Get a new location. You answered your own question when you wrote "Would they be stupid enough to think im stupid enough to plant in the same place again?" Yes they would. I gotted ripped off last year at the tune of 6 monster plants. During the day they took 5 of them and that evening they came back for the one left behind. I was going to move the one plant the following morning. I was bummed for 3 weeks.
