thieves overseas are stealing Porsche headlights to use as marijuana "grow lights". Netherlands newspaper De Telegraaf reports that 20 top end Porsche Cayenne SUVs and Panamera sedans have had their hi-tech HID headlights stolen, and police believe they are being used by hydroponic growers rather than a stolen car ring.
Perplexed Dutch owners have returned their cars to find their Porsche's headlights missing - but with everything else intact. Each headlight costs up to $1000.
Porsche Cars Australia spokesman Paul Ellis told News Limited there have no been reports of its headlights being stolen in Australia.
At least NSW Police will have a good idea what the crooks are looking for: the force recently took delivery of Porsche Panamera sedan as a community liaison vehicle in the North Sydney area command. It is the first Porsche to be donated to an Australian police force.

 

Seems like buying a grow light would be easier.

 

Now that its legal here in Denver, I'm glad my 997.1 doesn't have those fancy lights!

 

Thanks for the info. Now I can better utilize my headlights during winter storage.

 

Lol^^

 

Headlights can be run from batteries, instead of commercial power, so it is not so easy to trace. When your power bill spikes, from grow lamps, that sometimes alerts the Authorities. Does not sound practical for a large scale operation though.

 

I cannot wait for that plant to be legalized (it is already in Spain). This way, grow lamps will be purchased and Porsche owners will be able to sleep at night. I wonder why they do not use the BMW and Mercedes headlights? There must be something with the Porsche headlights.....although they are not exactly easy to remove.

What other pot growing tips can you share ?

 

don't get cought! and if so, deny, deny...

 

Maybe they'll just take your car and leave the lights.
