They do if you dont pay the bill.

They do a drive by shooting, killing the guy who didn't pay the bill,
or shooting holes in his transformer.......

(Oh, wait, that's only in Texas, and they dont drive by, they come on
horseback, or riding a bull. The rider is always wearing a BIG cowboy
hat.........)

On a more serious note, they drive by, then they stop an pull your
meter or the fuses at your pole transformer.


Actually they're working on remote controlled meters so they can remote
connect / disconnect in addition to remote reading.
