Years ago I bought a house in Mboro... at the settlement there was a line showing an expense for the gas in the two tanks (a few hundred bucks). When I went to my new place for the first time, the gas line was disconnected and 'tamper proof' seal plugs were installed on the tanks. I had no fuel for heat or cooking. The prior owners canceled their account, and the gas company (Suburban Propane?) managed to race out to the property in a manner of days to prevent me from using gas... Then they insisted that I must pay for the gas in the bottles (again) and to hook up the line. I was remodeling and decided at that moment to switch to an electric range and electric baseboard, since the house was only 3-season anyway. I called the gas company and told them to come get their tanks. Of course this went without a response for weeks into months... I finally had to have my lawyer send a letter telling them to get their tanks off my land in 10 days or they will be discarded at their expense. When I went up to the cabin the next weekend they were gone...
