Awhile ago I heard about a guy who stole power by using auto jumper cables attached to a tree pole pruner, jumping out the meter attaching directly to the copper uninsulated service line......
he had a tree shaded area to work..
bullshit! total bullshit Eric

Certainly tampering is one form of "problem" new digital meters are designed to detect. Almost any service issue can be detected, the level in your case would be, it would all depend on the level of sophistication of the particular meter design/manufacturer they went to. Unbalanced legs, low voltage, off-frequency, many neutral or ground problems all can be detected. Most of these use a wireless network or proprietary transmission protocol connection and either they use a mobile receiver and drive around to various locations to collect data from an area or have collection "stations" that then forward the data back to central office.
Some newer meter sockets are self-bypassing when the meter is unplugged. No interruption in service either. I was told this by the power company guy who was swapping out meters under load.
Taking notes?
:p
Who makes these? I haven't seen one yet.
That's down right shocking
Those guys make "Chump Change"
These gro-ops are a landlord's nighmare. Growing pot requires a lot of water that the plants then transpire. That results in high humidity and condensation on the walls, etc. There will be structural damage to the house, especially in houses that are built in localities with a long winter. Furthermore the chemicals used in the gro-op and along with the drug by-products will contaminate the house. A police bust will have it condemned as unfit for human habitation. That house will be a total loss and insurance won't pay for that.
It's like installing a fuse...plus isn't it just secondary power 120/240... Just don't ground when installing jumper...or between phases.

In the grow operation, if you know what you're doing you keep the temperature and the humidity in an acceptable range, and that range does not damaged houses is the same range that humans live in. Humidity between 45 + 55% and temperature between 72 and 84 degrees Fahrenheit. That does not damage a house. You are so full of shit.
That is called stealing.
The Eighth Commandment is recorded in Exodus 20:15: “You shall not steal.” The Bible describes many forms of stealing we must avoid.
To answer the question, it's not hard to bypass a meter without killing yourself. The hard part is making it so it's not visible, not detected and not getting caught.
