Today I was working a surveillance job for a worker’s compensation investigation, and the company had warned me that the guy had told a co-worker he expected the company would put a tail on him. As usual, they wanted me to use extreme caution or they’d never be able to prove the guy was faking a back injury.
When I headed over to the target’s house this morning around 6:30am, the temperature was in the low 40′s. Since I had driven about 30 minutes to get to this location, my engine was pretty warm, and I soon had an uninvited guest:
For a lot of reasons, I didn’t want this guy on my hood. I tried everything – windshield wipers, pounding on the windshield, you name it, nothing worked. The little rascal just sat there and looked at me.
I finally decided my antics to get rid of him were far more attention-getting than just letting him sit there.
And so he sat. And so did I.
After an hour, the engine must have cooled off enough that he decided to go elsewhere for warmth, and he jumped off and left me to do my job alone.
The target didn’t come out of the house all day…
But I’ll get him eventually, and when I do, I’ll post the pics here (with an Accelerated Solutions “gotcha” logo across his face, of course).

Just a quick blog update to give people an example of how we work at Accelerated Solutions. On a recent surveillance job to investigate a cheating spouse, the client’s partner was discreetly tailed to parking garage at a local hotel. During a meeting earlier in the week, the client made it very clear that the target of the investigation was very paranoid and would be difficult to photograph without being spotted.
Of course, being an investigator with over a decade of experience, this wasn’t the first time I heard the client say something like that, but it doesn’t matter how often I hear it, I take it seriously every time.
The client simply needed solid evidence that his spouse wasn’t telling the truth about where she was during the day. A quick call to the client confirmed she had told her husband that she was headed for the grocery store and would be gone a little more than an hour. I quickly determined that a shot of her in a parking garage (which the grocery store didn’t have), and another shot of her entering the hotel would be all the client needed to confirm his suspicions.
Keeping in mind the client’s warnings about his wife’s paranoia, I pulled my vehicle into a spot perpendicular to her SUV, on the driver’s side, then waited for her to come back out.
An hour later, I used my left side mirror to shoot a number of hi-resolution images that could later be cropped. In the second shot below, the target looked in my general direction, giving me a great shot of her face, but in the darkened garage, it was impossible for her to see me through the mirror and the window. Here’s a couple of examples of discretion in the line of duty. And up tomorrow, proof that she actually went into the hotel…
