Go on you tube. I guy on there shows how you can build your own Tesla home battery for very little.
here, they would stake out the house until someone shows up, the penalties here usually are both fines and imprisonment. They charge something like 100 bucks an ounce for taxes on mj they confiscate.
and thats why i said "we dont all live in "lock em up "Merica"".
Merica is the worst place in the world to live,.......... except for all the other countries.

Shit now im worried bout my 20 days a quarter bills for the last 12 yrs
Just about all the news reports of stolen power are only found out from raids or drug investigations from snitches or known growers not the power stolen first
No they don't. My friends cousin work in the loss prevention department for National grid. I had a long conversation with her about this. They NEVER go after home owners for stolen electric, usually not even small businesses, they go after major companies. It wasn't worth the legal costs to go after someone who mos likely dosen't have anything to go after. Only time they got involved in small time stuff was when LEO contacted them.
Very, very different here, you try that and the power company will come after you big time. They even have a phone number printed on the monthly bill to call to report people stealing power. here is the exact quote from the utility bill.
How dumb is your utility company? They read the meters every 30 days here. Your utility must be dumb as rocks, lol!
Yeah there's that number on our bills too, again, they only go after businesses. Calls about private residences aren't investigated, they don't even report to LEO, not worth their time. You're talking about a multi hundred million dollar a year company, they aren't going to waste effort to recoup a few million in stolen electric by multiple homeowners when they could get a that as a single payout from one company stealing power. This is all straight from one of the admins of loss prevention. I can't see other major power companies having much different policy.
Most around here only read every 60-90 days, the bills between readings are usually just averages from previous months/billing cycles. My father used to record the meter every month so he could dispute any bills during those periods. Afaik, that's fairly common across the US. It'd be nearly impossible to read EVERY meter EVERY month without a ridiculously large workforce.
