Unveiling the Sleuth’s Secret: The Gadget That Exposes Cheating Hearts

Get ready to see these common items in a different light now that a private investigator has disclosed his methods for catching adulterers.

If you’ve been engrossed in Harlan Coben’s newest Netflix thriller Missing You, you might have imagined that catching a cheater entails a lot of waiting in a vehicle, concealing yourself, and pulling out a long-lens camera when the opportunity arises to obtain evidence.

Nonetheless, a private detective based in Connecticut has recently unveiled the innovative gadget he employs to reveal unfaithfulness.

During a guest spot on the Locked In with Ian Bick podcast, Ray Ranno shared that he frequently utilizes one specific device to reveal infidelity – noting that spying on disloyal partners constitutes ‘approximately 40 percent’ of his workload.

Granted, it still resembles a type of camera, but can you guess the ingenious disguise this camera takes?

Well, it’s a faux coffee cup, of course – an ideal disguise for any scenario, as it doesn’t appear out of the ordinary to see an individual carrying a coffee cup in a vehicle, on the street, in a grocery store, or any retail establishment.

And the private investigator elaborated on how the covert coffee cup camera operates.

He frequently follows suspected cheaters to locations like grocery stores, gas stations, or car washes – pointing out that at times, men will collect their paramour or whoever they are unfaithful with at a car wash before taking them to a bar or another location.

But how does Ranno remain hidden while still capturing footage of the suspect without being noticed? You can’t just pull out your phone and take a picture, can you?

Well, he clarified: “If I walk into a coffee shop, or a grocery store wherever I need to be, I simply remove the lid, switch it on, replace the cap, and it appears as though I’m strolling about with a coffee.

“In the interim, I’m recording everything.”

And the fascinating gadgets don’t end there.

Ranno also mentioned that he employs a ‘key fob’ which contains a concealed camera.

“I have a key fob with a pinhole lens; it has a small SD card within it. I turn it on, attach my keys, and then I simply place it on the bar, sit down, and enjoy a beer while allowing the camera to do its job,” he explained.

Well, perhaps we should all consider abandoning our regular jobs and explore becoming private investigators if it’s that straightforward, right?
