Marijuana grower loses to robbers, then police
Source: Seattle Times

Mark Spohn, 48, called police after four men dressed like FBI agents burst into his home around 11 a.m., according to his attorney Douglas Hiatt.

During the robbery, Spohn and a group of assistants from a medical-marijuana education group were ordered to the floor at gunpoint, Hiatt said.

When Seattle police arrived at the home in the 3800 block of Wallingford Avenue North and found Spohn had more than the 15 marijuana plants allowed under state Department of Health guidelines, much of the grow was disassembled.

3. According to the article, Spohn had more than 100 plants,
so the cops took all but the 15 allowed by law. What was taken during the robbery by the 4 fake FBI agents?
