Your letter might get "accidentally" brushed into the garbage can in 10 seconds flat depending on the mood of the person who reads it.You'll catch more flies with honey than vinegar...I would be neutral, calm, and objective -- state the facts only and use "please" a lot.

If you just went there and took it and they called the cops you might be in some hot water depending on state law and the mood the cop is in but most likely the cops will just tell them it is a civil matter and do nothing.

Moreover, if they are in the mood to sell their property I don't bring just one offer to the table, I bring twelve.

Air scrubbers are a good idea for bad mood.

IF that was used for growing, then you buy it, and grow ... and where the cops & DA in the mood, they could put you in the unenviable spot of proving that you were NOT the former grower.If you call, mention that it might have been, etc., at least you've done something.

Just stash the extra you would have contributed into a savings account or stock market if the mood strikes you.

Hope for the best, but expect to break even, unless you're in the mood to do a full rehab on a 100 year old house.

I’d invite them over to my personal residence for eggnog and gingerbread cookies while the Andy Williams Christmas album was playing to soften the mood and help them get into the spirit .

Seems a bit like a case of Stockholm syndrome setting in.

You must not only know the demographics, but the mood and trend of the target market.Be well aware of the changing atmosphere and conditions of your target market.
