nesparky,
We had a good one in our area, a few years back, they were upgrading a service, the neighbor works construction, and told the electrician he should get it marked before he drives a rod, the electrician told him to mind his business, he has been doing this for years without a problem, and he knows where the gas is comming into the house, ten minutes later only a foundation was left.
A house just down the street from me, is gone because the owner decided to replace his steps to the porch, so he rented a small loader, and tried to remove the steps, took one bite in the ground and moved the gas line, the house filled with gas, and before the fire trucks arrived it was gone.
