The crime has been committed and i am still smarting from the comment by my Wife on the inappropriate location of said items; I.E. the freezer and the implication that this was not the place to keep a frozen dairy item! After sulking in the garden and swearing at the plants, wall, bin and the dog i feel i bit better and also slightly guilty for swearing at the dog, who at the time gave me a look of “what you having a go at me for! do you think i can open the freezer with these paws? and incidentally if i could it would be the beefburgers that would be missing”  kind of look. 

Now i know what your thinking, its only an ice cream, but its the principal that matters and the fact that i am getting the run around off my nearest and dearest, the very people i should be able to trust the most (ok maybe not the most seeing as 2 of them are below the age of criminal responsibility, but you get my drift) and being a sensitive kind of guy, this hurts. Time i think to get to the bottom of this, so its a trip to work to pick up a piece of equipment that is going to help me gather the required evidence and also a trip to the shops to pick up some more bait Magnums (Almond in case you were wondering).

Before i go any further i would just like to say that using a covert camera like this one to spy on people may be illegal and i have written this article as a guide, with links to further information to help you decide when and where you are not allowed to use something like this.

The biggest danger with using covert in a personal setting is the recorded audio or more importantly what you may hear on the recorded audio. This can range from the not so bad “yes, i think your right, he is putting weight on” to the slightly worse “There’s a little blue pill you can get him you know” to the devastating “you can call around now, he has gone to work” so be warned.

please note that i only quoted the preceding statements as an example and i am not getting fat.

The scene is set and i have chosen the location for my evidence gathering device (my spy pen) and shouted that i am going to take the dog for a walk and that i would be an hour or so as there is a new Poodle in the area that the dog as expressed an interest in. I have not issued any threats regarding the consequences of anyone touching my; with an emphatic my, Magnums (other dairy products are available,  for example MaxiBons) but i did make sure all suspects were aware of the newly purchased items when i brought them in earlier.

The dog and i had a pleasant walk and the Poodle seemed to meet with his approval  and sticks were exchanged before making our way back home.

Was the trap sprung? Did we catch the culprit? What did the audio tell me about the state of my relationship? find out in my next posting.
