I was asked by a lady to investigate her husband because he might be cheating on her. He used to come back late at night with smell of woman’s perfume. Turns out he was taking dancing classes and he didn’t tell his wife.

Client wanted to know why her dog was getting fat. Turns out the dog was getting fed by almost every stranger it encountered while wandering around outside during the day.

Guy calls me to help catch his neighbor who is knocking over his trashcans at night. We set up a small night vision camera to catch the guy. Watch the video the next day – it is the wind. The client freaks out, says that his neighbor could have had an invisibility field or could have been moving too fast (like the Flash) to show up on camera. Wants to pay us thousands of dollars to rent a heat-seeking camera or one that can shoot thousands of frames per second.Turns out lots of crazy people call PIs to investigate the TV controlling them, alien abduction, etc.
