Five Whole Days (UPDATED)
- A Logan Square cannabis dispensary shop was burglarized early Monday, according to the Chicago Police Department.
Just after 8 a.m., Chicago police responded to a report of a burglary that had taken place in the 2800 block of West Fullerton Avenue, which is where MOCA Modern Cannabis is located, while the business was closed. The break-in started in the side door, possibly with a person using a key card, and the person then took off with cash from the shop, according to police.
None of the merchandise inside was taken during the burglary, and police didn’t say how much money was missing. No one was in custody as of Monday afternoon.
Key card? That makes it "not a burglary" but a "theft from building" according to the downgrading matrix.
Once the money starts stacking up in these places (you can't pay by check or credit/debit card) and someone figures out the supply schedules (trucked in from known locations) then we'll see how seriously the gangs/cartels are taking this when they try to knock over an armored car full of cash/weed.
UPDATE: A couple of people who seem to know say the score was $200,000 in untraceable cash. When word gets out.....

Who did not see that coming?
Well they should have security 24/7. I’m working a place as a side job and it’s 75 an hour cash.
014 rangers were just falling all over themselves rushing there 10 minutes ago for a burglary in progress. Someone needs to teach these kids how to use the radio. Unreal the lack of common sense on this job.
Is The Mob a//k/a Machine involved yet? Al Capone would love this shit.
Guess the "robbers" had all the product they needed. Just after cash that was stolen from " their" corner market. Only the first of many security problems for new legal weed.
You have a breathalyzer for alcohol is there a weedalizer yet? Your going to need one.
All cash business, what could go Wrong? How have all the other states dealt with this Problem? Or is it only Illinois home of criminal sanctuary city Chicago that is having this issue? It will get worse once the gangs figure out how to intercept those cash Laden customers before they get to the store locations.
does anyone remember when the lying politicians passed the cannabis laws there was supposed to be a security guard on the premises 24/7. Then after passing they changed (reneged) the law.
Why does 019 district assign a special beat to protect the dispensary on Clark Street on all shifts. So not only are drugs perfectly acceptable and loved now, but now we give them free police protection every single day. Gosh, the tax-payers of Lakeview don't need protection from burglaries and robberies, but you can find plenty of cops in front of the weed store giving them governmental free police protection. What a world we have become, how twisted, that the media doesn't expose it, nor do they care. CPD is going down the tubes just like the rest of this corrupt city.
moe larry the cheese! LMFAO
this is just the beginning of weed fueled creativity in thievery.
it's only property crime. right kimmy?
The Gold Coast Ghetto Wildings and robberies continue along the mag mile.
The first of many to come.
Speaking of armored trucks, one was stolen and burned the the same day.

Well now, I would say if a key card was used to get in, who was
issued that card. I guess your security system is flawed. Time to pay for 24 hour physical security. Is thus one of Mike Chasens' spots?
In the rest of Illinois, a burglary occurs when a person enters a building to commit a theft, or another felony. But this is Crooked County, where our State's Attorney commits Official Misconduct (also a felony), so. And of it was a key card entry, the dispensary will know which employee did it (or was part of the crew who did it).
Interesting thought and highly likely in Chicago. But, I wonder, have these robberies materialized in other states that have legalized weed?
Who would have thunk.
The first report of "Weed Wackers" but certainly not the last.
Key card?
Sounds like "Inside job".
Perhaps someone wasn't as well vetted as they thought.
How long before the CPD has a car or foot post assigned 24/7. Let us know when it comes down from 35th St.
Yeah, and I don't see the feds legalizing weed too soon and allowing the banking industry to capitalize on dope money.
police didn’t say how much money was missing
I heard $200k cash
Question - can they deposit this cash in banks or banks won't take it due to cannabis still being illegal federally?
This place will b getting a sleep in guard shortly?
Does the victim(dispensary) pay tax on the “stolen” loot. Reminds me of the old “ I got stuck up and they took my food stamps” I need a report to get them food stamps replaced.gonna be lots of bogus reports generated by the new cash cow.
sounds like an inside job , someone might end up in cement boots .
security 24/7 and not sworn on duty Lori , our children , elderly being shot , beat down , robbed while you , yes you madam mayor allow Rahm Emmanuel , Richie Daley and now pot shops to have sworn on duty police protection
shame on you , we all expected much more from you .
also eliminate at least 30 alderman positions , put it on the next ballot ,it will pass.
Key card used? Safe? Can anybody say inside job?
anyone have a guess when the first armed robbery at the pot shops will take place? any guess when the first shooting will occur.
look at the thieves committing strong armed robberies on mag mile
roughing up employees , taking $1,000's in merchandise
brought to you by democratic chicago , cook county politicians that need votes
Who's hiring armed retiree's for these and pays good?
Must be a place where I dont have to inhale the shit being smoked tho.
What about bitcoin? Can that be used for weed?
These jags are offering 30.00 an hour!! If you chose to work one of those shops, better be 75.00 an hour or better. All the money they make and you protect them and their money for anything less then that? Pay up or get fucked up!
When Controlled Substances are removed from a
Terminal Distributor (retail pharmacy, hospital pharmacy,
dispensing clinic, wholesale distributor) either by direct
theft (robbery), burglary, or employee diversion, an incident
form must be completed and submitted to the DEA to account
for the names of the drugs, strength, dosage form, and
quantity stolen/missing, and approx. wholesale/retail value.
I can just picture the new loss reports (if they exist at all):
Wowie-Zowie, 8 X One Ounce (30 Gm. Units)
Myan-Hawaiian, 1 Kg. (Bulk Pak; for retail division)
*******
You get the idea. Theft or diversion of a Class I Substance
is a paperwork headache.
Can these 'Dispensaries' obtain insurance on their inventories?
After a late 70s retail pharmacy robbery, I was told that "cash"
cannot be insured.
People think these things are problem-free gold mines when
in fact they are dangerous operations: business wise, tax
wise and accounting and paperwork wise.
First, cpd is placing weed dispensary as prohibited places to work side gigs. Second, wait till they start giving ex cons a cut of this pie to make up for calling them criminals. There will be bodies when takeover robberies start.
Raking in the money and too cheap to hire security people to guard the cash. Idiots.
$200k in cash, inside job all day
>Stolen white work van ass-end-first
through the back wall of a weed emporium<
...Give it time.
Yep, just like the countless ATMs in the city which are always hit right after they're filled with cash. What a coincidence, huh? would take a dummy not to see that these are all "inside jobs".
The Government though legalization and taxation is in direct competition with the gangsters. I suspect the gangsters will fight back gangster style.

