Jim Miller Utility Quotations

At each place, they represented themselves as utility workers who wanted to inspect the two women's homes. At one house, money (totaling $115) was taken from a cash box inside the woman's bedroom. But they didn't get anything from the other house because the other lady followed them around.

It's a rarity that workers would show up unannounced. Customers usually initiate a phone call to set up an appointment, or a phone call (by the utility company) is usually made beforehand.
