Could be a toxic waste dump and are looking for some unsuspecting person like you to buy and pay $$$ to clean up. Could be a watershed area where you can buy, but never even drive by, legally, but can sure pay taxes on, legally.

Ever hear the name Flukey Stokes? True story. He was a bad guy from the south side of Chicago. So bad, had his own son killed in the late 70's or early 80's. His son, another bad apple, nick named "Willie The Wimp" had a big mouth, so the old man had him offed, and buried him in a coffin decked out with a Cadillac Seville grill, steering wheel, and propped Willie The Wimp up in it, dressed like a pimp - no joke, can probably still find pictures that appeared in the news papers back then. And, the late Stevie Ray Vaughn even did a song about it called "Willie The Wimp". Anyway, Flukie was a bad character, and had some hot dog stands around Chicago, and gas stations. When he died, the feds came after all of his stuff and properties under RICO. One of the places was an old gas station with leaking tanks that had to be dug up, and the ground cleaned and stuff. Right after the Feds siezed it, the State Of Illinois EPA told them that they were now responsible for cleaning it all up. No way, they gave it back to his widow, and socked her with the bill and cleanup. Is very true. Maybe if you buy that cheap land, will be stuck cleaning up the leaky oil drum that has Jimmy Hoffa in it? LOL.

Mark.
