What property if he didn’t have drugs?

Isn’t drugs the basis of home invasion gigs?

Maybe they wanted his wheat grass or something like that?

Assholes will rob pretty much anyone they think has anything. Assumptions are frequently wrong.

Look, citizens. This crap is just plain ugly. Look at the front page of the Oakland paper -> http://www.eastbaytimes.com/oakland-tribune

More violence in Eureka/McKinleyville/Fortuna area than Oakland. Its about time we, the hard-working citizens of Humboldt all got together and said “NO DAMN MORE CRIME WILL BE TOLERATED!”

Wow. I thought criminals only went after huge mega grows. They must not have gotten Kym’s message. “If I were a robber, I’d look for bigger gardens and drying sheds.”
