Things started to go down hill and they simply took off on the sixth month, leaving behind what ended up being 42 bags of garbage, rotting food in the fridge, cat litter pans full of...well, you can guess.I ended up "raking" up the oldest daughters room to clean it up and was glad I was wearing gloves since, as I got down to the last layer it consisted of used tampon containers simple tossed on the floor instead of in the garbage (sorry if this is too much information).They took the "important" stuff (all the plastic flowers) but left behind all the "unimportant" papers including bank statements and both previous leases (I learned they pulled the same trick on at least two other local landlords) and the new lease...so filing against them was easy since they kindly provided me with their new address where they could be served.They also left behind new clothes with tags on them and I tried a few of the blouses on; they fit and I made sure I was wearing one of them when we went to court and I won my judgement against them.Gail

Where did all the people go.....where is the flower power man?

Bryan, I'm not seeing thier profiability having anything to do with thier cost of capital, the funeral business is cash heavy, not much in capital needed, the equipment isn't for an operating room, a herse, the limos, some chairs, a snactuary, some flower stands and pots, a small tent and a backhoe and you're in business!

If the flowers are blooming and its warm and sunny then things rent very well.

Sorry to sound whatever about it, but I think you've just about beat the dead horse on this one.What would be super educational Aaron, even for me, is to see one of your CA cash-flowers.

@Macy Flower Welcome to BP.

Flower it up any way we want to, a lender who receives any type of collateral after any attempt to sell for amounts due never has the bundle of rights of ownership of the borrower/owner as those rights were never granted, only a security interest was granted.

I calculate 15% ROI at a purchase price of 95k with another 1k for paint and flowers.

the remains will be casketed surrounded by flowers and some sort of clergy would be present.

@Alex Flowers, completely agree.
