Would I? No. Dad was a lineman for the Toledo Edison, but he did a 6 month stint as the guy who shuts off the juice if the bill hasn't been paid. He chose to go back up the poles instead of going to homes of the these types of people to shut off the power. He told Mom that there would usually be a large TV, a expensive new car in the drive, and barefoot children sitting on bare floors in January. He would then go back to the office and tell the boss that he couldn't disconnect the power because nobody was home.
Dad was the most honest guy I have ever known!
