‘Christmas spirit and all’: Guy unplugs his mooching neighbor's holiday lights after they intentionally try to steal his electricity

Although electricity seems to get more and more expensive every year, that would never de-motivate festive decorators from scaling back their DIY light show–in fact, for the neighbors in this next story, expensive electrical bills just meant that these Christmas lovers had to get more 'creative' with their wiring. 

This audaciously entitled neighbor decided to cut holiday costs by plugging his home's holiday lights into his neighbor's outlets, effectively stealing electricity from next door to power up some at-home Christmas cheer, bright enough that you could probably see it from space. 

Personally, I'm friends with my neighbors and I'm usually pretty willing to share a few resources with them. When they need an egg, a cup of flour, or someone to watch their dog for the day, I'll happily step up. But my good favor would quickly go out the window if I discovered they were trying to pilfer valuable resources off of my home grid. Keep scrolling to read how this property owner got a little petty payback against the folks next door who went out of their way to steal power from beyond the fence line.
