In the 1950's/60's in England theft from electric & gas slot meters was the most common crime committed. It was classed as theft even if the slot meter was in your own house, as soon as the coin went in the meter it was the property of the electricity or gas board, & if they discovered the meter lock broken the cops were sent for.
The most common crime committed nowadays is watching TV illegally: if you don't have a TV licence & turn on the TV you're breaking the law & can be fined & even sent to jail, several people are jailed for it every year...
