Don't Try This at Home, Kids

A German man who had his power supply cut off after not paying his bill, found a somewhat risky way to get reconnected.  He attached a cable to the meat hook, threw it onto the overhead power line and then drew power from the transmission line to his home, 150 metres away.

The man's scheme was only discovered after an employee of the utility company spotted the meathook during a routine check.  They commented in their typically humorous Teutonic manner:

"It's incredibly dangerous and utterly stupid.  It will kill you."
