Why don't people who suspect electric theft switch the outlet to 220 volt?? A few burnt out appliances should teach them.

I would put a transformer on the outlet and make it must higher than 220.

I always turn off my outside electric and water hookups from inside the house when I'm not using them. An engineer should be able to figure out how to do that. Great stories, Ripe. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

an engineer would know the breaking strength of a extension cord if he decided to use it as a tow strap

HOA why? why would anyone want to let such a group have ANYTHING to say about our homes?

Why would you buy and own your own home and then sign over governing how it should be managed to someone else who can then give you fines and even for changes to YOUR property? Anyone who does that are stupid.

Stealing electricity is a crime, a felony in some jurisdictions.

First story is very poor fantasy. So many holes in the plot. The length of her extension cord would be amazing.

Because of my heart problems I can only take Tylenol for my pain right now. For me every day is a painful day. Yet it is nowhere as bad as others. NO matter how bad I think I have it there is always someone who has it worse than I do!

He really must be proud of being an engineer? I have a degree in Marine Engineering but dont introduce my self as an Engineer. We all were something of a sort.

I think what is very odd was your electric meter spinning rapidly without any additional loads hooked up. The other odd thing mentioned was what did she intend to plug the other end of the extension cord into.

Yes, he has five ac. She must have had a REALLY long e cord.

Stolen Electricity... As an engineer, it would be easy for you to verify that the external outlet is on a dedicated fuse / circuit breaker. When leaving the cabin to return to the city, simply disconnect the exterior outlets. The miscreant would have to break into the house in order to steal your power. Alternatively you could put a secondary meter on the outside outlet circuit and shut it off during the week while you are not in residence. Any tampering to reconnect and you would have a record of the power stolen and you could charge the Karen for the theft. and recoup your losses.

2:55 this is why outdoor outlets should have a cutoff switch when you are not using them.

Good point, also pulling that much current through an extension cord would burn it up. Even 10 gauge has limits.

Unhook all outside outlets.

With how everyone knows about HOAs I can't believe people move into them.

As we all know these stories are purely allegorical, however what idiot would have a live external socket in a property that was only used at weekends. Any sensible person would have a breaker switch inside the cabin that would isolate the external socket.

1:00)Another version of the old power and water thefts. Outside power thefts can be stopped by a switch thrown to off. He had electrical remodeled. Fuses can be removed. I have suggested inside shutoffs to stop water theft.

he should of put the outdoor outlet on its own breaker and could shut it off when not in use

She comes over and basically screams at the guy for a violation that can easily be seen to be false if she would just look at the dog that was in fact on a leash in someone’s hand, then says You could just say thank you!” THANK YOU FOR WHAT?!!!

You forgot to have her vehicle towed and impounded.

If you want to keep that from happening again you can put a switch on the inside that will turn the plug off so no one can ever do that again

Huh? I have over 30 outside outlets including well, chargers and security systems. One Plug? Fifteen amp on an extension cord? Come up with something believable!

The HOA grill "revenge" one was crazy - kill them with kindness... stay calm and you'll win...

Where i'm from, water and electricity companies take utility theft VERY serious, if someone tries to hook into your water/power, like this Karen, all you need to do is give them a call and they will join in legal actions against the thief.

How long was that extension cord given the fact he said he had 5 acres?

I had severe keto acidosis. The untrained paramedics had me walk to the amvullance and documented it. I eventually ended up intensive care. I did complain. Yes, the paramedics did receive training.

Never mess with a engineer

Oh yeah 🤣😂😁 Some awesome stories.... although steal my electricity in the back water and get buried where your corpse shall NEVER be found...😇☠️

So you are familiar with the electricity and meter? Then, what made the meter spin rapidly that evening if she didn’t have the extension cord plugged in until the next day? Hmmm?

Outside outlets are on breakers that can be turned off. Flip the breaker off and wait for them to figure out why the outlet breaker tripped.

I know some HOAs can be a pain, but not all. I live in an HOA. It mostly maintains the signs at the entrances to the subdivision.

This story doesn't make sense. The cord doesn't come from her suv. There has to be a very long cord or wire to her place.

They are all good, but the last one was illarious funny

This first story seems off to me. 1) Why would the lights be brighter than normal at the author's approach? With no illegal hookup at the time, they should be the same as usual. 2) Why would the meter be spinning more rapidly than normal at a time when the thief was not currently stealing power? They only spin faster when more electricity is drawn, not after or before. Since the thief hadn't hook up yet, the spin should be normal. I may be wrong, but this doesn't seem to add up.

Additional power usage does not effect the brightness of the bulbs in the first place.

what happened to karens SUV towed or did it stay were parked

Trying to be specific over a difference in BBQing and grilling so you can grill out despite it being against HOA bylaws is just trying to be a jerk. Then finding a loophole to grill out just outside of HOA property was another jerk move. How about just read the bylaws before buying the house in HOA territory and if you can not live by that then move somewhere else. They were wrong in reference to the dog, but OP was also wrong.

uh lady the police can and will do something about you you thief

Seems the HOA people and the police didn't know op wasn't in the HOA boundaries. Seems before the police officer gave their speech, they would have made sure op was an HOA member. Those of the HOA sure didn't know where the HOA boundary was located. How hard is it to see a dog on a leash and the leash being geld by a person? The police in the last story should have given Karen several timeouts without being asked by the people treating the man. They actually should have arrested her after the first time hindering the man's treatment. She also doesn't know the difference between a first aid course and the courses EMTs and paramedics attend. They learn how to determine when a person with a head wound can be allowed to walk or when they need to be placed on a gurney, training not received in a first aid course.

Bbq is not 12+ hrs. Grilling is also bbq. Get your facts right

On the first story since her car was on OPs property it would be towed and impounded costing her even more money to get it out if at all. Oh and of corse the story is fake. How is one to transport electricity for one's home in a SUV? It's not like gas that can be stored in a gas can. And any batteries that could store any real amount of power would be extremely expensive where paying the electric bill would be far cheaper. The second story is fake also. So many things about the story that is not actualy viable.

Yeah, that was my question, I could see maybe if she was a next door neighbor and the house was really close, but what could she have been powering in her SUV that'd take that much power? Did she have a chest freezer or something in the trunk? Would just charging all her devices or whatever use all that power? Also, he said the meter was spinning rapidly when he checked it, which wouldn't that mean that she was currently plugged in when he checked, and yet he had to do a stake out to catch her plugging stuff in?

@SCP_BrightAlt what part is incorrect? a super long extension or being 'off the grid'? Off the grid means you are not dependent on utilities that charge you. Being hooked up to a meter means he is paying someone for that electricity.

I keep seeing on these videos about "calling cop". Are they dialing 267 ("cop" on the phone pad)? If "911" or another emergency service is meant, please specify it.
