Nervous Wreck

Great story from 17 years ago!

Miaireland

17 years ago. Seriously research basic Law and time limits to take a case and appeal a ruling.

Beyondgone

I preferred Jake 'J.J' Gittes.

His role was better written and had paragraphs.

Well, is he ok?

DREW
Sort of. He broke both his wrists, his legs, a couple of ribs, his back. But check it out. He's gonna get a huge settlement out of this.

Like seven figures. He's getting out of the hospital this weekend and he's throwing a big party to celebrate. I'm thinking I'm gonna take
that new chick from Logistics.
I might be showing her my O face.

The elderly man also made official complaint to gardai for trespassing on private property and stalking harassment against the private eye.

This is why I deliberately renamed my WiFi to 'Garda Surveillance Van No. 2".

I knew we have the fine line between TLDR and multiple short instalments but an abridged full story would be appreciated.

When, I say appreciated, I don't really want to know but it would save us all a lot of grief and wasted time.

What colour jacket did the PI wear, was it a Duster, tell me it was a Duster.

maudgonner

What he didn't know was that the Maltese Falcon was hidden at the back of the hot press the whole time.

Barry Badrinath

Its like every second word is missing and the third and forth word are reversed.

Iv no problem with dyslexia or whatever you have OP but it doesnt help when you are spouting shyyyyte all the time.

After all this searching and private surveillance it turns out that Shergar was just in his stable all this time.

Why on earth would a PI put a listening device in the porch??? What do you mean with a wire? Was the wire leading to the van? :pac:

PIs are used all the time, by debt collectors, personal injury solicitors and you will NEVER know, nevermind have a bug planted in your porch!

Boom_Bap

I've done a bit of PI work on the 17 year old scenario in the OP. I've managed to track down the PI.

Cobblers. A crowd I know hired a posh one to follow a lad suspected of being naughty. Naughty boy drove off, Dick tailing a few cars back.. Naughty boy gets out in stopped traffic, 5 miles later, walks back and goes "If you keep following me, I'm heading up the mountains and you're not coming back", walked to his car and drove off. Dick went off the assignment.

Plenty of people are utterly paranoid and spend their life looking behind them/at every parked car/parked van/changing phones. They very often do "know".

It's not cobblers at all. There are plenty of people being watched and they have no clue.

I can't sleep thinking about the van with covert under cover operations written all over it....
Its parked in my drive I knew something wasn't right.

Shall I offer them some tea.

What are you trying to say OP, that the council hired this PI so they can see if he did actually hurt himself and deserved the money, or what?

Yes and NO the council hired the PI. But the poor older gentleman broke his hand and had medical evidence X-rays to prove this so why was the council and the PI Staking and Harassment to this older gentleman was it to bully him to drop his civil case against the council ?.

Id say part of his claim is that his enjoyment of life was affected by his injuries, he can't carry bags or heavy things. And they're there to catch him out. I don't think they're reports are allowed as evidence in court, I think the defendants barrister can just ask questions based on what they've found out
