That is true. Some states are very different than the East coast in law.

One day I discovered my neighbors were stealing my cable tv by splicing into my lines. I disconnected them. Week later they had reconnected. I disconnected again. They reconnected. Third time I disconnected them, I wired a 240v line to their old junction, knowing that if they attempted to reconnect it would blow up all of their electronics. Sure enough, the next night I hear a loud bang. Every tv in their house basically fried itself. One of them caught fire, they had to call the fire department, whom, upon learning of the cause of the fire called police. But only after a pretty sizeable portion of their home was destroyed. Police spoke with me, I told them what I did, and they laughed their asses off. For old measure they arrested the husband, no idea on hat charge. The house was declared unsafe by the FD and razed. They moved, a developer bought the land and built a SFH in its place. New neighbors are nice.
To each his own I guess.
it's a lovely story, especially for people who have POS as neighbors because makes them dream. but it is very hard to believe, especially the part where you told the police what you did and the police pat you on the shoulder laughing. you created a potentially life threatening hazard fully knowing that it was likely the neighbors were going to connect again, basically setting up a trap for them that could have killed somebody and that did a lot of damage to the point of having the house condemned. I don't know what jurisdiction this was, but I find strange that you were not held responsible for the damages and put in jail.
This is an urban myth. IRL you would face charges of endangerment.

I guess I keep wondering if you actually first knocked on their door to tell them to stop splicing in and warn them you would call the police if they did it again? Seems like a simpler solution.
My mother always gets into fights with her neighbors, doing passive aggressive things to them, because of things they do that bother her. I never understand why she doesn't go to their house like a grown up and ask them to please stop or find a solution together. If they ignore reasonable requests, then go to plan B.

Ah, that explains it. Totally believable.

This is a bullshit story. If you really put 240V on a coax cable connection you would have gone to jail. That is a life threateningly dangerous thing to do.
Troll.
+1. Having a hard time believing the FD and PD would laugh that off.
Agree. I don't think this person knows anything about electrical lines and cables. Someone is bound to be electrocuted if they attempt to do this.
