Aibu to think someone's out to get me ...

[Lauraagh]

Am I being paranoid here...
About 3 weeks ago I got a phone call from my landlord saying someone had rang them and told them wasn't living in my property..I had abandoned it apparently (no true obviously )
Then tonight I come home from work and I have no electricity on in my flat.
I check my box in my flat to see if any switches were facing down but nope all fine,nothing had tripled the box.
Ring n power and they sent a engineer out who looks at my box says all is fine etc then he checks the box outside my flat (stupidly I didn't have the sense to check because it only shows the meter reading) and someone had switched my supply off there.
Now he said that can only be manually switched off.
There's only 4 flats inside the building and you need a key to access it.
All my food is ruined.
What do you reckon?
Is that dodgy to you?

No it doesn't need a key anyone can open the box (well anyone inside the building)apparently so the electric company can read your meter easy
No my landlord didn't do that,it's through a lettings agency and when I called the lady was lovely and said how people have too much time on hands etc.
I think turning the electricity off was a nasty thing to do,even if someone thought out of concern I wasn't living at property,why intentionally go in box and turn it off.
I'm actually moving in 4 weeks,I was thinking about if I was doing the right thing,I'm sure now.

Maybe this is just the universe telling you this

It sounds like one of your neighbours. Id keep an eye on who moves into the flat because if it is someone close to your neighbours then it may have been them trying to get you to move out.

Days like this I wish my front door had a peep hole

Call your energy company too.. Are you account holder?

Rang energy company,I am account holder.
They said nothing wrong with meter etc and no power cuts

It's hard to think of any other explanation than that someone deliberately turned your electricity off. I wonder if you are actually the opposite of noisy - so quiet that an intrusive and interfering neighbour thinks you are not actually there! Either that, or there is someone spiteful in your vicinity. I would ring the police and just log the past two occurrences, so you have them on record in case there are further developments.

I would also be tempted to put a polite note through neighbouring doors that says "I have had a number of incidents recently where someone in the neighbourhood has assumed that my home is unoccupied. My landlord received a phone call informing him of this, and my electricity has been turned off, ruining much of my refrigerated and frozen food. I am sure this is well-meaning, but it is unnecessary and is causing me serious inconvenience. Please note that I am living at my home and that any further incidents will be reported to the police as harassment."

Oh I had something really similar quite a few years ago!! Agent sent someone in to 'deep clean' my empty house and electricity and gas came to cap power while it was 'empty'

Turned out to be nothing more than a typo on behalf of the landlord who had another flat in the same building being vacated, just a mistake, they got me wine and a voucher to apologise iirc, it's probably something really innocent, i wouldn't worry good luck with the move
