Two questions come to mind:
1. Is it my poor eyesight, or is that meter not properly locked? Looks like the swivel tab is not pushed down far enough for the wire lock to go through it.
2. Who is 'we', and do you have the authority to pull the meter?

Answer 1. No it was not properly locked, that is part of the reason "we" were there, they "the homeowner" was "borrowing" free electricity
Answer 2. "We" are the building inspection deptment of the Muncipality in which this amazing piece of work was located

What is not amazing is the poor quality of the work.
What is amazing is they actually thought no one would notice.
I hope you throw the book at 'em!

Although we all know these utility clips are only meant to keep honest people out.

Looks like the hasp is up but the lock ring goes through only the shackle.
Nice eyeballing the "transformer" there.

If that was the case I'd move to Ok and become an inspector.

Are you that guy in New York a few months back who had a rifle, was hiding behind a dumpster and left a small pile of scrap copper 30' in front of you? I think it was just before sundown.
