morebadnews, Thank you for your post! People shouldnt judge or assume. seankelly15, the house has been pd off for many years. 2thec, you are correct, gas leaks happen & it is tragic, it doesn't mean people are trying to collect on ins. connieleigh4 & goalflinger, I assure you, this house had far more sentimental value than monetary value to my dad. In fact connieleigh4, it had just been put on the market & they had a prospective buyer coming that day. kellypsnll, it was a gas leak, not a meth lab & my father was there on Monday & there was no smell of gas. And scubagirl, my dad still worked at this 4 acre property tending to and keeping it up, almost daily. He’d go in to wash up, get out of the elements, or just to sit down & rest, so he kept the power on. He is 82 yrs old & works harder than most 20 yr olds. Thank you NCMom1 for your awareness and post! Most people looking at property do want to know the utilities are in working order. Hope this clarifies some of the speculation

Check and see whos name the insurance was in. ....just a thought.

meth?

Gas leak or meth lab. We'll find out soon enough. I would think if it was a gas leak, there would be the tell tale sign of vapors to be smelt.

In the same area this week there was a woods/field fire and an incident of a stolen car full of bullet holes set on fire by the bridge down from this house. Area seems to have too much going on.

seankelly15 just because the house was for sale doesn't make a difference either way if it was for sale or not.....

Connieleigh4 don't judge

sounds like to me someone is trying to collect insurance on a house that wouldn't sell in a timely manner!

Oh, and Scuba girl, the gas lines terminate at a meter at the home. So while the gas line going inside the home can be off, there remains a live gas line coming up directly to the home itself, and there might be other lines buried on the property, or it could be from any number of other chemicals which might have been stored at the home. Propane tanks inside, just about anything. But my guess is that this is a government conspiracy against vacant homes and there is a hit list of homes scheduled for drone strikes.

Scubagirl, You have to keep the power and utilities on during the sale so that the house can be shown and inspections done.

When I was house hunting the only time I saw a house that did not have all utilities on was one that was selling "as is"
