Yes because they own the tanks.

Yes. They have the right to discontinue service if you owe them money. Why should they provide free propane to you.
They probably filled the tank so that if/when you pay your bill, they can just unlock the tank instead of having to send a truck out.
There's no such thing as a free lunch - nor free propane. Pay your bill, bub.

Look at the contract that you signed with them, it more than likely says that they own the tanks, not you, and they probably also consider the tanks and the gas inside the tanks to be seperate purchases. It doesn't matter where the tanks are, it matters who the tanks belong to, which I'm sure is them.
Pay them the money that you owe them.

If you owe them money, they can lock it up. Too bad. Make some pay arrangements with the company, pay them some money, and they may unlock your tank.
