Paranoia: why was my gas meter just replaced?

[pyesetz]

Saturday night my basement flooded.  Sunday into Monday there was a hose coming out of my window, spewing water into the yard.  Monday the local utility company called to say that my gas meter is "obsolete" and needs replacement.  They wanted to stop by on Tuesday to replace it but quick-thinking Wifey told them to wait until Wednesday

When my parents had their gas meter replaced they refused to allow the guy access to the house. Their meter is outside, but the installer wanted to run wires through the finished basement. The guy just left the outdoor valve closed.

He was actually the Loyalty Inspector, there to be sure that you don't have a secret room in your basement filled with Americana.
