Hope everyone is well this evening,

Beleive it or not, this post was intended tor laymen also as well as tech's. This is all very simple....including the prints.

If you do find a battery operated BUG, you can effectively tell when it was placed in the location.

You'll have to test the bug by measuring the the amount of current is left in the battery using a digital multi-meter. Then place a fresh battery in the unit and count the hours untill it reaches the level of the old battery.

Carefull of disturbing evidence. (fingerprints on the battery)

Best this to do a quick check of battery life outstanding. Then....leave it alone. If there is a 1.5 volt battery and it's down to .3 volts.....chances are, even without knowing its "draw" that it's time to change the battery.

Would you like to bet that someone will be back to change that battery??

Find a bug, check the voltage, document it, set up a hidden camera to it and invite the neightbors to watch on a Friday night as "the bad guy" changes the battery on the "bug".

Every act of surveillance........deserves and act of counter surveillance.

Did I mention prints??

You can effectively do your own prints. It's not Usable in court if your a layman....but it is very simple to make comparisons between the target print's and the suspect.

Go for THUMB print comparisons. You use your THUMB more than any other finger. It has the most wear and tear and the most "scratches and dents".

One more on prints.......

MY prints clearly say "This man works with his hands".

What do your prints tell you? How about your "Marks"?

Look forward to the following in the next week or so:
  1. FINALLY! The Master Lock (combination) has been FIGURED OUT (on my own) and it is VERY simple.....just very difficult to explain. Ill try my best.
  2. "Possibly" unvailing a special project. (you like this) (still seeking vendors and sponsors. Contact me privately for details) Badcoffee@aol.com

>A man loses his job just before the holidays. In desperation, he decides he will kidnap a child for ransom. He goes to the school yard, pulls a young boy behind a bush and composes the following note:

I have kidnapped your child. I am sorry I had to do this, but I am desperate. I am a Texas A&M graduate and I have lost everything. Leave $40,000 in unmarked bills under the bush at the schoolyard in a brown paper bag tomorrow. If you leave the money, I will not harm your child.

He then pins the note to the child's shirt and sends him home. The next day, he checks the bush. Sure enough, there is a brown paper bag under it, with $40,000 in unmarked bills. Pinned to the bag is a note:

I can't believe that one Aggie would do this to another!
