If he broke the lock on his neighbors house, that means the house must have been vacant. you can only lock the valve cock in the closed position not on the open position. You wouldn't want a lock preventing you from shutting off the water in an emergency.

That's a shutoff valve for a water main. The water company will close it and padlock it if you don't pay your bill. You have another shutoff valve in the house.

The lock on a water meter is different.
