Gas well worker robbed at gunpoint

But a gas field worker in Johnson County experienced a different crime Sunday night.

A man claiming to have car trouble first asked the worker for gas money, but when the worker agreed, the man pulled a gun and demanded the whole wallet.

I see you deleted my Guard Dog Plan idea, at well sites. What the plan would detail and how to implement it. The purpose it could
serve at well sites.

I am serious about the Rights to the Plan. I own them.

I printed out this page before the delete. I have my original

posting in my Lease Files.

PS: If you implement the Guard Dog Plan with'en the next 30 years,

the average life of a well., I retain and reserve all rights to this

plan. I will be willing to negotiate a release for a Mega Bonus $$$

with no concessions asked, other than a release of liability- O%

paid to me in care of the Star * Telegram. You may contact me in

this blog or e-mail the blog authors. All bids will be considered

in a timely manner. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Everyone!!!

"I guess this is the big oil company's fault, too.."
No, please spare us your persecution complex, whoever you are.

But if you want gas well connected crime, just wait. There's any number of unattended, unguarded wellheads and other installations. Any fool with wirecutters and a sledgehammer can cause some serious damage, complete with a monster gas leak.

I guess this is the big oil company's fault, too..
