A female friend of mine was contacted by the police because her ex boyfriend was found dead from a suspicious nature which required investigating. During the investigation, police discover numerous boxes containing tape recordings. It was discovered that the ex boyfriend had almost everyone he knew wired with audio transmitters or tape recorders. This included his parents, siblings, and friends. The officer informed my friend that she should check her house for potential illegal listening devices. She called me but I was on another job and couldn't make it to her house. I instructed her how to search herself and during her own search she discovered a microphone hidden in her bedroom.
A friend of mine called me and asked if I could do a sweep of his truck and work trailer for any tracking devices. He was dating this woman and her ex husband wasn't happy about it. My friend, who is semi obsessed about keeping his truck clean, was walking up to his truck when he saw a spot of dirt on the front of the box of the truck. He said he reached down and brushed it away when to his surprise some of the dirt moved right back to that spot. There was some metal shavings in it. This struck him as odd and bent down and looked and noticed a small black box. He grabbed it and pulled. The box was attached by a magnet. When he opened it he discovered it was a GPS tracker. He found out that the ex husband had placed it on his truck to keep tabs on their location. I conducted a thorough sweep of both his truck and trailer luckily not finding any more tracking or audio devices.
A friend of my relayed an incident that happened to someone he knows. They came home one night to find there was a broken window. They checked their house and found no signs of theft or damage. They figured it was some kind of accidental breakage. Some time passed during which time they were planning on going on vacation. When they returned from vacation they discovered their house had been burglarized. During the police investigation they discovered that there was a hidden camera placed to observe their security alarm keypad. It was determined that the camera was placed there during the earlier window breakage which gave the thief access to plant the camera. The thief was able to get the security code and listen to their plans for vacation allowing him to strike when he knew they were out of town.
