But the growing <br />number of solar panels being installed on roofs of government buildings, private <br />businesses and homes are becoming a hot commodity in a way many say they didn't <br />expect. East Bay law enforcement has been seeing a number of solar panel thefts. One <br />industry expert said it was an uncommon crime, but there was a brief spree of thefts six <br />weeks ago throughout the Bay Area....... She said another possibility is that they're being <br />used by marijuana growers. Other thefts include St. Anselm's Episcopal Church in <br />Lafayette, which was hit twice in the spring...... <br />http://www.insidebgyarea.com/localnews/ci 1033 7819 <br />SANTA ROSA: POLICE CATCH FOUR OF FIVE MEN STEALING <br />MARIJUANA PLANTS <br />SANTA ROSA (BCN) / Tue, 09 Sep 2008 22:45 <br />Four alleged gang members were arrested in Santa Rosa today after they were observed <br />stealing 23 marijuana plants, police said.
