Private Eyes

If you want to catch a cheater, we found a private eye who's willing to tell us what he looks for...

If you're suspicious someone's cheating on you, you may not need a private eye to catch them. P.I. Vito Colucci says you can usually do it on your own, and he's got some of the common warning signs of an affair:

• 
  
  Suddenly working lots of overtime, especially in the evenings.

• 
  
  New efforts to look better, exercise, buying new clothes or a sudden new style.

• 
  
  Picking fights in the evening, then storming off for hours.

• 
  
  Frequently closing Internet sites as a partner approaches.

Also, keep your eye on the money. Unusual cash withdrawals or an increase of purchases can be a red flag. Colucci says, when in doubt, phone the location where your partner claims to be, not the cell phone. Ask for them by name, but if they ARE there, be prepared with a legitimate reason for calling on a land line.
