I guess I just removed myself as a suspect. When I want to kill someone I just.....uh...nevermind.

-- So he's using a gas grill INSIDE the porch/house? --

Is it even LEGAL to have a filled or partially filled propane container inside any part of a dwelling?

Half joking, but it certainly is NOT legal to have a filled or partially filled (or "ever filled") propane tank inside a commercial establishment. They must be secured outdoors.

-- A properly operating propane tank will not spill or leak when the hose is removed. --

Unscrew the burner end.

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!!".

OMG, I laughed so hard I had to stop reading and catch my breath. That is the funniest post I've seen about this yet! I nominate you for Post of the Year.

Unscrew the burner end.

It's hard to get at. The "burner end" doesn't screw in, in the ones I am familiar with, the hose ends in an "aerator" (for lack of a better word) and is secured by clips to the burner pan. You could accomplish the same thing by just turning on the burners and never pressing the igniter. You'd get a better build up if you don't open the lid and let the gas accumulate inside. Which is probably what someone would do if they really wanted to hurt someone.

Although, if your purpose was to "send a message" slicing the line would be more effective.

It's a shame that they published his address, but if he installs a security camera it will cut down on curiosity seekers. When that twit was arrested in Sudbury (MA) for trying to join the "jihad" I drove down the cul-de-sac his parents lived on out of curiosity. There was a four wheel drive vehicle parked across from their driveway in a town where people don't usually park on the street. Might have been some kind of private security. I also remember the traffic jams when I lived near Amityville, NY when cars would line up to drive past the "Horror House".
