22 Private Investigators Confess To The Weirdest, Most Messed Up Cases They Ever Had

21. A “Monster” Case

I’ve been a P.I. for about 3 years – mostly for disability fraud, no cheating wives or anything. Coolest/strangest thing I observed was a low-level criminal (who was supposed to be disabled), who would spend all day going from Walmart to Walmart.

In each Walmart, he would fill the shopping cart full to the brim with energy drinks (Monster I think), walk briskly out the door without paying, throw them in his trunk, and take off like a bat out of hell.

At the end of the day, he sold a trunk-load of energy drinks to a corner store and I videotaped him walking out with a wad of cash.

Definitely not as exciting as the movies, but it was a fun day for me.

22. A Laundry List Of Weirdness

I am a private investigator and I have came across many cases. I will label a few of them.

● A police department in a small town in the Appalachian Mountains wanted me to keep an eye on an old lady.

● A manager at a Walmart in Indiana wanted me to watch a couple of employees because he thought they were talking about him behind his back.

● A retirement home hired me to watch one of their tenants, the tenant was a 90 year old lady with Epilepsy, but the pay was great though :)

● A casino in Reno hired me to watch everyone who uses a certain slot machine.

● A trucking company made me follow one of their drivers, who was pulling a shipping container from Salt Lake City to Ottawa.

● A factory manager hired me to watch his employees whIle he jacked off furiously in his office.

● A tenant of an apartment building hired me to watch his landlord, who also hired me to watch the tenant.

The weirdest one of all? A Donald Trump supporter hired me to watch his neighbor because he was convinced his neighbor was “A Soviet”.
