Good thought. I also find them sometimes on curb side. Sometimes the regulators are right at the tank fitting, so might need some work to make it function. Thanks for the good idea.

You can buy hoses suitable for connecting a propane tank to a bar-b-que
at any propane distributor. Maybe you can just butcher two such hoses
to make a propane bottle to propane bottle transfer hose.
Buy the proper fittings to do it safely - in brass.

If you are going to do something "stupid" you may as well do it as
safely as possible.

And by the way - it is not illegal to refill a container, but it IS
illegal to transport it.
