Favorite ways to steal electricity
I live and work in Metro Detroit, one of the more interesting cities in which to work on houses. I've been recording the ways in which people (often squatters) turn on the electricity without a meter. Thought I would share one of my favorites, 12 penny nails. Anyone else have some good ones?

Re: Favorite ways to steal electricity
Enough to run a George Foreman grill and a Fry Daddy.
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing is worth a war, is worse. A man who has nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance at being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." - John Stuart Mill

After installing a new meter can, we've jumpered it with madison hangers until the POCO installed the new meter.
