Cheap Vehicle Quote, Porsche headlamps being stolen to be used for marijuana grow lights
Thieves in Amsterdam have been preying upon unsuspecting Porsche models recently. That in and out of it’s self, may not seem unusual, but the burglars are not attempting to make off with the entire car. What they are stealing is only the HID headlights. It is believed that the headlights make for ideal lighting solutions when growing marijuana indoors.
The high-intensity discharge bulbs give off more heat and require much less power than standard grow lamps, yet, critically, they offer the right quality of light and heat. According to De Telegraaf, as many as 20 Porsches fell victim to this trend, resulting in thousands of dollars in damage. The cost of a typical HID assembly for hydroponics can run from $100 to $500, and up.
This is apparently the latest hot-button item to be stolen from luxury cars, following navigation systems and airbags.
