If Maria lives where I suspect she does, the laws are fucking draconian to say the least! Nothing aimless or random about it, if it is LEO. It's a distinct possibility that she got ratted out, IF this is the case... And using a drone is very efficient and fast vs. skulking about an abandoned property on foot. Cost effective too, they are not that expensive anymore... Where I think she's at, this is no obstacle for LEO, they are much more pragmatic about such things than "western" LEO agencies...

It's very possible and more than likely, it was just a hobbyist screwing around, but she did the wise thing and ducked for cover rather than try to get better look at the drone

Hang tough Maria, we are rooting for you!

If it's good for the goose, it's good for the gander!

I think it's time for someone to get a drone of their own!

I'm sort of kidding but that's probably about the only way I would ever go back.

It'd be just too much of a risk, not knowing exactly what actually happened.

Even if sophisticated enough to use drones, it seems doubtful law enforcement flies them for surveillance at night and simply can't in bad weather. Perhaps consider visiting the sites at night, when it's raining, etc.? And where a mask, a hood over your head, and very loose clothes. so if seen no one can tell body shape, even whether male or female. Or outright wear a costume, such as a whig. Maybe sneakily change clothes/costume on your way back home to help 'shake off' or evade anyone (or drone) following you. Particularly combined with installing some surveillance equipment, these and other carefully considered actions might let you resume tending the plants.

And you can see if non-LE types are scouting your plot to rip it off when plants are mature.

What kind of law enforcement do you have locally that has the budget, manpower, mandate, etc. to aimlessly fly drones hoping to find a few pot plants? And that is sophisticated enough to have scanners to identify WiFi or cell phone transmissions (that mean nothing in term of law enforcement and are surely well-encrypted)?

True.
The kind of law enforcement they have here.
I don't think the drone was LE, but hobby fliers could inform them.
LE here has no shortage of tech.

Very Valid questions

Along with a million thing flying through my mind at the time.

I doubt it's a rat.
Probably a hobby flier, but they could easily inform, and they could just do it immediately via a phone call...
Thanks for your support my friend, it's appreciated.

The idea of getting a trail cam is a good one that I'm still looking into.
Yeah, the risk makes it just not worth it.
Live to grow another day.

For various reasons I can't do a night visit.
And it would be very tricky going in there at night anyway.
But I'll keep all these ideas in mind as I go forward, thanks.

Looks like some possibilities with Garden Two.
Will need to amend the soil a bit, but there is a solution on site.

Dropping a lot of seeds, but due to poor storage, most are not germing.
Just a couple of sickly looking L'n'L Jones x (Grail x ThaiFrican) so far.
Will be dropping more, more, more, until I get a few living seedlings.

May just drop the last of the Hazes, and their flowering time be damned....
But also have a shopping cart with some goodies inside.
Autos may be a good solution, such as Auto Zamaldelica, due to faster overall time to harvest...
