Someone getting free cable

[ Edited ]

OK what would you do if you knew of someone that is getting free cable, by somehow hooking into a neighbors cable?

Many people including us,  are struggling to make ends meet yet we   pay our bills including our cable bill.

 

I would never do anything illegal to get free cable and it is Stealing .  The thing also is these people throw money away all the time on things like going to auctions and buying collectibles.  But they boast about their free cable.

 

Would you report this  to cable company or just let it be?

Is the person they are stealing it from aware it's being done?

I believe there is a reward if you report it

Let it be. It's really not your business to police your neighbors. It will get discovered eventually.

Stealing is stealing, I would report it.

I bet those 13 kids abused by their parents all of their lives would disagree with that.

@peace6576 Good advice.  With all the gun violence these days, it’s not worth getting shot after he finds out it was you.

I would definately report it to the cable company.  This is what's happening in the country today.  No one wants to get involved.  That's how these people are getting away with this type of stealing. Just do the right thing.

Re: Someone getting free cable

Many Years ago we did that with a neighbor because these were summer homes that we visited two months of the year on weekends or for our two week vacations.We had to pay for a full year at that time.We did it for a couple of years and then quit as it was still too expensive even splitting the bill for that short time period.
