At my old house I tried to shut off the valve and it was stuck in place. I could not get it to budge. I asked a buddy what I should do and he said that if bigfoot happens comes through your neighborhood, the glass cover on the front off the meter might just happen to break. If that happens the meter stops working so they have to come replace it, and it is their meter and they will have to clean the mud out to be able to shut off the water to replace the meter. After that is is easy to see the valve and it will shut off properly. The next day I saw bigfoot in my neighborhood and sure enough that bastage broke the glass cover on the meter and with a month or so I had a new meter. Bigfoot just hates water meters.

I always thought the can opener for beer bottles or the old style beer cans before pull tabs was a church key.
