I hear you. I'm not sure what they do or don't care about. What I do know is that there is a contingent of cops that liase with DTE to look for electricity theft. What's to say they don't look for unusual energy usage, especially when it's for such a large amount?

While theft may not have been happening in this case, having a building of that size with what I'm sure was a bill in the 15K range, at least, is going to get you on the radar.
