Giving up my mini mission I decided to try and look forward in my life although we
were still in contact I was basically facing Jail for breaking my bail conditions
everyday but I didn’t care at all .. not one bit as I needed to know but decided to
put it on the back burner to focus on myself!
Derek who worked for me at the yard was around a lot and would always check in
with me nearly every day .. I would also notice new people around the caravan
park… Ashley did warn me that you get the odd person who would wander past
and come up and nose about to see what the statics were like, I noticed the same
faces over and over and I would get a sense of a feeling that I was being watched.
. you get taught these things by the army from certain courses you did .. so being
aware of these new people around and they were new as I would ask the parks
residents about these new people I realised that no one knew them at all .. very
odd and very strange indeed!
So chatting to Derek about looking to get away in the sun i suggested that we go
together and make it a lads holiday but he needed a few weeks to save up and he
would book time off work .. I offered to pay for him as he had always been loyal in
the yard and for all his long hours and it was a thanks and he could pay me back
over time. So that was agreed, and we looked at a break we would both
remember… I was so looking forward to getting on that plane and leaving the
country to head to somewhere that you feel the heat of your new surroundings
when you step off the aircraft .. we looked at Cuba , India and then he mentioned
Croatia , I have never been to any of them places so we drew a straw on them and
the outcome was CROATIA , and we would look to be going the month later
together …
My spider senses were always on alert as the more and more I looked into Katie I
felt I was being looked into ..
It was so odd and I was so adamant that it was happening that I invested in
another top of the range laptop for some reasons including audio and a visual
studio. So I had three laptops now and they could all do different things I looked
profusely at spy cameras and all sorts of gadgets that I could hide about when I
wasn’t at the caravan.
There was valid reasons for all my paranoid counter surveillance as I would set
little hardly noticeable traps .. something as little as a coat hanger on the window
handle facing a certain way with a black Sharpie marking the direction it was put
on .. I would put some baking flour behind a door in a line that was half closed so it
was marking the door location ..
I used to religiously close all windows and other doors to ensure that it wasn’t the
wind or something else inside although Dexter was always with me!
I would often go out for a walk if I was up early afternoon or hadn’t much sleep and
these odd things not troubled me but interested me .. and a lot!!
I couldn’t figure it out… Derek, Matthew and Gemma couldn’t either or any of my
friends that came over at the time I lived there .. it felt like a game of cat and
mouse somehow .. I would often pretend to be sleeping in bed while lying under
the covers and I would just bolt out of the bed and run through the caravan and

out the side door and 9/10 someone would be just getting over the fence at the
back and running up the lane or a van door would shut and speed off .. most of
the time I thought it was the lads on the site who I knew me wondering if I was up
and when I’ve woken I’m like a bear with a sore head until I come around, I wanted
to believe it was something trivial… but it was too much of it going on around me ?
I had troubles with the front door lock mechanism several times although I
changed the locks and they were normally fine unless my Spidey senses were
tripped !! In my mind I was against the caravan firstly, but it was only a year old it
couldn’t be a list of things breaking down it was just to many?
When my spy gear arrived from Amazon I set to work setting up all the micro
cameras which were the size of my thumb and they had a magnet on the back so
once fully charged they could pick up movement while I was out! Sometimes while
searching the web, it was like the mouse icon on my laptop went rouge and
wouldn’t save a certain photo I took of someone suspicious and then it would
delete the original file on an SD card. Knowing something was going on I down
powered the laptop with the SD card inside and being frustrated I would take
Dexter woof woof for a walk to clear my head! This was the point I knew there was
strange goings on because on that occasion of me being frustrated I came back
with a fresh head after a walk over the fields and the SD was gone and the laptop
was moved from its usual place! I then had confirmation that I was under
surveillance! But who was it?
Gareth had been in my life a long time, an ex-royal marine who was bat shit crazy who I
used to spend a lot of time with .. Mainly as we were both off our heads .. we always got
on and helped each other get by in life al being troubled we had each other’s backs! And
always!
We lived in each other’s pockets at times and both worked away in our careers after the
military but in different jobs .. he worked on the oil rigs when I went in the security
systems game, I had a call off him about 1800 after I just got up .. he said he would come
over to check up on me .. I said I was fine and I was out walking woof woof down the sea
front but he was adamant on checking up on me .. so I said I’ll meet you back over the
caravan and we will have a catch up .. I turned up and he wasn’t there so I had a line and
opened a can wondering what I should have for breakfast after my big sleep all day ..
Gareth turned up and immediately said ” you need to sleep bro? ” I said I haven’t long got
up ! He said I looked terrible and I said the same back to him as it looked like he had been
dug up! He went on about giving up the cocaine and my response was that every person
who tells me that always asks if I have any and always does it in front of me whatever the
case is! The saying ” falling on deaf ears comes to mind * after his rant about me not
sleeping and eating hot meals he chilled out and I looked at him and thought saying the
same back to him!
As he was ex special forces soldier and an ops team operations member, I picked his brain
of the surrounding surveillance on me! Was it in my head or was it real as it didn’t seem a
full-on operation it seemed like they were moving things around, fucking my head up with
games making me feel unforgettable and all over the place with my surroundings! He had
no idea so we chit chat about the goings on and what or who it could be?
I starting searching online again and showed him the anti-counter surveillance equipment I
had .. he was intrigued to say the least and then said it’s in your head bro! Why would

