He breaks the seal of the meter - in the UK the meter reader would spot this immediately and you would get reported for fraud.

In Mexico, Builder paid a private Individual to wire his house at the time of construction to by pass the meter only allowing 25% of the power going thru the meter. the other 75% was redirected to a separate junction box, and this is 20 years later and the power companies never found any thing miss functioning. Would this be though shall not steel?

@gatornader as much as yours sounds like a decent experience, mine was the opposite. i was with a co-op for 20 years, they were the most expensive rude a-holes i ever dealt with. i went 10 miles down the road and my electric bill changed over 100 bucks a month cause i went with a different company..

@rcacad bingo, Its eligal to modify a meter... fines here include replacing the meter, so he just cost himself $2500 to $7500 dollar fine plus the replacement cost of the meter :-\
Funny all you need is external power to slow it down or... make it go backwards :-)
wind, solar... etc.. power comes from you through the meter they pay you lol

Not all power providers are "for profit". Electric Cooperatives provide power to areas unserved by Investor-Owned Utilities because they couldn't make a profit. When you steal power from a cooperative, you are stealing money from the rest of the membership of that cooperative. Stop with the "down with corporations" rationalization. You are stealing from your neighbors!
Tesla made free energy, the way it was meant to be.

@PhuckHue2 sad part is people that think like you. the electric company will always charge the most they can. The only thing saving us from big corporate business is competition and disobedience. It's business, they ALLWAYs want more profit.
