Virgil,
I'm glad you were awake enough to notice that this was still energized.
Good ole Allegheny Power. If you don't know exactly the right person to talk to, you're likely to hear any kind of story. What more can I say.
If you run across a meter with a yellow seal, it means insulators have been inserted in the meter stabs. This is frequently done when there is a temporary shutoff of power, either for non-payment or at the request of the customer. if it is long term, they'll pull the meter.
