The ex-boyfriend crossing paths with the current partner on her way home, a picture of a naked man from the neck down found on her phone, “girls’ nights” every week – all of this seemed strange to Andreas R. from Esslingen am Neckar. His partner’s explanations appeared to him to be hastily improvised excuses. For this reason, Andreas R. contacted the detectives of our detective agency for Stuttgart and requested surveillance of his partner by one of our private investigators the next time she mentioned a “ladies’ night”.
On the morning before the planned surveillance, our client informed the operations management that his partner claimed to be going to see The Martian starring Matt Damon together with a friend. By chance, Mr R. had also found two online tickets for exactly that film in the Gloria cinema on Königstraße in Stuttgart. The detective agency therefore immediately booked an additional ticket for the assigned investigator and managed to secure a seat diagonally behind the target person with a good view of her activities.
To maintain discretion, the surveillance was not to begin at the target person’s home but only in the cinema itself – since the client’s budget covered only one investigator, compromises had to be made. Mr R. counted on his partner actually showing up for the cinema visit.
When the client of our Stuttgart detective agency texted to report that his partner was now getting ready to go out, the investigator went to the cinema and kept the entrance area under observation. The screening had already begun – the commercials were over, the last trailers were playing – when the target person rushed into the cinema with an unknown man and entered the auditorium. Both took the seats indicated on the printed tickets. Our private detective waited a few moments before slipping into his own seat at a loud moment in the film to avoid drawing attention.
The darkened 3D glasses made observation somewhat difficult, but from his favourable position, the observer could keep both targets clearly in sight. They shared a small bag of popcorn; no other notable behaviour was seen at first. When the film’s main character, Mark Watney, was hit by flying debris during a Martian storm and disappeared into the darkness, the client’s partner flinched and clung to her companion, who remained unmoved.
The film’s surprisingly humorous protagonist frequently elicited loud laughter from the target person, who often sought eye contact with her companion – apparently reciprocated – and laughed along with him more quietly. The two appeared very familiar to our Stuttgart private investigator.
In the calmer midsection of the film, the man placed his arm around the target person, who nestled against him. When Mark Watney, in a spectacular rescue manoeuvre, grabbed the hand of his commander in Mars orbit and escaped certain death, the woman removed her glasses and kissed her companion on the mouth. During the end credits, they continued to kiss and exchange further affection.
After the film, the couple went to a bar on Königstraße for a drink. Sitting close together, they exchanged intimate looks, kissed, and touched each other discreetly.
When leaving the bar, they quickly boarded a city bus that the investigator narrowly missed. Fortunately, several taxis were waiting nearby, and our detective followed the bus immediately. A few stops later, the couple disembarked and entered a residential building arm in arm. The investigator noted the address and photographed the doorbell panel. After consulting with the client, he ended the surveillance.
The next day, the investigator met with Andreas R. to review the results of the surveillance. The client, who had not previously had a picture of his partner’s ex-boyfriend, confirmed that the unknown man was indeed that same ex-partner. Thus, the surveillance by our Stuttgart detective agency confirmed that the client’s partner was engaged in an affair with her former boyfriend.
