A HELCO employee tried getting into our yard today by opening our front gate that is plastered with OSHA signage about how our working dogs may bite and to not even think about trying. We were working at the rear of the property and I could hear our dogs going ballistic, I bolted towards the gate when our Belgian Malinois's barking frequency went to a tone that he only uses when somebody is actually trying to get into our yard.
The "smart meter network" is down and the meter needed to be read manually. (Our old smart meter never had this problem).
I looked at the security video and he actually tried to open the gate (it was locked) with a malinois and a doberman putting on a full display.
While I was on the way from the back he did call the number on the account and explained he needed to read the meter, but I looked at the security footage and it wasn't until after he discovered the gate was locked.
So much for smart meters or smart employees.
