A New Twist To The Gas Tank Robbery

Got a call from Ron Johnson this AM.He had an appointment with the gas man from Suburban. They were to discuss the installation of a torpedo style tank. 300 gallons, heavy, big, hard to steal, etc. The installer said it's best to do it in the summer time, as a trench needs to be dug for the pipe lines. But he said the point is moot, as we found the original 100 gallon tank. WHAT? (I'm sure that was Ron's response) Here's what happened. Suburban issued a remove tank order for Cole Hill address. The driver got the wrong house and took my tank by mistake. Of course when I called them to report the missing tank, they did not put anything together. And everyone involved considered it stolen. So the Sher riff call, the Allstate insurance involvement, etc, etc. was for not. I sent the check back to the insurance company. All is back where it was.
Ron and I both expressed relief over the fact it was not a robbery.The gas companies fiasco is laughable, thievery is not funny. So all is well that ends well. And I apologize for all the evil thoughts I had of the up state locals.
