Stealing by induction is illegal, obviously, and can be detected by the power company/owner easily and exactly. Basically any loop that is passed through an electic field will create induction, which wouldnt interfere with the electric field anyway. I know an electrician that has gotten cancer playing catch the electricity, but, unless you are talking a REALLY strong electric field, and very close proximity, do what everyone else says and worry about the mold in the walls or the rampaging duck.

Has to do with the type of cancer, the way I understand it, though Im certainly not a doctor.
