B.C. Hydro finds Christmas lights, not grow-op

“At first they said I didn’t have enough acreage for another house. But I told them how many lights I had collected and [that I] was afraid I was going to blow something up and start a fire,” Versteeg says of first her call to the utility five years ago.

“Lady, no one has 20,000 lights,” was the reaction of an employee who suspected a marijuana grow-op and arrived to investigate.

As soon as I heard this law was passed wherein Hydro had to report inordinate power usage to the cops, this was the first thing I thought would happen. I suppose it’s an inevitability though. In order for them to actually catch real grow operations, there’s going to be a few innocent people caught in the mess here and there.
