Cutting through the wall in apartments and hooking on to their

Note: I wouldn't do it.

Yes, the wall which one apartment shares with the adjoining apartment
carries both lines for both apartments. They just used a tool to find
the live line though the sheet rock, then cut though a hole and
installed an additional outlet ... all the adjoining neighbor knew was
that their electric bill suddenly went up!

How I finally found out is when I started seeing electric bills on empty
apartments and the PG&E wanted me to pick up the tabs. That is when I
got suspicious and found reason to work on the adjoining apartments and
see what was up ... it took some doing ... they had stuff hiding the
extra outlets, wanted a few days before they let me in, etc.

In one apartment building I had, two adjoining apartments were using
each others electricity! Apparently, word on how to do this goes around
VERY QUICKLY! I think I was one of the last to find out, actually ... :-(

I worked in a building where the building next door was taking power for
about half the building for about 40 years! They were owned by the same
people back then, and apparently, nobody told the next two owners the
power was "shared". One day the electricians came in to redo the main
service as it was very old and needed to be upgraded, and they thought
they had cut the power to the whole thing and then the guy who owned the
restauant next door comes out and asks why his power is partly off. He
shouldn't have said anything. The owner of the building I worked at
ended up taking about a $20K guesstimate of the power his ovens and
coolers, and other stuff had used for the last 12 years off his
building..that guy cooked a lot of chicken in those big electric
roasters.
