Been 20 years ago that I was putting up a fence for a woman. The yard was marked but we hit a gas line. Gas line wasn't where it was suppose to be. Utility company had it fixed in an hour.

They said it wasn't our fault. The ground was clearly marked.

I was afraid that someone would pitch a lit smoke out a window of a passing car.
