Having just read the new article sent in the newsletter, I have to wonder: who hires a “private eye” and what does it cost? I would love to read some 1st hand accounts of people that needed one.
An American friend did some ‘work’ for one, in San Jose and he was looking for the ‘agent’ who had ‘taken advantage of new comers, and who thought they had bought a property, then found out it belonged to someone else…’

There is one gringo firm here and they charge $300 per day plus expenses. You could hire an OIJ guy on his days off but they too charge $300 plus expenses and in my experience were simply incompetent (they askd for information from a neighbour who then told the person being watched!) I tried another tico guy who charges only $150 per day but he lied about his work hours and then took an advance payment for a “special” service and then promptly disappeared – in sumamry I should have gone with the gringos, the Ticos will give you very poor service and tell you whatever they think you want to hear, and lie to you, and steal your money, but that’s true generally here. I find that mans word is rarely his bond here. in fact it’s quite the opposite.
Hire a bar tender. They can find out far more than any oIJ guy.
So could Helen Keller.:lol:
Doesn’t make sense in CR, everybody is lying and/or has thousands excuses 😉

I guess I have much more faith in bartenders than cops.
At least their job involves things to be proud of.:shock:
