I've been working with a team at work to find lost meters. These are meters that have been put somewhere and are transmitting a read, but we don't know where it is or who to bill for the usage.
We have this black box that 1. picks up the meter's signal and 2. looks like a bomb. The black box will send the signal to our laptops. The laptops have to run on batteries... So they usually die midday. Even better, we have three PSE cars in one area doing this.
We've been out twice and haven't found shit. We went out today and weren't having any luck. Part of our group went to one of our service centers to use the bathroom and wash up. My group went to buy lunch. When we got back they said they had picked up a really good read on two meters we were looking for.
So, after lunch we went and combed the lot. We found one meter hooked up and in service on our property... We found the other with a pile of other meters that were in a bin. We went through the pile and made it so the meters wouldn't transmit.
Later in the day, after finding another lost meter, we were going to return to the office. That is, until we got a call saying the building was on lock down because of a suspicious person there. There was a dude who was dressed all in black with a trench coat, hoodie and a ski mask on. After the police were called and the building people were summoned, we found out the dude had a skin condition which made him need to wear that kind of clothing.
