Default Anybody get free cable (not illegally running it)

This is wierd, but for the last few months or so I've been getting cable over my Antenna. It's only about the first 50 channels or so, and it's got a lot of static. I can watch ESPN, Disney, Sci-Fi, and almost every single one from 25-50 clearly. The lower ones around 4-20 are almost unwatchable. When it first happened I checked every single place cable comes in to see if maybe the apartment complex I was in had a deal where everybody got basic cable, but none of them are hooked up.

The only thing I can think is I am getting a leak from the box right outside my wall where they have a line in for this side of the complex and about 30 lines out to the individual apartments.

The odd thing though is this only happened recently as if there's a loose wire or something, but the cable guy has messed with the box a few times since I've been here, so I would figure they would notice something very obvious.

The nice thing, my local OTA channels come in crystal clear on my other TV in the bedroom off a 50ft extension cable, so I get my local channels in HD, and I've got the static for my cable channels in the living room for everything else. The cool thing is I don't really watch any shows that aren't on the channels I receive.
