Not all people are cut out to be investigators. Everyone has something they are relatively good at, but people can’t be good in anything. There’s a forte for everyone. I agree with you that not anyone can just put up a PI agency – it takes more than tools or money to deliver the goods to clients – it would defeat the purpose of hiring a private investigator if he or she didn’t have any investigating skills in the first place. It’s important that whoever you hire should be gifted both in having the tools to do the job, and the skills to use them. True, very true. Not all people are cut out to be investigators.

Both skills and the right tools are needed for the PI to perform his or her job better. Also, these tools allow us to give accurate reports back to our clients. They always need concrete proof before we can say that a target is or isn’t up to no good. marque, yes, just fill out the contact form and we’ll get right back to you. Thank you for your support. While we don’t want to put down outfits that don’t have as much equipment as we do, tools are indeed very important. But there are outfits out there that have the requisite skills for the job and are still in the process of “beefing up their arsenal,” as you put it. Hi nick, you got it spot on.

I particularly like the hack on mobile phones, which I think can be handly for a number of reasons. I agree with Nick – it would be stupid to hire someone who hasn’t invested in equipment, no matter how cheap they are. In the first place, being able to afford stuff like these means clients are coming in, and the outfit can afford to beef up its ‘arsenal’, if you will. So that’s a double reason to trust the guy with the better tools. Just you wait, I might give you guys a call soon. The contact form, right? Cool tools you have there!

But I also recognize the need for PIs to have the necessary tools to get the job done. Coming from a client’s perspective, it is very important that the PI I will hire should have the necessary equipment to do his job. Not doing so would be like getting a haircut from a barber with dull scissors. Having the requisite skills and the tools are always need in any field, not just in the case of private investigators.

No problem with going steady too, as long as you start it right and use your head. william: I agree that trust is earned. These days, you really can’t be too sure, unless you really got to know the person for awhile before you went steady. Doing a background check is a win-win situation, because if your find something, then you know she isn’t worth it, but if not, then you know you can trust her. automaton: Well, if casual arrangements work for you, then there’s really no problem with that.

Not that I’m saying that all women here in Thailand are like that, but it never really hurts to be safe. You don’t lose anything having a girl checked out before you pursue something more serious; if there’s no dirt, then you got yourself some peace of mind and a greater sense of security. Trust nowadays should be earned, not simply given. I also suggest trying out a test, like putting out bait for her to steal, that sort of thing.

I really can say that I know what you’re saying is true. I’ve seen so many of my mates get reeled in by all of this bullshit from girls. No big fiascos though, but just losing something to these lowlifes is still a loss, even if you can afford it. That’s just foolish and stupid. Good thing my mates listen to me now, and they are all enjoying the benefits – safely, I hope – of the casual arrangements you mentioned. Now that’s a real practical thing to do.

But as the other commenter said, it’s a learning experience. I hope that your case gets resolved in the future and that you find a good agency to take the case for you. philosophize71: Thank you for taking the time to read the article. And yes, with no case being alike, you cannot imagine the possibilities for things to go wrong. You can’t predict how a case will go or how a lead will pan out, and it’s easy to get frustrated or flustered and just give up.

Too bad. But at least you learned something from the experience. I haven’t personally experienced or needed the services of a PI, but reading this I realize what kind of stakes are involved and I appreciate the kind of job you guys do more. And I really agree with what you wrote here – especially the determination part. Just reading that game me a lot of ideas where something could go wrong and stall things, and without determination, it’s so easy to just give up. Well, martin, just chalk it all up to experience.

It is so easy to get swayed and hooked with just the price they’re asking. But as time lagged on, I could tell they really didn’t have any idea of what they were doing. I’m no expert, but I’d like to think I’m smart enough to know when I’m just being led on. Not once were they straight with me – at the start I was hopeful, but hearing the same old reassurances all the time just got too old for me. The case remains unsolved, but I don’t regret that I pulled the plug on them when I did. I have had really bad experiences with a private investigation agency before.
