Cause they aren't looking for little suckers with their tiny operations but they will get pissed if they don't get their money from never mind who. Then they investigate and inadvertently will find a little-sucker-operation.
Isn't there some word for us little suckers like LSO= 250W - 2000W BAO = 2001W - SUN
So you're saying if you don't pay your bill the electric company will come look in your windows?
The only thing that would raise suspicion is if you are using more than 3x your neighbors and even then I doubt it.
My last house I lived in used a shit load of power (no growing), I had a hot tub, 3 fridges, kept the AC on all the time, and was running servers. My bill was about $600 a month and I know my neighbors was under $200 and no one questioned a thing whether I paid it on time or not.
