How often do you see cops being as nice as "Resisting arrest without violence"

Just tap it at the meter junction. Digging and trying to cut open and splice into underground powerlines is pretty foolish.

If you tap in at the meter you have nice terminals to connect to and it's just as hidden. You also aren't going to have a power interruption.
If you're going to try digging down, cutting conduit, and then splicing into hot wires you're just plain stupid.
You can't steal any decent amount of power nowdays anyways. Modern relays track the power used and when the meters don't add up to the total on your local circuit they assume that they have leakage or a short somewhere. Then they track it down and find out you're stealing power and you're busted.

Most power companies have modern relays in each electrical substation. These relays meter, switch, and locate faults in the power lines. They are tied together via fiberoptics and microwave communication. Quite a sophisticated setup in many cases.
Anyhow, power companies do notice if there is power being "lost" over the lines. They will assume it to be a short, leakage, a transformer that's about to blow or crap out, or an intermittent short.
In todays power grid power is metered, switched around by computers, bought, sold, and rerouted at the speed of light. Power companies know what transmission losses to expect and how much power people are using. There is no free lunch anymore. You can steal only perhaps a half-apartment's worth of electricity nowdays without being noticed. If you steal more it may take them awhile to find you, but they will eventually find you in the process of locating strange sources of unusual transmission losses.
