There was one that made the paper a few years back here in Windsor Ontario Canada.Apparently a family purchased an abandoned house that had outrages electrical bills.They complained to the poco for a few months but like everyone already said it's very rare for a meter to fail like this so they didn't believe him.Before they could come test the meter the special tactical unit showed up and kicked his door in looking for a grow op.Turns out a contract meter reader had turned them in.The write up in the paper said he forgot to lock the door before going to bed so he woke up staring up the barrels of quite a few automatic weapons and a bedroom full of cops in full assault gear.Can you imagine!They also said the poco was inundated with calls to check meters and that for a meter to fail like this is extremely rare.LOL
