If you dont grow herbs or peppers, disassemble everything. Find a storage place rent it for 50 bucks a month throw it all in their. Cops need a whole new warrant to search somthing or somwhere of yours thats not on the property.
Paying a couple hundred bucks for awhile is better then get busted.
As for your friend, i have 3 options.
1. Charge him for theft for the purpose of dristribution for personal profit. if he still has your computer charge him for stealing company property.
2. Go to your local hardware store. Get a ballpeen hammer grab ahold of him and smash every toe and finger.
3. Go to the sketchest part of town and pay some cracker to kill him/ hurt the guy.
If you charge him and it goes through his stament may seem more like an attempt to get out of charges. You can also blackmail him with charging him.
Im sorry if it seems overboard, but being betrayed by someone you help out so much really sucks.
