Yeah... the guy basically turned himself in. I guess at 91, he could care less

that guy gets my vote as coolest old guy just because he's been doing this for how many years now,and he probably got so senile that he forgot he was doing it, that's great

That's gotta be another Darwin Award
call customer support for something you're stealing...lol

And the moral of the story here children is: When are you stealing something, don't call the company you are stealing from to complain when it stops working.

I think I'm not uderstanding something here... he is charged with $82000 in theft, but the statute of limitations only allows them to prosecute for the past 7 years... so his theft in electricity was almost $12K/year?!

Clarence Stucki is charged with stealing about $82,000 worth of power -- but officials from Logan Light and Power said Stucki admitted tapping into the line as far back as the 1940s, so the total is likely much higher.

Ron Saville, the power company's director, said Stucki has been using power for free roughly since World War II. But the statute of limitations prevents Stucki from being charged beyond seven years of theft.

I think they thought it was like 80K for the whole time, not just the past seven years.

Bonk102, I'm ROTFL!

Also, keep in mind, it was an apartment building. If everyone in my apartment building (only 8 units) uses about the same amount of electricity as I do, our building uses cluse to $12,000 a year.

[EDIT: Oh, wait. It says it's only 3 apartments. That IS a lot.]
