Texas/New Mexico Stateline | Guy I know did all the canned food tricks, but also the same week they came home from their honeymoon he turned off the water in the alley, and put a very official notice on the front door that the water had been turned off due to non payment. And the only way to get it turned back on was to go to city hall with something like $250 cash only. Found out later they took the notice down to city hall after scraping together $250 (which was some trouble) and the city hall folks couldn't figure out what was going on for a while. The notice looked so official and all.
Another couple had lots of pocket change thrown all over the floor of the house as a "gift". Lots of trouble having to pick it all up off the carpet.
