OK, so I need to get one thing clear that the article did not cover.

Was the actual water from person 'A' redirected to the home of person 'B'? Or was this a case of person 'B's normal water usage within his home charged to the meter of person 'A.'?

I was describing your first scenario which is water diversion after it was measured at the neighbor's meter.

The second scenario would likely be a data mapping error in the billing computer that has the meter number assigned to the wrong billing address. This would be an inside job or maybe a good computer hack.

There really isn't a reason to break the lock on a water meter unless you want to bypass the meter "reading" what water is used. From there it doesn't matter who used the water.
