Sneaky Tip Friday

Today we are talking trash. No, not the kind of trash that spews from peoples mouths. Were talking about garbage. Did you know that some of us sneaky private investigators will snag someone's garbage the night before trash pickup to see what kind of info we can find out about them?

I know your thinking OMG HOW GROSS!! Well yea, at times it can be rather gross, but there are times that we have to do it. Don't worry rubber gloves are always a necessaity!! When we have exhausted all efforts during an investigation the final step is usually a garbage pull. P.I.'s are not the only ones that utilize this little tactic. A lot of agencies from the IRS, police and FBI will often do this too. Im not trying to make you paranoid but it is true.

Why? Well your garbage will probably tell us more information about you than you even think. Likes and dislikes in food, cosmetics you use, medications you may be taking, personal correspondences, bank statements, who's names are on utility bills, where you shop at etc...

For every person who thinks this technique will not work, I challenge you to go through your own trash for a one week period. Write down everything that you can conclude about your household. Are you now considering burning your trash?
