The first time they locked me in to my property!!! I was nice when I reported it. The second time they locked me out and I was little less polite. A month later they locked me out again, I called head quarters and talked to big boss, melted his ears for a bit and told him all would walk next time and forever the next time I get locked in or out. And that the right of way was in need of major repair and, that I was done maintaining it. They spent 3 days fixing road up nicely.
Told him in future I will just knock off thier lock and lock with ours. They can wait for me to show up when they need to get in or replace thier lock. Most regular gas men are quality people, it's the others i.e. line trimmers and line repair that don't frequent the property as often and don't pay attention to this important detail.
