Later that day, I decided to take things calmly. I said to my neighbor, "Look, I think you accidentally plugged your car into my outlet. Just so you know, the electricity goes through my meter." He downplayed the incident, saying, "It's just a small current," as if that excused anything. Not wanting to create any tension, I simply installed a small, lockable outlet cover: a simple and courteous measure that would prevent future incidents.
