Hi all,

My DH works in security, he often brings home some toys to play with and I usually take the piss, however suprisingly some of these things actually work.

They are available to the general public but I know they are not cheap to buy however I wanted to show you that they are avaialble to anyone who wanted to play detective on their own.

I am not making anything out of this just wanted to make you aware that there are things that could help you.

Hubby has played with both these things and they do actually work.

How depressing

Knickers0nMaHead · 22/01/2010 12:46

Really? Very very sad.

hf128219 · 22/01/2010 12:46

Anyone with a brain cell will know these sort of things exist already.

lighthouse · 22/01/2010 12:47

Is that right? not everybody, that is a generalisation chick!

well if you are looking for ways to "trap" people then you will have already looked at those kind of things.

SmallShips · 22/01/2010 12:51

how would you convince someone to walk around with a crappy, old mobile phone and a large pen? Doesn't seem like an easy way of catching someone out.

hf128219 · 22/01/2010 12:51

You hear about them on TV, magazines, newspapers. Or you can just google it. You know 'spyware'.

lighthouse · 22/01/2010 12:52

Bugger! I should have included "however you may already know about these things so please ignore my post if you do" hows that then??

That's better chick.

I always wanted night vision goggles.

lighthouse · 22/01/2010 12:53

amazing what you can do with those!!

hf128219 · 22/01/2010 12:54

I didn't even open the links. Are they very, very high tech?

Is dh allowed to take them home? What sort of security are we talking about it?

lighthouse · 22/01/2010 12:56

I am not telling you that, nut these are things he has bought to play with bit of a gadget geek. The pen has a camera in it and can be left in the car same as the phone the owner can then dial into it and hear what is being said

spelling mistake not calling you a nut

SmallShips, I always walk around with an old mobile phone and a large pen on my person. (Well, in my handbag when I go out, at least.) Had the phone, at least, while I was still married - ooh, maybe I should look at it rather more suspiciously... no, no, I bought it myself, it couldn't be. Could it?

hf128219 · 22/01/2010 12:57

That's amazing. Wow.

lighthouse · 22/01/2010 12:58

So is your sarcasm

hf128219 · 22/01/2010 12:59

Thanks. I'm glad you like it.

Ladyscratt Yawns at the childishness of hf128219

hf128219 · 22/01/2010 13:49

These gadgets that are displayed are rather childish and amateur.

I was expecting coca cola cans with built in GPS.

morningpaper · 22/01/2010 13:50

chick?

IcedBum · 22/01/2010 13:55

I think if your trust is sufficiently broken down that you resort to amateur surveillance equipment it might just possibly be time to get your arse out of the relationship.

Anniegetyourgun · 22/01/2010 13:57

It's a regional thing, MP.

Hullygully · 22/01/2010 14:30

I am a private detective, but I've got better stuff.

OnlyWantsOneFartleBerry · 22/01/2010 14:38

LOl I just like that its a real pen that actually works.... thank goodness for that
