what's wrong with a couple of 6 inch nails, rubber gloves and a jump

Bit obvious when they come and read ... oh smart meter no need to
physically read it so they won't be sending a meter reader round as
that is expensive.

Currently isn't there a statutory requirement on the suppliers to
physically read the meter at least every six months? Wonder if that
will change if you have a smart meter and if it does how long before
they "voluntarily" start "reading" smart meters so they can spot such
obvious thefts...

I think it's every 2 years although I have seen that slip when met with,
"you can read it at 8am on the NNth, after that I will be out of the
country for 6mths", guess what, no visit and no more reminders.
