[M582]Modern Day Prodigal Son

by Art Gib, Art

A PI is trained to be very savvy with their research methods. Despite film noir movie depictions of a PI as a man sporting a fedora and a 5 o' clock shadow in smoky office with a bucksome blonde wanting their husband spied on, they are in actuality men and women who spend a good deal of their time doing the legwork from a computer.

The Bureau of Security and Investigative Services give five points to what a PI does:

- Someone who investigates crimes
- Investigates identity, whether it is a finding the person, finding the true character of the person, their occupation or business
- Investigates the location of property, lost or stolen
- Finds the causes of fires, losses, accidents, damage or injury
- Secures evidence for use in court

Investigators work in various sectors so the work can be very specific according to who they do work for. For instance, detectives who work for insurance agencies will often look into personal claims and the legitimacy therein. If someone is trying to defraud the agency then the detective may do some surveillance on foot with a camera, or do a background check to see if there was any past record of fraud.

There is a great deal of office work that goes into investigation. Aside from making frequent phone calls, an investigator uses a great deal of internet searching, especially for background searches. Investigators use some diverse and available search sites. From Social Networking sites like MySpace to city records posted online, there is little running around as a gumshoe anymore when the info is at the tip of the fingers.

Searching Locally: An Orange County Example

There is quite a good deal of revealing information that is posted on local state or federal government sites. For instance, an Orange County private investigator can visit the county's California Criminal index online to view any citations or criminal court proceedings that have been logged and documented as far back as 1988. This gives great material for background checks or finding patterns in habits or criminal recidivism. Sites like these are often available to anyone online for free.

They are not specific to government workers or licensed private investigators in Orange County by example. There are layers of search levels the investigator can peruse through: federal, state to county records; a private investigator in Newport Beach (within Orange County) can find information specific to that city within a city records search.

Also, with the advent of web 2.0 and social networking sites and blogs, the false sense of privacy is often exhibited by the public at large who daily leave a cyber trail wake that makes investigations less intensive.

One attraction no tourist to the city should ever miss is the Leicester Market. With history going back almost 700 years and also with the prestigious title of being Europe's largest covered market, it is always a hive of activity. As you stroll through the market you will see people from all corners of the globe. It has the most varied ethnic mixture of people throughout England and the United Kingdom.

Look through the stalls and experience unusual mixtures of vegetables and exotic fruits from around the world, not forgetting to seek out the excellent fish market in the Market Centre for a mouth-watering array of quality fresh fish and other foods.

Just outside the city centre is the Beaumont Leys Market - a popular local market within Beaumont Leys Shopping Centre, opened in 1984 and still growing rapidly.

New Walk Museum and Art Gallery are situated within the historic New Walk area of the city. In 1849 the Literary and Philosophical Society formally presented to the town its various collections, which have grown and developed over the last 150 years into one of the premier museums in the region.

New Walk Museum has been the inspiration for many people including Lord Attenborough and Sir David Attenborough, who pursued their love of art and natural history as a result of spending their formative years as regular visitors to the galleries. You can spend hours looking at a wide variety of art from Leicester and all over the world.

Leicester's oldest museum has wide-ranging collections spanning the natural and cultural world. The museum has a coffee shop, and is also a venue for musical performances and weddings. This museum is very popular with tourists especially when the weather is not too good outside!

Leicester's Guildhall is a very old timber framed building that once acted as the town hall for the city. The building dates from the 15th century (parts are earlier), and is in the old walled city on a street now known as Guildhall Lane. The Guildhall is a Grade I Listed Building, and the surrounding area, also including the Cathedral of St Martin's and is a conservation area.

Belgrave Hall provides an oasis of peace and quiet in a busy city. It was built in the early 18th century, in what was then a small village 3 miles from the town of Leicester. Now city traffic passes, almost unnoticed, just beyond the garden walls. It has changed hands many times but the owners have always played a major role in the economic, social and charitable life of the community.

The city of Leicester is an ideal place to discover England. It is easily accessible by road and rail. It has its own railway station which provides regular and reliable train service to the rest if England.

It is just over an hour by car to London, Birmingham and Manchester. Leicester has a great rail service and you are within an hour's reach of most of England's heartland.

Leicester is only twenty minutes away from Midlands Airport and only ninety minutes from Stanstead and Heathrow Airports.

The Leicester people pride themselves on making tourists feel welcome in their city. Make sure that when you visit England you also spend a few days in one of England's oldest towns.
