Santa Cruz Man Steals Electricity To Grow 132 Marijuana Plants

According to Santa Cruz County Police, a man Stephan Fisher, has been stealing electricity and water to grow 132 marijuana plants in his basement. Sgt. Steve Carney states: "His power bill was like $40 a month when it should have been $1,000 a month."


How did the pothead do this? He switched his meter with a dummy meter stolen from a construction site and the extra energy didn't register.


Now, before you start scouting construction sites in your area, I found out this is illegal. Yeah, it broke my heart too. Dammit.
