I've thought of either:
A: Steal it as he's hardly gonna go to the police is he?
B: Blackmail him for a share of the cash?
C: Trade him for a few nights with his wife?
I can't think of any others, though I would like a new telly.

As you know, I am a great proponent of blackmail. It works so well in so many situations.
So don't steal it. That's cowardly. What does his wife look like? If she's really hot, then work it into the deal. If not, don't bother (unless you've been particularly lonely lately).
Before you do anything, take pictures and video. Preferably with him in them. Gives you something to work with. Then I would probably make him cut you in on a share of both the profits and the product. And just so there are no hard feelings (people who are blackmailed tend to get cranky), offer to water the plants while he's on vacation. You could also offer collect his mail & bring in the newspapers.
EDIT: Mr. Eck, I stand in awe.

The only solution to such a predicament is, I would have thought, blindingly obvious, but I'll spell it out all the same.
Your neighbour is obviously a drug dealer, and as such will be armed to the teeth. He won't go to the police to complain if you rip him off, he will however waste you in a drive-by shooting which also takes out a 15 year old passer-by, variously described in the media reports of her death as "popular", "full of potential" and "going far". Your first priority, therefore, is to take him out. Once this is done (any semi-automatic weapon should suffice) the rest falls into place. Form a workers' cooperative with your neighbour's grieving widow to prevent her from squealing to the rozzers. Then, after holding healing workshops to reduce the tensions between you and clean the tell-tale carbide desposits from your skin, you need to harvest your plants and produce finest quality hemp clothing and interior decoration products, which you will hawk round festivals such as the Big Chill at nose-bleedingly high profit margins. The spirit of freedom and general hippy vibe that you encounter at the festivals will, despite your naked free-marketeering, enable you to see that your need for television is a transitory want in a meaningless world. Problem solved.

If you benefit from the illegal action of your neighbour, you become an accessory to that illegal action in the eyes of the law. That means that you would run the same risk of fines or jail as your neighbour. So you should either grow your own and get all the profit, report to the police, or mind your own business.
From experience, minding my own business tends to lessen the likelihood of unfortunate encounters with thugs that want to play baseball with my kneecaps.

Do all three. Steal it, he may ask you if you saw anything suspicious going on. Wait till he grows more, blackmail him for money and his wife when ever the whim takes your fancy. and with the extra cash from the blackmail, and pimping his wife out you could get a big flat screen plasma tv!! woo hoo!!

If it is not bothering you at all, no traffic due to dealing, etc. I wouldn't say anything at all. What's the difference if this guy is growing tomatoes or cannabis? It's his property. Just because I don't do it doesn't mean I care if other people do, nor would I ever turn someone in.

I need your exact location, and a timetable of your neighbour's habits. Are there any dogs? If so, breed and weight (so I can calculate correct dosage.) Security lights, sensors? And, most important -- When will the buds be mature, w/in a few days plus or minus?

I think you shouldn't mess with him .. Where there is cannabis there is somone with a weapon ready to get you for being so nosy. Now I don't wanna be reading about you in the news now. Just leave that alone and get on with your life. There are much bigger things to be worried about than plants.

That explains why his tortoise didn't see that Flymo coming, it'd probably been grazing on his stash.
I'd take him round a big plate of Findus Crispy Pancakes and a bottle of vodka, you'd be in for a good night.
