Abstract: The problem of gas theft is an ever increasing one. Utilities throughout the United States, as well as all over the world, are finding their losses accelerating. Tampering - with the idea of getting something for nothing - has greatly increased unaccounted for gas problems in the 70s. The causes and possible solutions to gas theft will be the subject matter of this paper. Inflation, increased utility rates, and the energy crisis have all ted to enlarging the problem of gas theft. The cost of utilities has become increasingly a major part of the family budget- The public outrage at these increased costs to their budget has made the gas meter a renewed target for customer ingenuity and revenge. Many individuals and organized groups have rationalized that meter tampering and gas theft is a legitimate way to fight the establishment.
