Dan,

(name withheld) just happened to come across it and he said that meter's off and I confirmed out the account.
00:09
The account was disconnected.
00:12
Oh, sorry. I hit the button.
00:14
Go ahead and say that again.
00:15
Meter was off.
00:19
Yeah,
00:20
(name withheld) just happened to come across it.
00:22
He said he saw that the meter was off, and then,
00:25
but they got their lights on, and so I confirmed that in their account, it shows end of like 10, 22 of this year.
00:32
They've been turned off for non-pay, and so it looks like we just remote turned them off.
00:37
So, I mean, I can send EMO out there.
00:40
If you want them out, I guess I don't really know what the correct way to go about it is.
00:45
figured they could at least look at it.
00:47
Maybe we'd cut them at the poll, and I sent all the information over to the theft department and kind of see if they can take care of it or whatever's best.
00:58
I think they usually deal with theft more so than us.
01:02
They might want to put eyes on it if they need to take photos or recover a jumper device or whatever.
01:09
But then I could cut it at the poll, too, if that's what they wanted.
01:15
Okay, yeah, let me, I'll reach out to whoever we got doing late-time EMO and kind of see what their thoughts on.
01:23
Maybe I can get them to roll it that way, but I'll let you know.
01:27
Okay, I'm probably like 20, 25 minutes away, so no rush.
01:31
Thanks.
01:34
Hey, that's me, I'm on call you, Mo.
01:36
What's going on over there?
01:41
We're a neighbor on 25,
01:45
so that customers got power and, you know, I went and checked the meter and meters off.
01:51
I didn't open anything up or anything, but according to them, they dug it up somewhere and tapped into one of our lines, so I didn't have a chance to do that because I'm timed out.
02:07
I'm not supposed to be in trouble after (number withheld) unless the list is ran, so,
02:11
yeah, that's what you guys got.
02:16
Whereabouts is that, focus?
02:19
off Crystal Lake Road, off Whitehall Road, Florida Park in there.
02:25
It's lot 24.
02:28
I don't know if you want to police escort, but that might, I mean, I guess the guy, the old-timer next to me that told me about it was their crack house or whatever.
02:40
So I don't know if you guys want to get a cop escort, that might be a good thing.
02:47
Okay, you're talking to the trailer park on the west side of White Lake there?
02:52
Yeah, you got it.
