Gas meter covers can typically be found outside your house, near the gas meter itself. They are usually located on the ground or on a wall near the meter.
In most houses you would.
To turn off the power to your house at the meter, locate the main electrical panel outside your home. Find the main circuit breaker or switch labeled "main" or "power." Flip the switch to the "off" position to cut off power to your house. Make sure to follow all safety precautions and consult a professional if needed.
It depends on where you live

You would not be the first person to have someone else tap into your electric power. If you are in a detached house, it is fairly easy to find out. Turn off everything in the house. Leave the circuit breakers on. Have someone stand outside by the meter. See if the meter still runs. (You may need to turn off the breaker to the hot water.) If the meter is still running when nothing in the house is turned on, you can call the power company to come out and check.
One can find a town house using VRBO. This website enables one to find a house, depending on the user, find a good house anywhere one wants. This is a good site and it covers most of the USA.
In most cases the distribution panel is found in the basement of the home. If the home is slab on grade, look for the utility meter on the home, in 95 percent of the time the panel will be on the inside wall of where the meter base is mounted on the outside of the wall.
If you are looking for the main panel, look for where wires enter the house or where the electric meter is located.
You can find a water spigot outside typically near the house or in the backyard. It is usually attached to the exterior wall of the house or a standalone fixture in the yard.

You can find them at the Animal Samaritans, really anywhere...probably outside your house, maybe at the park.
Your use of the term 1986 home suggests you have a mobile or modular home. If so, there should be a shut off at each gas appliance. Stove, furnace, fireplace. If not, there may be one outside between the house and the meter. If not, there is one on the meter. If you have a regular house that was built in 1986, there should be a main shut off in the basement. If you do not have a basement, then it is probably only at the meter.
