Hide your stash, drones are coming for it!

Criminals are dicks. That much we all know is true. But now these dicks are using heat-sensing drones to pull off "sophisticated" heists of weed farms (yes, that weed) in the United Kingdom, as local paper Halesowen News discovered. Consider this quote from one enterprising crop hijacker:

It is not like I'm using my drone to see if people have nice televisions. I am just after drugs to steal and sell. If you break the law, then you enter me and my drone's world.


It's solid logic, really. Marijuana has yet to be legalized in the UK, so growers are technically in the wrong for bothering to grow their own, get high and overeat while watching terrible telly. Or, fine, they're probably selling that weed, too. And also, these opportunistic crooks are using drones to hunt down these cannabis crops! So, I guess we should applaud their enterprising spirit? I don't know how to feel.

Hard to know who's the criminals in this one.

They are all criminals in this one.

Toe-cutters going hi-tech. Nothing new, just new technology being used. Stronger criminals have been taxing weaker ones since Noah was a lad. Chopper Reid for example, did little else. It's why drug dealers carry guns. They don't need to shoot their customers, or the Police, they need to stop other lads robbing them.

The Diabolical Monocle

The perfect crime - the stoners will never know for sure if they actually saw a drone steal their weed or if it was just some good sht man.

Bring your own stash this time.

Actually to be honest I'm not sure where I stand on it. I used to be 100% against but the fact that it has been legalised in a few states has me reconsidering. I suppose once they stay of our roads it's not too bad.

Yes, the roads belong to alcohol and tobacco addicts who never cause any trouble or mess.

Surely you can make an opinion on something regardless of whether or not it is legal?

That's a leap too far right there. Actually have an opinion?? One entirely your own?? Jasus. Radical man.

JONJO THE MISER

Legal in Washington and Colorado, i would not go out of my way to get weed but having lived in Canada where nearly everyone smokes, i did not mind taking the odd puff.
Going to Denver soon and will try some of it there, they even have it in vending machines there now.
