I realize this is a legal question but has anyone here had this happen.

Any advice?



1. Bought a house, as is, in 2010, which came with a 1,000 gallon propane tank attached.

2. Entered into agreement with fuel company "1" for fuel in 2010.

3. No tank rental is paid to fuel company 1 because it's not their tank

4. Recently a workman (inspecting the tank because of a new BBQ) mentioned that company 2 owns the tank

5. Company 2 was recently bought by company 1.



Nothing more has happened, but, who owns that tank?



I feel "I" own it by virtue of multiple circumstances (but I'm not a lawyer!):

a. I bought the house and everything attached to it

b. I never signed an agreement with company 2

c. Company 2 abandoned that tank long ago (IMHO)



I suspect, if company 1 wants to assert ownership of that tank, they could say:

A. Company 2 originally owned the tank

B. Company 2 still owns that tank

C. Therefore, company 1 (who owns company 2) owns that tank.



Have you ever been in this situation?

What advice do you have for me?

The water meter in my yard belongs to my house. The water company said it was mine. But I believe it is illegal for me to remove it.
I rented an apartment in Boston. It had an oil heater. The landlady was on the rag and shut it off in the middle of winter. That was illegal, but she did it anyway. The courts are kangaroo. The US government needs to be shutdown and the Republican party needs to be destroyed.
My back is part of my body. IT is mine. I demand the inquisition device out of my back George H W Bush stuck there in 1982.
There should be NO DEATH Penalty for killing US police. They are unconstitutional.
