Around my area, some tanks are owned by the companies. They typically
have the company name painted on.

As others have suggested, check to see if you have any document that
indicates that they are privately owned.

I'd suggest to call the company. Maybe they got the wrong adress, or
something like that. They may well apologize, and bring the tanks
back.

We bought a new house last year and there were two large gas tanks
that
were full of propane for a gas fireplace that came with the house.
This morning a gas company came onto our property without our
permission and took the tanks away. They were at least half full of
$300+ in propane. As far as I knew these tanks were owned by the
previous homeowners and were ours.

Does this gas company (in Virginia) have any right to:

A) Come onto my property (inside by FENCED BACKYARD) without my
permission.
B) Take half full tanks without contacting me.
