My Brother Tampered With My Gas Meter When I Was Out Of Town-What Will the Gas Co Charge Me?
Hello Everyone.
My family and I went out of town for two weeks, leaving my two brothers here to house sit. We had just moved two days before….On a Friday. Gas Service was scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, as this was the soonest open date. My brothers decided to turn it on anyway by breaking off the lock. Needless to say, Tuesday the Gas Co came to turn it on, and after seeing it had been tampered with, they turned it back off and put on another lock. When I got home, my brothers told me what happened. I called, told them the story, and asked what I needed to do to take care of it. They gave me an additional deposit, and a charge for the lock. I paid it, and they were scheduled to come turn it on Monday. I get home from work on Friday, and my brother tells me that he tried to take the lock off again, and broke the handle off. Great. Not only is he an idiot, but now I am going to be in even more trouble. I just want to know what to expect from them…this is two tampering issues in just a little over two weeks. I will tell them it was my brother, but that doesn’t make me any less responsible……..The home is mine, and the bill is under my name. I already kicked him and his girlfriend out…..but I am afraid of either having to pay a huge price, or not being able to get service. BTW, I live in Las Vegas NV.
Any help is appreciated. ALso, any ideas on how I can sufficiently kill my brother?? He is, after all, 36.
Thanks for your help.
