In reguards to the tamper resistant meter rings that PG&E(Pacific Graft & Extortion)uses in their service area,I had requested that that the service drop be removed so the mast could replaced (a limb fell on the triplex)and be ready for inspection on monday, this was fri. afternoon and the line crew left the ring on, I was so p***ed used a cutting torch (Hot wrench) to remove it,did not hurt the panel a bit. The meter was pulled due to the tenant setting the house on fire,leaving grease or cooking drugs on the range.
