Man, it would have been better to just step on a pop top.

Rewiring: I work for the electric company, and it never ceases to amaze me how people think stealing power will keep them from getting caught doing somethign they shouldn't. Like your neighbors won't notice that their electric bill went up 500% right around the time you brought home those greenhouse lights for your guest room. Note to home pot growers -- that's usually how you get caught.

Patty -- from the elec company. The neighbor will get a refund for the wrongly charged bill. As to the shotgun - a guy I used to date slept with a huge knife under his pillow. He pretended he was so tough (did kempo and was obsessed with knives), but obviously he was terrified to sleep alone. ONce I found the knife, I assure you, he continued to sleep alone.
