I'd like to hear some opinions on this subject.

1.) When the gas meter reader comes arround to take a reading, what would happen if:

a.) He smelled an odor
b.) He heard a buzzing noise
c.) Saw an orange colored light eminating from a wooden box
d.) Very little gas was used
e.) Nobody ever home

2.) What about the electric company when they read the meter outside ?

a.) Condensation on the windows
b.) The meter was spinning at a high rate of speed
c.) The bill was 20% or greater than previously

3.) The water department:

a.) Greater than 15000 gallons of water was used in a given quarterly
billing cycle
b.) A constant flow of water displayed on the meter

Is this hypothetical or what? For all intents and purposes, if you pay the bill why would any one really care? Does any one believe that utility companies are tasked with drug enforcement also? The meter readers prolly do not make more than 13 bucks an hour, would they really care? Hell, thats the best pot smoking job there is. Smoke a joint, and go read meters. Could it get any better?
 
simple as this.
dont let him in.
i had plants growing in the cubard where the gas and ele meter is.
and when they come, i say i have a dog that went in there to have pupies and it will bite you if you go near her.
then ill say ill get the reading for you. or come back when the pups are ready in a few months, and they let you get the reading, or just leave a form to fill in.
but now, i just ring them and tell them we are away a lot.
and you can fill in your meter reading on line or over the phone.
 
just make sure,if he does come dont answer the door and hell just leave a form for you to update.
and all the other probs, try to sort them so you never get cought
 
Yeah whether its a hypothetical situation or not. most people probable don't care enough to go threw all the trouble of busting you as long as your paying your bills on time. that being said, I would still try to conceal your grow as best you can since you can never be to careful.
 
Ive had the power company call my home about my electric useage,i had 6 1,000 watt hps, 2 1,000 watt mh,4 florescents,dehumidifier & all the related fans & blowers going plus the electric useage from living in the home,my bills were fukin massive but always paid as soon as they came in the mail.

I told them i kept reptiles with heat rocks,they didnt buy it,before long they had assholes dressed up like meter readers (cops) around my house lookin at my meter once a week,like i wouldnt notice them :rolleyes:.

A friend of mine,who was a sanatation supervisor with the city at the time called me up & told me that the police requested that my garbage be picked up every week on time in a regular garbage truck, but to be kept seperate in the back of the truck then transfered a few blocks away to a city owned pick up drove by a cop.

This was about 20 years ago when humans handeled everything,nowdays all billing is done by computer automatically.
 
give then no reason to even come, just pay.
they are there to make money.
must say.
my dad is never at home, and his bills are nothing, and the ele,gas co's. have changed his meters 3 times, cos they think.
somone cannot use that less power.
if it was too much, they would be happy.
they are there to make money, not lose.
dont give them reason to see what your doing, and they will just take the money you owe and carry on.
business is business.
 
I live in a single family house. So, by what everyone is saying here, that means if I convert one bedroom into a veg room and the other into my flowering room and run some 600's 1000watt lights, fans, blowers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, etc should I worry if I use that much electricity? Would it raise flags and cause me to be investigated by the authorities? Lately I've been trying to use as much electricity as I can to get my usage statistics up and my grow is real easy to tear apart at this stage.
I'm just leaving it all on. Lights, TV's, stereos, doing lots of laundry, computers always on with two monitors attached and always running, my grow lights of course(830watts 12/12) my clones are under two 4 foot shoplights (40 watts each 24/0), baking alot, microwaving alot, running back yard floods 24/7, anything that can be on is! I'm kinda getting used to this lifestyle. What do you all think?

Sounds like they were on to you well before the electric company ever called.
 
...utility companies do cooperate with police. police use FLIR...

but what is most important is that you do not tell anybody!
