Well, I rarely plug myself, but I'm ohm now since circuit city was closed and a bulb went off in my head. Hope I don't have to move, since I thought my days of being transient were over, but the current economy is revolting. <br /><br />Okay, group groan.....

This happened last week.

He would be told that he must help to get the power restored. This is an appropriate punishment that he will help those states and families who are in desperate need of electrical workers.

Mr. Natale, being an experienced electrician, surely wouldn't risk a fire by making an improper bypass. Scare tactic by UI.

DERBY, Conn. Derby police say an electrical contractor used his expertise for no good. Andrew Natale, 45, was charged with larceny for allegedly bypassing his home's electricity meter and stealing about $13,500 worth of power dating back to 2003.

Natale posted $2,000 bail and is set to be arraigned Monday in Derby Superior Court. A message was left for Natale at his home Thursday morning.

Authorities said the arrest was the result of an investigation by police and the United Illuminating Co. They say a field worker discovered the problem.

UI spokesman Al Carbone said the illegal bypass was disconnected and reinstalled periodically. He said bypassing meters is dangerous and could cause electrocution or a fire.
