Of
course a good snoop job requires the use of some useful tools. Harmon
has two tape recorders (in case one fails), binoculars, shirts in different
colours and masks, all within easy reach. He also has two handphones and
three pagers that are switched on 24 hours a day. And at any one time,
get this, he keeps as many as six different cameras, some with lenses
as tiny as a match head. " I don't smoke and I don't drink but when
the need calls for it, I can pretend to be drunk or light up a cigarette
when actually my handy gadget (a mini camera disguised as a lighter) is
taking a photo of the suspect beside me,"
he added. Photographic evidence, Harmon says, is the strongest evidence
he can produce for his client.
As
he goes about gathering information, eavesdropping and snooping on behalf
of his
clients, Harmon comes across the kind of stuff that you would only see
in Hollywood movies.
As a private eye, he has taken countless pictures of adulterous couples
deep in action and investigated countless cases -like the man who made
his wife have sex with other men while he watched, the parents who saved
their daughter's marriage, the couple who made love on a roof-top carpark
and the steamy lesbian affair that turned sour. He also tells of a case
where a young woman engaged him nine times to check out her potential
suitors. " Unfortunately, when I found the ideal person for her,
she was so thrilled that she shared the so-called good news with him,
and he dropped her like a hot brick," he said, recalling the amusing
outcome of his hardwork. Harmon also laid an ambush once at a trading
company, when its CEO engaged him out of desperation to find out why stocks
were going missing. He also went under cover as a vagabond to trail an
errant Caucasian husband, and disguised himself as a 'kacang puteh' seller
while on another stakeout.
