refrigerated meter?

I've also heard you could probably do something with magnets near your electric meter.

(I read this from some "get even with someone" book where it said to prominently put magnets on the target's electric meter for the utility guy to find)

Magnet is very well known trick for workers, so you’ll get fined for that. Besides, it only worked with old meters.
