The contractor's in jail.... Even if the woman was a witch,no one would leave a grand worth of tools.
just my $.02......if you're even interested in doing the job
I would set a meeting with the building inspector, the HO, and yourself. That way you and the B.I. can come to an agreement about what needs done and the HO will be listening to everything. You'll also have the local official to back you up when explaining the costs involved.
If the contractor pulled a permit, the B.I. would know who was doing the work. You and the inspector may also be witness if a lawsuit is applicable.
If you've done other projects in the neighborhood and could possibly land more jobs, it may be worth your while to help this woman out and gain reputation......It's an interesting situation either way. Like others, I'm curious what the whole story is.
