    HELP, How to prove power theft through my circuit from the flat above

    I am looking out for an electrician but I am unable to investigate them myself that is too much for me. They look suspicious though. Landloard HA has avoided any responsibility and my complaints are now ignored. If I manage to prove this you will difinatelly see it on the news.

    Thanks. I was told they have started (HA) a tenancy breach against them which means I will not be informed any further about their investigation.

    There is access from the kitchen ceiling which is lowered for air vent. I have never opened it is a small plastic lid. What kind of camera is that. But again if I find something how can I use it?

    HELP, How to prove power theft through my circuit from the flat above

    Upstairs is a different flat. I do not have to isolate something. But the floor between us is not concrete. This is how I found out a month ago, I started switching off, first the sockets, then the area breaker or the whole main board. Everything would stop immediately.

    HELP, How to prove power theft through my circuit from the flat above

    I made a formal complaint. They sent an electrician who checked the main board and some sockets but I couldn't hear anything from upstairs. The electrician also said in order to tamper my supply they needed access to my flat so he didn't look further.
