I thought that as well.

I assumed that but maybe it was a bad idea to.I thought that as well.
100% make sure you're plugging it into circuits that either have nothing on them or unplug everything from it and turn off all the lights.

Get an extension cord and plug it in at a neighbour's house, obviousment.
Just consider it similar to something like stealing their wifi.

Stealing wifi is orsum, it was a right bastard to try and hide an ethernet cable coming from the neighbour's house before he got a wireless router, like.

I steal it sometimes just because it would be wrong not to.
mostly harmless
I read that as "stealing a wife" for some reason

By code the heater should be on its own circuit, wired with number 10 wire. If it says it uses 16 amps when running then you should be using a 20 amp plug with a 20 amp breaker. ( I havnt gone to trade school yet but i know theres some sort of de-rating factor involved in it. Something like, you need 40% more capacity than what it says...) Put a ohm meter on the cord going to the plug and let it run, see what its really drawing. It may say 16 amps when running but when an electric motor starts up it uses more.
