Advice on an off market house.

I've been keeping my eye on a property that looks vacant, even though there's a truck in the yard, and household items in the windows.  Nothing in the yard looks like it moves and no lights at night. 

According to the county's tax site, the owners haven't paid taxes the last 3 years, and they have a different mailing address than the property. I looked up the mailing address info and it seems to be just acreage, owned by someone else, according to GIS.

I'm not sure if they're just using a friend or family's address to receive mail, if they actually still live at the target address, or something else. 

I don't mind calling some numbers that popped up on searching for info, but wanted some feedback on how to approach reaching out to the potential owners of the property, as well as any advice about the situation as a whole. 

Thanks for your help.
