The answer is simple. The electric company refuses to provide service to that location. Or, installs a tamperproof cover over the meter, relocates the meter up on the pole, or installs a new electronic meter. They can also go by historical use data for that property and sue the customer for it.

Not always. I can cite where a customer drilled hole in electric meter glass to allow an object to be inserted to prevent disk from spinning. Case presented to district attorney. No prosecution. Same customer did same thing with water meter later on. Same result with district attorney - no prosecution. Go figure. Chuck WB2EDV ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
