Why would thieves steal a gas meter please?
Anita,
They would steal a gas meter to use in another house. Tey remove the existing meter and put it aside, then they fit the stolen meter so they can continue to use gas. Then when a gas read is requested they refit the old (official) meter. The consumption used will be lower because most of what they would have used will go unrecorded through the stolen meter.