Marijuana is the States problem not the Federal Government. There is no legal Marijuana for the Fed so no controlled substance DEA number, no bank, no credit card, no FDA regulation, no nothing, no nada!
Business in maryjane are on their own from money to protection and screening of product.
Business beware, buyer beware.
As far as crime Chicago has the built in infrastructure of corrupt criminality from bosses to judges to States Attorney. Out West Colorado, criminal infrastructure is not as sophisticated as ChiChalkie!
P4 security pays a whole $25 hr to the retirees that work these dumps, and they have contracts at a lot of these dispensaries.
I would want to own a dispensary at Pulaski and Madison. I would have many cameras and charge people by the minute to watch. Would Become the #1 show on day one.
Street corner dealers will be charged with operating without a License and Tax evasion. This is Illinois. The Fat Man must be paid.
Making all that money, you would think they would invest in a really good safe. Or did the key card holder have the combination to that as well.

Have you seen who the department is hiring with their “lowering standards”? I had a ppo in 022 tell me about all the ecstasy & drugs he did growing up .
$200K in untraceable cash! Hell, this is way better than a bank robbery. And they knew it.
What might you get when robbing a bank, a few G's? And no gun either, plus risk of being shot.
No dope, but to hell with the dope, which would you take? Cash is a lot easier to carry.
This one bucks the tide of "doper common sense", like an old saying which once said "dope will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no dope"! LOL
Oh well, sucks to be them I guess.
A little initiative goes a long way in Chicago.

Yeah. Marked Bills. You record the serial numbers of the bills and store the list separate from the cash. If the cash vanishes, you report the list of numbers to the "insert agency here' and they send the list to area banks
Now. Thats the theory.
So you've either never seen a damn cop show..or you're not a LEO. Cause they did the Marked Money bit in one of the last Batman movies. And I seem to recall that Narc Units use marked/traceable cash for buys.

There is a product on the market that can be used for instant Drug Testing for Marijuana (THC) from Amazon (no surprise there right?)
12 pack box: $9.46 per box + tax
Easy@home
Here's the problem, for those of you that have never toked.
First use or Regular user...
Urine tests can detect marijuana in the urine for approximately 3–30 days after use.
Saliva tests can detect marijuana for approximately 24 hours after use. Some saliva tests have detected marijuana for up to 72 hours.
Hair tests are the most sensitive tests, detecting THC for up to 90 days after use. However, these tests are testing the oil in skin that transfers to hair, and so they may occasionally show a false positive. A person who comes into contact with a THC user could, theoretically, test positive on a hair test.
Blood tests can only detect THC for 3–4 hours.
You have to be able to "reasonably articulate your suspicion' that the vehicle operator is in fact intoxicated with THC products.
Smelled like pot isn't going to b good enough anymore
