[AT] Duplex Truck Company

[Herb Metz]

If it were mine; to insure against further loss, those remains should be 
carefully, on-site loaded onto/into some rigid platform/container, then 
transferred elsewhere. And the area carefully visually searched, including 
metal detector and leaf blower, before the that phase is considered done.

You should be able to find the web site of the SEC or State for your state
and on
that web site you should be able to find the name and contact info for the
trustee.
If it's been rezoned commercial and is up for sale they would probably
consider it a
great favor if you remove that "scrap".  Just tell them there is some old
rusty metal,
part of a truck frame on the land and you think you can make use of it for a
project.

Another approach would be through the listing agent.  If it's not for sale
through a real estate
brokerage then the phone # on the for sale sign is probably the # for the
trustee.  Do it quick
before they pay someone to haul it off.

Ugh, if not to complicate the possible extraction even more, I did a
search for the owner of the property, and it is owned by a living trust,
and is currently up for sale. They also rezoned it commercial.
