People move to McKinleyville because they think it’s safer…

Some parts are. Some parts much less so. This sounds like they knew the people and the scene there. At least enough to make a guess and invade. They could have made a better pay-out at a dozen other houses in that neighborhood if they only knew.

Still curious why it’s ok to say there’s places to target in said neighbor hood. What if someone innocent with no grow gets shot because that comment?

Guest- Slow down, man! I wasn’t trying to incite thieves. And I thought by now that we all know that there are probably a dozen weed houses in EVERY neighborhood. My point is that they chose THIS house, with such a small payout probably means they knew the inside scoop. For a decade now the real threat has not been police but ripoffs. Please everybody keep your scene clean and only invite people over that you trust to keep your scene secret. Times are turning desperate around these parts and bad things may start happening more frequently.

It IS safer if you’re not processing weed in your house. Dumb!

Sounds like someone owed someone else money, Id bet the victim knows the vandals. Or at least why they were in his house.

Not to say its the case here but the most hidden addiction in our is gambling and people owe a lot of money to others who will come hurt you & steal your stuff to get you to pay them back.

And to Willy, when there are breakins not involving drugs (which there are a lot of in northern hum) do you say, “expensive jewelry of course”?
As you watch the fire departments and businesses slowly go away you’ll be praying for the black market to thrive.

Fortunately Legalization has taken the crime out of Marijuana.

That’s a crock . A man lost his life down in south Santa Rosa not that long ago due to growing marijuana. Three Vallejo men were arrested. That’s just to start the list. Legalization has led to more arrests to.

It has been a worry of mine in recent years that some one would come a kicken’ my door in because I am surrounded by grow houses.

The local folk know we don’t grow. But since all these outside folks come in to these parts, no one is for sure who is a good target. Any hoo just wanted to get it out there not ever one is a harberin’ dope. Kick in the door to rob or harm me or my chillens especially the chillens you may end up D E A D dead.
