Cannabis à la Porsche 

Il fanali ad alta densità (HID) di alcuni modelli Porsche sono facili da smontare con un cacciavite e producono la stessa luce e calore necessari alla coltivazione intensiva della cannabis, però consumano molta meno energia delle apposite lampade, perciò i coltivatori domestici olandesi hanno preso a razziarle (venti in una settimana) in quanto un sospetto alto consumo di corrente elettrica è un modo per le autorità di identificare i produttori.

Thieves stealing Porsche headlamps to use as cannabis grow lights. Porsche owners are facing a new threat from criminals who are stealing their high intensity headlights to help grow cannabis. There has been a spate of raids on Panamera and Cayenne models in Amsterdam as pot producers have found the lights are perfect for home growing needs. The high intensity discharge (HID) lamps are apparently easy to prise out with a screwdriver – as up to 20 drivers in the Netherlands have found to their cost in the last week alone. Cannabis producers are fond of the lights because they use far less energy than purpose-built set-ups, but still produce the same light and heat. High electricity consumption is one-way authorities spot home-growing cannabis producers. A spokesman for Porsche GB said there had been no similar cases in the UK yet. "It's happened to a very small number of cars in Amsterdam," he said. "There have been no recorded cases here in the UK, so as such we can't issue any technical advice or solution. It's one of those stories that has caught the imagination because it is so unusual"... Aol
