Why would you sever it when you can just unscrew it?

.....and watch the contents totally empty in mere seconds, making it pretty much non-lethal unless:

#1. you were next going to club the owner over the head with the empty tank,

#2....or stand in the bushes and laugh hysterically as he has to go somewhere and purchase a fresh tank with his wife screaming at him loud enough for the neighbors to hear that he's "holding up dinner", and "I thought you said you checked the tank!!".

I find that curious, I wonder what brand it is.

My Aunt had the same thing happen with her old gas grill and worried kids had come into her backyard and done it.

I thought that a bit odd, why would kids do such a thing.

I wonder if there’s a brand of gas grill that has an issue with the gas lines?

As a smart conservative you would know this, any liberal wouldn’t.

When you unscrew the line from a propane tank you remove the pin that opens a safety valve. A properly operating propane tank will not spill or leak when the hose is removed. If you slit the line it could probably spill and create a terrible hazard, especially in a confined space. Propane is heavier than air and does not disperse quickly, even outdoors.
