Good advice Kind67. You should never tell anyone!
Sharpstoner, you were very lucky to harvest. I once lost a plant 12yrs ago that was grown within 1hr from where you live. This thing was LST'd and still over 8ft tall, it was contained within a wire cage and booby trapped with plenty of barbed wire. It was also protected by a watch dog. I had to tell 1 friend because they could see it from outside my bedroom window. This one friend decided to boast on my behalf to another friend. This other friend was a dopey stoner who started a conversation about it in front of another untrustworthy individual. This untrustworthy person then told 2 crims about it. These crims came with all the right equipment at 3:30am and managed to cut open the 8ft cage from the top. They bundled all the branching together then winched the whole plant out through the hole in the top. Just in case they missed any plants they decided to dob me in to the authorities as well.
I lost the plant but not the war. I found out who these people were and I was pissed! I subsequently bugged their properties, compiled audio evidence of them dealing my weed and submitted it to the police. At the end of the day I ended up with a slap on the wrist and no weed. They ended up with jail time for dealing and possession.
