Keg Thievery or Lucky Find?

[Horseflesh]

I randomly ended up with a Bud keg in a pile of stuff I purchased from a homebrewer exiting the hobby. After reading this thread, I've become concerned about the keg's history. Things could have gotten pretty ugly, but I saved myself a lot of trouble by burning down my house and fleeing to Nambia, the one place beyond ABI's reach. If anyone comes around asking about a guy with a keg, you don't know me.

Not a keg, but a close story. About 25 years ago a beer distributor closed up and had an auction. My father and a friend bought 6 co2 tanks at the auction. 15 years later I went to fill one for my welder and the idiot at Airgas told me it was a stolen tank and I wasn't allowed to fill it. I told him where and how they were purchased but he kept arguing with me and threatened to keep the tank. I grabbed it from him, told him my name and said to look up my account, and then close it, I won't be back. He lost a lot of sales and I have not returned there since.. Two other spots in town to fill tanks and they NEVER give me any grief about my legally purchased tanks, and one is used for my kegged beer.

Don't worry about it. Someone payed the deposit already. Think of it like a can or bottle. If the breweries deposit isn't enough to cover the container it's the breweries fault. Pretty simple concept. Cheers
