I’ve seen this first hand. They toss a wire up to a utility line, snag it with some type of claw, and run power to their makeshift house.

—”They toss a wire up to a utility line, snag it with some type of claw, and run power to their makeshift house.”

A friend had a milling machine in his garage but did not have the necessary power supply.

He made some hooks on poles to do the job.

Until one day he noticed some Edison employees walking the power lines.

They told him the newer equipment could quickly detect it to the nearest block and they were looking for illeagle taps.

They DID buy an EV, so what else was expected?
