Power Meter

A couple of weeks ago we evicted one of our tenants for failing to pay rent. She moved in a couple of trailers down with some friends, so we thought. We were later told that she was sneaking into the trailer at night to sleep. People saw lights on. My manager went down and pulled the meter. We haven't seen her since.

The next week we had someone that wanted to move in. The meter was replaced so they could have the power turned on. When the power company showed up we went over and told him what had happened. He checked the meter and found out that it had been stolen from one of my other trailers. The meter guy remembered going out to that trailer to reconnect the power and the meter was gone. She had stolen that meter and used it in her trailer. She is going to have to pay for the power on that meter and a stiff fine. I doubt she will ever get power in her name again. The meter guy gave us some tags and a blank filler panel to put in the electrical box if it happens again. It's incredible what some people will do.
