How about just going to the other end, disconnect/cap there and then saw it off at floor level on the kitchen end?

@Daniel SmytIn summer turn the a/c disconnect around in the box.

I also try to inspect properties to see if they are disconnecting hoses.

The line running to the home is literally disconnect and hangin in a tree in the front yard.

I have used REI Skip in the past and called many landlines that were either disconnected or didn't even belong to the person who I was trying to reach.

That doesnt count having to upgrade the disconnect which is potentially thousands more if you dont have the juice to handle a condenser.   

It's possible that the tenants are cranking up the heat with windows cracked open but it could be a heating duct is disconnected somewhere and blowing hot air into the attic or crawlspace.

Lock the service disconnect/fuse box shut so no one can cut wires without blowing up their pliers. 

I tried calling my mortgage provider, but after being on hold and transferred three separate times over an hour the call disconnected and I don't have the heart to try again right now.Thanks in advance for any help!
