i have always fancied doing something like that when a customer asks me to 'just move a socket' as if it is the simplest thing to do and shouldn't take more than five mins.

I guess now that we have to have energy efficient lighting this will be the next thing, the energy efficient socket.

haha, thats what i was told. I asked the tenants if they had had any other electrical work done recently - no. ???

After finding a similar situation, I've had customers look me straight in the eye and swear blind that it was working the day before.

lol, gotta love that.
Like a 6yo child with chocolate all over her hands/dress/face, surrounded by empty chocolate wrappers. Then asked by mum/dad, have you been eating chocolate? No comes the reply, lol

Ask if you can use their phone.

Call the police, use their name, say you want to report a theft and could they send someone round.
