    ive got 4 BOC cylinders, all with plastic seals intact, of air-con gases. r134 ,*****22 and r410 x2.
    can you tell me
    a)what each one is worth to an aircon/refrig guy ?

    Where did you get them from? Did the bottle pixie leave them under your pillow? Someone will be paying rental on these

    If you don't know the answer to your question then just how did these cylinders end up in your possession?

    Sorry for being cynical but we all suffers from far to many break-ins in to our vans.

    BOC cylinders are all rental cylinders so if you have them you do not own them.
    The cylinders are all serial numbered and an individal has signed for those bottles and is payng rental on them.
    If you are the person who signed for them then you should know the value so I must therfore assume that you have come across these cylinders by accident.
    Let BOC know you have the cylinders and I'm sure they would be grateful for their safe return.

    You will find a depot on the link above.
    Or you could ask them the value and let them deal with it.

    Hi wing ding, you are right the gas bottles even empty are worth quite a bit, but I think they are only worth this to the person who 'hired' them.

    You have no use for them?

    What line of work are you in?

    Return the stolen property to the person that you stole it from and sleep better.

    Is it possible to trace this person, we had many vans broken into over the years.

    Well, he's put his email address up for the spammers and all, so perhaps the police may be able to trace through it.

    I don't quite see how a copier technician gets his hands on four bottles of gas legally somehow.
