Major dramas

[Monty92]

Around 9.30 last night we hear a loud bang from our communal area. We go take a look and a fella in high vis is standing at our front door. We ask him what he wants and he starts blustering about a friend at number 6.

We ask him why he smacked the door so hard and he starts getting visibly agitated. We ask him to close the door and he doesn’t. Suddenly another fella wearing a crash helmet emerges from the BASEMENT in our communal area carrying one of them huge transit boxes with “guarded” written on the side and starts to walk out the front door.

At this point we realise something seriously ****ing weird is going on. We ask who the **** they are and the basement fella says “police”. Outside we notice a moped and TWO getaway cars, which quickly speed off with them all inside.

Anyway, police come round and as we’re recounting the incident they get a call through on their walkie talkies about a missing transit box full of money in the area, and helicopters flying overhead!

Basically, it seems these guys had cased our joint and identified our flats as a place to stash their booty. Not entirely sure why they wouldn’t have chosen a secluded garage or something, rather than private flats full of residents...

Mesut is gonna wanna leave when he hears about this

If he can put up with playing for Arsenal he can put up with anything.

What if it was his money though?

Wouldn't you find it more convenient to live in a house?

Makes sense, hiding in full view. The only ones who'd discover the box would be people who'd shrug their shoulders and presume it was something to do with one of their neighbours and think nothing more of it. They probably wouldn't even touch it.

On the other hand, a secluded garage, lock-up or warehouse is always highly suspicious, just as a matter of course. This little enterprise was "discovered" a while back. It's just up the road from my in-laws' house in Germany. Hopefully, the police tidied up the case before going public with it; whoever was running this would've been for the high jump from bad hombres.

THat is a pretty poxy set up, to be honest. The plants are too close together and the lighting isnt rigged properly. Uneven distribution.

****ing amateurs!

On the contrary, I understand it was a highly professional operation. 1000 sq/m of it in the middle of a mostly residential area. Carbon filters for the ventilation, irrigation built into the floor, vats of water with pumps. The building was also blacked out and there was apparatus and machinery so that all the drying, shredding and packing could be performed on-site. The temperature and lighting was fully-automated too so, unlike at your mum's, there was not too many comings and goings.

I am sure it had all of that. A fella with a grow room in his loft has all that. Still, their lighting and plant spacing is crap. Its going to produce an inferior and uneven yield. Typical commercial grower- no care for quality.

Ah, yes. I see what you mean. Blame Ronald McDonald.

I liked the guys that were caught in Manchester. Had filled their attic space with weed and all the lighting and then it snowed, the Police spotted that there was absolutely no snow on their roof and every other house was covered and so raided it.
