This is really wierd. This was the last of 44 homes I built in St George. It was my home! I left it in 2002 to go rv'ing. Over 5000 sq ft with 4 garages and this happens to it. I guess it is going on out there everywhere. Rich

This even comes with a video!

The electricity could have been bypassed just the indoor marijuana farmers do it. I saw photos of one REO where marijuana was being grown indoors. The electric meter was bypassed so that the power company would not notice the huge amount of power being consumed by the growing lights.

Anyway, they had broken a hole through the basement concrete foundation near the electric meter. The power lines coming from the electric company had insulation exposed. Then automobile jumper cables were connected by clamping them from the exposed conductors to an electric panel.
