Cheat in Valentine's Day
|
CANDY stores, lingerie boutiques and florist shops aren't the only businesses booming on Valentine's Day. Cupid's arrow has another target -- a cheating heart.
Even in Winnipeg, a sleepy Canadian prairie city, with temperatures so low one can imagine even lust hibernating, Valentine's Day is big business for the love police, or private investigators.
"Valentine's Day is busy. It's busy because it's a day of love," said Janie Duncan, a private investigator with her own team of surveillance sleuths.
Duncan has spent the last dozen Valentine's Days cracking the covers of local Casanovas who choose to romance their sweethearts instead of or in addition to their spouses.
"It's a time where cheaters have to spend time with their lovers and it's not just necessarily one lover, sometimes it's two and sometimes it's three," said Duncan, whose favorite tool of the trade is a video camera hidden in her purse.
On February 14th, Duncan was hired to discreetly tail a suspected wayward husband. The man went to a florist where he bought two bouquets -- one was for his wife, the other for you know who.
Then there was the February 14 when Duncan was commissioned by a mistress to spy on her married lover only to discover the industrious Don Juan did indeed have another sweetie on the side.
While signs of an unfaithful heart -- lipstick-covered collars, unexplained absences, mysterious phone calls -- may start appearing well before mid February, detectives say Valentine's Day is one of the best times to track down a two-timer because someone embroiled in an extra marital affair inevitably feels the urge to rendezvous with their paramour.(SD-Agencies)
