I am looking for some absentee owners in my area. I have either found them or their relatives on FB. Would it be ethical/legal to contact them either on Facebook or at the place of their work (I found that out through FB)? What do you think? Wouldn't people get defensive and feel like I was spying on them in order to get in touch with them about their vacant property?
