<p>I would agree with Craig on the trees, as to it being a contract
matter assuming the seller did it. <br>
</p>
<p>Not enough information on the propane system, but would question
the amount at issue.</p>
<p>The Form 17 "I don't know" is what I find interesting. That's a
huge red flag IMHO, and for buyers and buyer's agents an indicator
of a difficult transaction ahead, and in this case, post-closing.
The answers would seemingly only apply to the propane and not the
trees, but it may still be relevant to the trees. The seller has
a personality type making what happened to the trees (assuming not
a trespass situation) not that surprising.<br>
