby traps can be your friend! :) :) :)
I know I just posted, but..... if you plant your grow on gov property, parks or other public areas, & you booby trap it & someone gets hurt, don't you think that just might make the cops search the area & find your grow for sure? Kinda defeates the purpose, don't cha think? Food for thought.
For private properties, Is it not enough to just post "Private Property, No Trespassing"?
I once saw a warning on the fence I think it was also in the internet and it says: "Warning:Private Property. Trespassers will be shot. Survivors will be shot again"
Had a hearty laugh cos I thought it was a joke of sorts. But if it wasn't? Kinda scary indeed.

When it obviously someone's fenced in back yard, you would think a posted sign would be enough, & it SHOULD BE. But... in this case its 2 brothers, one 50 & the other 47-48 who don't work, they steal & freeload & live off their elderly father. Years ago they hung in my group & on payday I'd party everybody at my expense. When I was crushed in an accident becoming disabled, & now living on a sm diability check, I can't afford to party anyone at my expense, not even myself. So since they can't get freebies from me anymore, that makes me the enemy. When caught red handed & confronted, their reply was, I'm a greedy bitch for not 'sharing the wealth', I deserve everything they've done to me, & they said 'what are you gonna do, call the cops, whip our ass?' (along with some other nasty name calling) & they spit on me & threw their beer in my face. Couldnt call the cops, they were taking my plants along with some other personal property. Its a game to them & they call it 'beat the bitch'. Couldn't whip their asses, they're healthy & younger than me, I'm a 60 yr old crippled woman with a cane. They're over 6' & I'm 5'2", so ass whipping is a no go there. So if they get out jail & rehab before I get my harvest in next coming fall, & they get harmed in one of my non-lethal booby traps...... well, they DID say I deserved everything they did to me.....
-- They ARE the only ones going into my fenced in back yard uninvited (& under the cover of night). Like I've said before. Booby traps in public accessible places are inhumane, unethical, & an all around bad thing. Mine are designed to make a LOT of noise, but a leg or ankle could be broken/sprained getting entangled in the trip wire or cord that activates all the noise......& under these circumstances, I would feel no remorse.
im sorry to read this catbuds :( i fell for you its hard when ppl run you over like that. i try almost the same as you, 1 day 3 of my best friends called me up and said they were close by and asked if I had a little smoke they could get. and I said yes definitely , 3 hours later a car up in the driveway and I go out and locks up because I could see they were the ones who came out of the car and walked into the living room again 3 minutes later I hear one strange noise from the next room and I took my baseball bat in his hand and walked slowly into the other room and there they stand with all my smoke and smashed my window and walked into the road and steal my smoke I screamed at my house mate that we had burglary. and my 3 "friends" attacked me I broke his arm on one of them and after I do not remember much that was one of them struck me with something hard from behind, and I went out like a light , I woke up almost an hour later on the floor inside the room , and my roommate did stand like a boss and hate the 3 guys in the corner. He stood and aimed at them with a gun , i was just like wtf just happend . and he was like thes guys did knock you out bro. and i was looking at thos fools and thinking "wtf" my 3 bedst friends just was trying to steal from me. my room mate was just like lets tire them up 1 after 1 and take 1 at the time to the room next dore and beat the crap out of them. i did say lets tire them up and take them for a ride in their car. and we was driving to my older brother he lives in the woods. when i told him who was trying to roob me. he was freaking out becors i have know them all my life. and they was shitting in their pants it was starting to get dark and we was holding them on the back seat of their own car. they did know when i was driving to my brother it was bad for them. they knew something was wrong. when I had driven them out to my brother. my brother has always been my and their back when we took the city and such.Quote:

the only thing they learn from is a big beat down. i have never seen them again. and no police reports.
trust me i know how you fell
I think thieves deserve what ever happens to them. But I still think its a shame when innocent people get caught up in it by accident. I think the laws & society are too lenient on thieves, especially in districts who have no self defence laws. Around here, if somebody jumps you & you fight back, you're both charged with assault. Our local laws don't see it as you defending yourself, you're as guilty as the person who attacked you. Only one thing will make you exempt..... it has to be obvious to the observers eye that you are physically disabled. Between this & the leniency on thieft, our local laws really do protect the criminals.
-- I thought these asses were my friends for years. Then my Dad died. He left me the house, (needing repairs), & through no fault of his own, a bunch of bills. Both he & my mom had long lingering illnesses before their deaths, so the bills piled up. A few days after the funeral, here come the brothers saying 'share the wealth'. I'm like, 'what wealth?' They say, come on man, we know he left you some money. Ah, the money in the bank goes toward the hospital bills & ballance on the funeral. The only money flowing around here flows out of my pocket & into the hospital, you know, the ballance of the bills. A few days later I came home from work & found I'd been robbed. The house was nearly emptied, EVERYTHING out of my grow room, plants, lights, fans & ALL. Since the grow was gone, I called the cops. They left a crow bar & a couple beer cans behind with their prints on them & all over my bedroom & got three years for 'day time burglary'. Long story I know, but now its all out war with them. They're still dealing out 'pay backs' for me sending them to jail. All I got out of that was the reputation of a 'snitch', so now I can't even buy herb!
thos ppl are to mutch. wtf cant you buy your herb ? becors they roob you. what a shitty dealer. if he cant see you did what you had to do. then he aint the time worh. i hope you can grow your own meds, what you did was not what a "snitch" do. a "snitch" is some one who get cought and take other with him in jail. then he get reduced time.
what you did was only to get your stuff back and your property, i think what you did was thumbs up:thumbsup: !!
i would have payed some big ppl to drive out to this 2 fools and let them know who is the boss you know what i mean :) let this big guys do what they want to do with them ^^ throw them around in their own home ^^"
i did this for a friend for some years back i was like 16 and 1 of my friends was a dealer and 2 guys was behind is payment they was just running from the bill. and i got an offer i couldent refuse, so we did take the hoodies on and did go in that house with 2 baseball bat's, that was crazy. i got scared in that house my friend did lose control at them. and i was starting to say " dude you are gona kill them " stop stop stop dude. stop man . and i needed to say if you aint gona stop now im out and i wont see you again man. then he was like man they owe me allot. "allot was 20 k" and i was like ok but you dont get your money if you kill them man. and today he is sitting in jail he got 4 years for it. he dident "snitch" me. the 2 guys dident know me so they dident get me. he was 1 of my bedst friends. and i learned from him that dont ever let ppl fuck you over. that was 1 of the bedst things i have learned. ps. i dream about this almost every day, it wakes me covered in sweat
you can allways find ppl who wona do the dirty job for you if you just pay the right price. and thos ppl know how to let them know that if they come fuck with you they will get fucked harder then you, i hope you know what i mean :cool:
popo dont do shiit for ppl in my contry only if its like over 10k $ worth of items that got stolen.
