I think it would be worth the effort to buy a broke down jacuzzi and or one of those 1200$ endless pools,
have them visible from the road. An abnormal elec. bill alone is not enough for a warrant but could get
him police attention. If they drive by and see those, they might not think anything.
Bro I don't mean to be hostile but the Po Po dont have the time, the inclination or the right to access your power records in the first place. After a tip or snitch sure. Then your fucked anyway.
It's all computerized these days. One of my family is a meter reader. He inputs the reading into a little palm pilot kinda thing then uploads to the main system and software calculates the account. Machines stuff the envelope.
He reads hundreds if not thousands of dials a week. He aint got the time to pay too much attention.
He did say that they do get briefed on grow houses and meter tampering/theft in their training though.
Dont steal power or overload your panel and pay the bill on time.
Ironically the only human to handle your actual bill is the postman when he is putting it through the mail slot.
