This all goes along with the new spectacle of odd shops popping up selling Hydroponic equipment , there are several around East London , I mean. Honestly how people want this kit to grow tomatoes in their spare bedroom , I asked a plod recently about our local one at work , she said "can't do anything about them , it's not illegal " so there you go , but lights from cars wow!

Everything is legal up until the point the seeds germinate. If you've ever been to an industrial facility where they grow tomatoes / cucumbers / aubergines etc etc - you'll see this on a huge scale

The lights being stolen are LED, not HID IIRC, so our S2000 lights are safe for now, apparently. Then again, criminals don't tend to be Walter White, most of the time...

From that article, it appears it's not really about growing cannabis at all, just satisfying Yorkshire Rangey Owners' appetites for saving money and for bling.

Typical - probably Leeds / Bradford too

I think it's more common to steal the floodlight type lights you see on the ground outside company buildings. A prospective thief can grab a fair few from a business park in an evening, probably far more lucrative a haul than from the odd car and much less work to take.

S2k part theft is just because the parts are valuable and in demand as car parts.
