Thieves haul off 15 propane tanks from Walgreens

When you’re ready to cook, first turn on the tank, then the grill. When you’re finished, turn the propane tank off first and then turn off the grill controls to minimize the amount of residual pressure left in the gas hose. Remember to keep the grill controls off and the propane cylinder valve closed when not in use. PHOTOGRAPH BY JOAN FAIRMAN KANES /PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER
