Sacramento, Cali. - 63-year-old Donald Treloar was sleeping in a tent next to the medical marijuana garden he grows in the back of a Sacramento home, when he got the wake-up call of his life.

Treloar says two men, guns drawn, told him and his two 60-year-old roommates to get on the ground. The robbers used duct tape to keep them in place. When they asked for money, Treloar said they had none.

Treloar says one of the men took his dog into the bedroom and wrapped her in the bedspread. That's when they went for the marijuana.

“They took the pot plants because the guy said ‘I'm not leaving without something.’ So they come out here and yank 6 of them up,” he says.

The lush green plants, all of which are legally grown with medical marijuana licenses, are worth about 24,000 dollars on the street, but only when they're ready to harvest. Treloar says the stolen ones were not - but he wasn’t about to tell that to the men with the guns.
