Cable Company - Illegal Search and Seizure?

[dukes69]

What is the name of your state? California

Long story short - Cable Company came into the residence and "confiscated" two Black Boxes (allows you to get all the channels). Now they sent out a letter demanding $10000 is restitution. Question: Is it legal for the Cable Guy to come into someones house and seize said boxes? No Law Enforcment was involved, just the cable guy.
Thank you

My response:

Sure is legal. Especially when you let him in.

You let the cable guy in when you knew you had black boxes???

Buwahhhaaa!

Did you offer him tea and crumpets too?

Me too. I am watching a rerun of Rerun and my black box is not even plugged in.

Sorry, but I HAVE to ask......
"Is it legal for the Cable Guy to come into someones house and seize said boxes?"
*** How EXACTLY did the 'cable guy' get into your house??

 

[HomeGuru]

The writer let him in.

I just wanted to hear it from the writer.....

Maybe he lost his cable based high speed internet...

I was really looking for a simple answer.

One: it wasnt me, it was my sisters boyfriend

two: I dont know how he got in.

three: regardless, if he was let in, its legal, but if he was, then its not.
