Near to me are several areas of 1930's houses where the electricity supply is overhead - The cables run along the eaves of the houses with connections dropping to the meters. Several houses have had rear extensions and it appears that the cables continue along their previous route - through the roof space of the extensions.
It got me wondering if there are many instances of people using this distribution method to obtain free electricity. Obviously they would need to pay for some otherwise it would arouse suspicion.
One house I used to drive past had 2 x 500 watt spotlights shining onto his white van all night - a good case for a bit of free juice!
Anyone work for an Electricity Supplier who has experience?
