As my Nana used to say ' good fences make the best neighbours.'
I too hate nosy neighbours.My seem to be okay though, so far anyways.

Thats a terrible blow for you though, I can only imagine how you felt walking into growroom. Gutted.
After putting so much time into them, and now this.
I remember when the police took my plants, I was gutted, I kept saying ah lads, leave me babys with me...
I watched them walk drown the drive with my three week from harvest Plants. Sickener.
But again, only you can access your own risk.
Good luck.
