My wife and I downgraded our cable service to save a little money. We were paying about $45 a month and now we pay about $8 a month. The control box outside was not even locked and falls off when you bump it (careless). You might say a friend of mine knows a few things about cable t.v. We asked him to check it out -- you know, to make sure the box is on secure and the connections are sound etc. What do you know, the next thing, one night he walks in the house with two traps in his hand that he had disconnected --he put everything back the way it was before the downgrade. He said that no one was around. He said that the cable company would most likely never even notice and even if the slim chance that they would happen to notice, they would just assume that the previous service guy didn't do his job. I said, "Sounds good to me!!"
