mimifantasia87 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I had my gas meter stolen yesterday afternoon 26th August around 2pm - 6pm - Hindmans RoadHas anyone else had this happen to them or similar? my meter was situated outside my front door so they had access to it.Just want to warn others if your meter is outside, make sure the door is locked and just keep an eye out.

Cyclemonkey Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 You need to call your gas distributor asap. How on earth did they get it off without causing a lot of damage and more importantly why on earth would anyone want it?

ratty Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 People want this to set up illegal supplies, usually on houses converted into lots of smal studio flats without planning permission. It is extremely common and in fact a London wide task force is being set up to identify and address these rogue landlords.

soyamocha3 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Never heard of this. Must say it is extremely worrying, especially from a safety point of view and bearing in mind how man people have external gas meters, they can have their pick! Whatever next!
