    How do I find the wires that my neighbor uses to tap my electricity?
    My electricity bill always is high when I have a neighbor proven on my bill and my electric company is lazy.

    Please HELP!

    He's stealing - that's a crime. Call the Police.

    Where are you located and how do you know your neighbor has tapped your power? If there is a tap it is after the meter and should be traceable.

    Contact you local building or electrical inspector, in addition to the local police, if you have PROOF that someone has tapped into your electrical system.

    You may need to hire an electrician to come in and find the wiring that may be connected to your system.
