Very common in the US. I am in AZ also and most meter-main boxes are outside so utility company has access to it. Almost all outside boxes have a tab for locking. Criminals have been known to shut off your power before they rob you

Where do you live that you have an outdoor circuit breaker? Never heard of such a thing - mine are in my basement.

Not unusual at all for at least the mains to be outside. One of the reasons alarms have battery backup.

It's code in many places, fire department needs the ability to shut off power in a fire emergency.

The real question might be what problem are you trying to solve? Are kids messing with you or has someone actually turned off you power in an attempt to bypass your security?

Don’t think I’ve ever seen this in the UK. Always inside the house or garage.
