Electricity theft

[Pjd]

Morning everyone.
New to this forum.

I have a dilemma, been working as sub contractor for builder for 6 months and he has now given me a job working on a private estate like property in Ascot, problem is it wasn't half an hour and I figured out the owner had someone from UK Power network.
When I raised the issue with builder I was told I did not know what I was talking about and not to mess with client as he always gets what he wants. (To be honest client is a very rich thug)
At the moment he has a 40kw swimming pool heater running 24/7 on this supply, he wanted me to add tennis court lighting, 2 bed annex, games room with bar, dressing rooms and gym, newly erected offices, jacuzzi, large pond with pumps and equipment using approx 10kw.
I have already decided to withdraw from site which knowing the builder will affect other jobs I am busy with for him.

Anyway my question is should I report him?
:ninja:

Do the job your paid to do and if your moral compass is telling you to report do it in a few weeks anonymously

How did my first post within this thread get deleted? Am I right in thinking there is a thread fairy here?

The powers that be have decided that they can delete or alter your posts without explanation...

They are doing a job and a good job at that, it stops the spam and some of the more crap post and keeps this place going with out two much trouble, as for OP just do job, take pics, get paid, then two mouths later grass him up at lest then it will not come back on you and you will still be getting work in no one will think it was you and you can walk down street without having to look over your shoulder

Me personally, well I feel realy sorry for the poor little energy supply company. I mean what sort of monster would steal from these wonderfully careing and moralistic companies. Its beyond belief, I think Im going to cry its so sad......:19:

Just do the work and take ya money.

Wait a minute, its people like that, that make yours an mine energy bills going through the roof.!!

 

[pitkin2020]

Zebra what a ridiculous comment, do you really think the energy companies just write it off??
They are business like any other that is there to make a profit, if they lose in one area from theft they'll add it elsewhere I.e everyone else's bill

Surely the guy will be fined for stealing if he gets caught.

Energy bills are high because people are greedy at the end of the day.

Let me tell you, we have persistent offenders, not much happens the suppliers don't want the publicity!!

Suppliers "guesstimate" most people's usage fairly accurately so surely which such a "mansion" the consumption would look low and need looking at??

Yes they will, but if an bypass is found its a slapped wrist not much more, don't want to say to much 4 time's still no prosecution .
