What would I do if someone tried to steal my plants from my back yard? Shoot them, no. I don't have a gun to do so. But id sure as hell beat the fuck out of them till they aren't moving, then throw there dumbasses off of my property.
I don't get why some of you think it's irrational to shoot someone over a plant. It's MINE. I worked for it, i planted it and I tended for it. As far as you know, I love that plant like my first kid. As far as you know, this is what I'm relying on for extra money.
Stealing is stealing lol, weather it's drugs, money, kids, ect. If it doesn't piss you off enough to hit that level, you can bet the next guy probably feels that way.
Edit: With that being said, id just wait a couple months and see if it has any deficiancies or anything. Hell if you're that interested and don't want to steal it, leave a note hahaha. ''Lost and found plant, will harvest in 3 months if you don't'' hahaha.
