This makes a lot of sense!

It's not like the company A didn't know where to find the tank.

And, since it's needed for heating & cooking & hot water, company A
must have known *someone* was filling it up over all these years.

I'm *assuming* that there is no legal way for them to come and
get it (without my permission); but even then, they could have
simply sent me a letter *asking* for permission to come and take
their tank. Right?

They never did that. I've had no contact with them whatsoever.
