****. Someone broke the seal on the power meter and removed it then?
That alone scores a felony in some places. Someone obviously had to
take the time to disconnect the wires from the pole to the main panel
as well as disconnect water/sewage lines too. Nobody got fined into
near oblivion for this? I'm surprised.

His wife had her family hook up to it and drag it off. Now as it
could only happed in real life, they devoiced, about a year later
got married again. Back in that mobile home. This time he got
someone with a torch to cut the hitch off of it.

Funny yet sad thing about marriage. Depending on the laws in your
state, wife can do whatever she likes to mutual property as can you.
Er, except from removing power/water lines, that is. Power
company/water company tends to get ****y when the average joe goes
messing around like that.

I'm surprised (unless people in the family work for power/water
companies? and even then, wasn't proper) nobody got in any trouble
for disconnecting the power/water and sewage lines prior to moving
it.

This was out in the county so probably on a well and septic system. In
this area the home owner/electricians can pull the meter and even put it
back in. Just call the electric company and tell them about it. As
this was over 25 years ago, the mobile home may have just plugged into a
socket.
