I don't consider this an issue with RV-ing, but how common is it where a store asks one to drop the propane cylinder by the cage they go in, go in, thenpay for an exchange.
However, when one comes out with a clerk and receipt in hand, the cylinder is gone.
Even though propane fillers are harder to find, it is annoying to have to make one purchase for a refill... then turn around, and make another $50 purchase for a new bottle.
Is this common anywhere else, or is this just Austin?
It's probably those looking for a quick buck doing metal recycling that would take an empty tank. Many recyclers don't take manhole covers anymore (don't laugh it used to happen) and these tanks are heavy compared to other things. It's more a crime of opportunity. Oh there's an empty tank I'll just throw it in my trunk and drop it off at the recyclers next trip.
