A utility meter cover apparatus is provided for protecting an existing utility meter casing from vandalism. The cover apparatus includes a generally tubular base adapted to be received over an end wall of the casing and permanently fixed to the casing by an adhesive or the like. The base includes an end opening that provides access to the end wall of the casing and to the window and any hardware mounted in the end wall. A cover is sized for receipt on the base over the end opening, and is movable relative to the base between a closed position covering the end opening and an open position exposing the end opening. A lock assembly is connected between the base and the cover, and is shiftable between a locked position in which the cover cannot be moved from the closed position and an unlocked position in which the cover can be moved to the open position to allow access to the end face of the meter casing.
