A man called the police department because he wanted to file a report about a Boulder City employee or contractor breaking into his property and cutting the lock on his power box. He said that they cut the lock on the box to fix something in it, but he insisted they did not have the right to be on his property. Upon arrival, he told officers that the city had not notified him about the repairs and whoever did them came through two unlocked gates and then cut off a $10 lock he had installed on a wooden panel over the meters. He was upset that he had not received prior notification and that they cut off his lock because he could have removed it beforehand. He told officers he would pursue the matter with the city but wanted the details noted.
