What would probably be simplest is a light-sensitive diode in the
cabinet, wires to a bell inside the house.  Should even work at night
once the security lights are in place. The question is, how much of my
GCSE physics can I remember?

Or have the sparks (we have one coming) wire a door sensor to the alarm
system.  Whether ours is smart enough to have zones or how much of a
risk that would be, I don't know.

What I find strange is that there is simply no advice available on how
to stop meter thefts.  All there is is PR crap from the supply companies
telling one how bad utility theft is.  Not much help really.
