just thought i'd post a little warning for you all living in north orange county, ca. i get home to a note from our local electrical utility company (sce). they want to trim the tree in my backyard to clear it from the overhead power lines. no problem there. there is a date on it stating they will return then to do the work. then my neighbor comes over telling me- they were trying to get in your backyard, but your dogs wouldn't let them get back there.
he also said they tried my next door neighbors house too. but his dogs wouldn't let them in either.
so, in other words, they were just going to help themselves to accessing my backyard without any permission at all!!! if they would have just gone in my yard, they possibly could have discovered something, or gotten eaten by my dogs. btw- i had tree trimmers allowed to come in a few years ago, steal all the ripe veggies and fruits from my garden.
so i stay home to wait for the trimmers to show on the time and date they stated, and they no show!! so i wait the next day, no show!! now there is a lock and their note with time and date circled, and my note that tells them to come and talk to me in the evening during the week cause im not missing any more work for their unprofessional ass!!!

if you live in this area be fore-warned, your place could be next!!
 
SCE and gas company will never knock or ask for permission. They attempt to enter private property all the time. There's nothing to stop them from poking around (save for guard dogs). I almost shot two SCE employees when they busted/kicked open my yard gate talking in hushed voices. Thought they were baddies up to no good. Very close call.
