Would have to be a fairly large river to get any kind of power output and people would notice if he stuck a dam on it.

Depends how big the cave.... nobody would notice a dam inside a cave... cause it's inside a cave.

He was leaching off the grid, separate from his normal utilities... generally people tap into the water system to do this...

Yeh but if he was using the normal grid, and paying his bill who would have cared? All dude has to say is that the lights and TVs stay on 24/7, pay his enourmous bill and rake in the $$$$ from selling some weed. The way it is, dude got caught because he was stealing electricity

Seems like people only get caught when they get greedy.

Lights and TV.... WAY beyond lights and TV... like, "I have my 100,000 gallon Olympic lap pool heated to 90º year round" sort of electric bill... Not the sort of shit you can easily explain away.

Yeah if anything they would of caught on MUCH earlier because of the huge bill. Each of those lights is about 1000 watts.. Pretty easy to do the math from there..
