My son's girlfriend's parents are private detectives, but it all sounds pretty boring really. They have to lurk for hours in the back of a cold van, waiting for some bloke who says he can't walk more than six steps to come out of his house and run down the street. I don't think they get many really exciting jobs.

i employed a private detective a few years ago after i had a tip off that one of my drivers was stealing fuel off his fuel card!!

i paid over �700 for some tacky useless photo's of my lovely van, they followed him for 2 hours in 2 days!!!

anyway, i argued the bill, and told them to come to my house for payment, it was like a scene from the pink panther when they came!! it was totaly ridiculos!!!

i hope i dont paint every detective with this brush but i can only hope you dont get the idiots i had!!

I've used one: I had a business partner who'd done a bunk owing money, leaving me liable for his debts. I paid a private detective to find his address and he found him within a day - pretty good work seeing he'd moved to a new town and gone ex-directory. I paid �200 and thought I'd got my money's worth.
