My Neighbor Used My Electricity Without Permission\u2014Then Demanded Access to My Home<\/strong><\/p>\n

For two weeks, I kept finding an orange extension cord running from my neighbor\u2019s garage to my outdoor socket.<\/p>\n

When I confronted him, he shrugged. \u201cIt\u2019s only costing you a few cents.\u201d<\/p>\n

After he did it again, I installed a lockable outlet cover. Then a note arrived accusing me of shutting down the \u201ccommunity socket\u201d\u2014on my property.<\/p>\n
