If the homeowners didn't have mineral rights, then what were the other people being paid for? In my country, some title deeds convey mineral rights, some don't. Call me thick, but I am still unenlightened. Nice try, thanks.
I was managing an apartment building in Toluca Lake in '94. We only lost one window in the January earthquake, and I noticed that it had been improperly seated in it's pane. My guess would be that the windows that broke had some missing putty and were able to rattle in place. OTOH some folks can act pretty creepy, so there may have been a little fraud in the mix.
I presume they were using oil with that ammonium nitrate. IIRC this is the preferred recipe for lifting stumps &c. as it pushes more volume/pressure than TNT or what-have-you. A little calculation might have suggested the advisability of doing it a little further from town. This may be a bit bigger @ 500# than their previous endeavors. Sounds like fun was had.
So now they are pumping gas from under those neighbors without paying for it? Sounds criminal to me. What part of this am I not understanding correctly?
Bad idea. Why do some people need to be told these things? And why won't they listen. I used to check a couple of vents for pressure near "the La Brea Tar Pits" (love that redundancy). If any gas started leaking out, the neighborhood was to be evacuated.
Oddly enough, each of the California-endemic conifers seem to only remain in a tiny pocket, geographically at the extreme limits of their adaptability range.
This kind of Karma-whoring is one reason why 12 unanimous jurors should be required. With today's brilliant peers, maybe 15 would stand a better chance of having at least one rational vote.
The system is engineered to force all to pay for a personal car and insurance whether they can afford it or not. After mortgage and insurance is paid, I literally come up short on food and beer, and sometimes have to make some truly horrifying decisions.
I guess you'll want the insurance companies compelled to give up a database of all delinquent bill-payers so the cops can make productive use of their on-duty time. FOR A CHANGE. OTOH I don't support the NAZI manifesto nor do I wish law enforcement to be a profit center. Your mileage apparently varies.
My son is still in school, and the only thing he seems to have learned is to stop using his brain. It took me ten years or so to get back on track, perhaps only because I eschewed the television in that time.
The first thing that I thought when I RTFA was that these rascals were probably common, throughout our region of the galaxy, at least. Any testing of my hypothesis awaits funding. Does it threaten the children?
I kinda prefer a literal interpretation of the First Amendment, so I took great Umbrage when the People's Republic of California required I pass a test to get a permit to buy more handguns. When I took the test I was horrified to consider that some people were actually lame enough to not pass it. Maybe some people should not have guns. Proper testing could identify some perhaps.

The conscientious employee would correct this issue, as you suggest. IMHO the typical "jobsworth" is gonna keep things going as before.
My dad thinks the internet is a time waster. I won't be sending him this link.

Oh my.
This *stuff* lives and dies by the minutiae. Good to see that the court gets plenty o'reasons to look at the precedents. Could save some fees.
56#! Damn, they had'em smaller than that when I was a a kid.
We just put on our return address back in the neolithic days, when I was a kid. Mine went from Livermore to Hollister.

God put these "fossils" in the desert to test the faith of his followers. Ask not. Amen.
Were the jurors sequestered eight days a week, as well?

Television has proven that only non-democracies are evil.

The part I like to point out, in impolite company, is how the Puritans were so insufferable that the DUTCH actually threw them out as well.
Amen.

I, for one, welcome our New Mutant Extraterrestrial Bacterial Overlords.
Sly killers.
