*this is not important to you lol*

So, I bough my house in 2017 and just continued propane service with the company the peeps I bought it from were using. They built the house in 2004 and changed propane companies in 2010

Last week a dude shows up from this company and says "we're checking on customers making sure they have what they need, we have your address on our route but the account expired in 2010." I said, "well we bought this house in 2017,I don't even know who I get propane from...”

“...but they automatically refill it." He says "ok, I'm probably just looking at the old account... I can't find yours but we're the only one who do that in this area. Do you mind If I take a look at see if you need a refill?" So I was like "sure man have at it"

He goes to my buried tank, looks at it.. writes something down and leave. Today I got this letter in the mail:

So, in the middle of a global pandemic, during a statewide lockdown.. they are threatening to remove a 16 year old propane tank they haven't checked in on in over a decade.

I don’t know all the laws of possession pertaining to this but 1) if they do own this tank they’ve effectively abandoned it for 10 years on this property. 2) I bought this tank from the previous owner when I bought the house...

And 3)... the tank is worth about $500 brand new and this one is almost 20 years in the ground... are they really gonna spend money to come dig it up and “repossess” it