anyone want to survey you that’s a lot of resources just to see what you’re up to .. after all I
was semi-retired and not up to any good? We sat there and I was showing him my CCTV
that I had rigged up to my caravan, a nice little 4 camera HD IP system and noticing on the
playback there was missing parts to the time frames .. there were gaps of recording but
when I clicked on the playback it said error. Playback not known.
As I hadn’t worked in the industry for a couple of years so I couldn’t work it out and
seemed rusty going through the settings and system log .. one of my closest friends from
the industry was to have a call from me and ask ” Luke fill me in on the gaps of a system
settings? ” I’ve known Luke for many years and class him as one of my closest friends
although we live hours apart we bonded at a security systems company many years ago
and have stayed close ever since .. Luke filled me in on how the new systems work within
hard drive capacity and the systems incorporated software .. I realised I was rusty on the
tech game within the industry… it seemed to be gaps in the recording at the strange times
things were happening… It baffled me .. once thing that confused me more was that the two
EE Wi-Fi boxes I had through the business never lasted an hour although I had 60gb on
each .. I would only use the EE boxes for my laptop but what seemed like a flash the whole
data on both would be gone .. I complained and they said it was simple .. the data was
being used fast and my devices were the main surge of uses .. I had to buy more data on
the remote top Wi-Fi boxes and turn everything off just to try and trace what was using my
data and after spending time turning things on and off the data was being used?? I was
confused because my Bluetooth was always on but I’d turn it off and they would come
back on with no intervention by me .. so anyway I’m sitting there on the floor watching the
CCTV with Gareth and the whole system just shuddered and the pictures were all wavey ..
as this happened there was a presence outside the caravan… it was like something or
someone went past and shut down my CCTV as I was looking at it on my large HD TV .. it
was that quick like a switch was turned on and stopped my system recording and the
visuals even live pictures went blurred… I raced out and seen a vehicle drive off up the
road .. I ran after it as I was convinced that car was reason my CCTV was tampered with,
but it was gone .. going back to Gareth I said what had happened as it was a strange thing
to happen to my CCTV while searching for entry to my caravan… it felt like whoever was
watching me didn’t want me to look at the CCTV .. it also dawned on me that as we were
alone in the caravan so how did anyone know I was searching through the history on
playback !!
All eyes were on me and those eyes could either see through walls or they had eyes on me
inside ???
I looked around and couldn’t see anything obvious but remembering buying some Spy
cameras online I noticed you could buy spy cameras that came in all shapes and sizes..
some could blend in like everyday house electric items!!
Looking about the space of my home with Gareth I tried to notice something which or
what was out of place, something different… There was plug ins for my electronic
equipment that I hadn’t seen before so I grabbed them to look closely and after opening
them up it was confirmed they were listening devices as I scanned the insides with Google
image search, the same ones I had seen previously in a spy gadget website…!
The fuckers I yelled!!! They ARE surveilling me? I called Matthew and Gemma and asked
them did they notice that there was several smoke and carbon monoxide detectors all along
the roof of the main living area .. his reply was I think there was one mate as it went off

while cooking you a bacon sandwich one morning but that was weeks ago! I said to him on
the phone that there were now several to which he replied there was definitely only one
mate, and it was a smoke detector!
The devices which were there now were all smart carbon monoxide detectors and they
were not only in the living area they were right through the caravan .. I thought fuck this
and yanked one off to inspect it .. I had the device in the kitchen unit and looked at it
closely while taking it apart very closely… I couldn’t believe my eyes as it was close to
something I had worked on but the internal components didn’t match the insides of a
Google image they were indeed spy internal hidden cameras with a microphone and also a
transmitter relaying the signal on a small aerial built inside .. confused to say the least I
ripped down all the others and my fears were confirmed! I was being watched and listened
too in my own home!
There was in total eight spy cameras I found whilst hidden in disguise as
household items .. I grabbed my toolbox and went through everything that was
unfamiliar to me… I would crunch and snap things apart with big pliers and then
once the components were out in the floor next to me I would Google image
search the part numbers and the parts that made these spy equipment work ..
once I thought I found everything I said to Gareth .. ” Mate I am under surveillance
and that is a fact now!! “He agreed that as it was too much spy equipment in such
a close proximity… there was something definitely not right about it .. all the
strange goings on for a harassment charge? Was it the police? Was it HRMC or
had someone hired a private eye company to monitor me?
As I’m studying the spyware I seen an ambulance pull up outside but it had tinted
windows .. I thought an ambulance with tinted windows .. can’t be? I sneaked out
the side of the caravan door to get a better look through the windscreen of the
ambulance… I saw 2 men dressed in black but could not make out there faces
clearly with the blaring headlights .. I also noticed that it was old and had very little
sign writing, nothing like the NHS have .. I ran back in to see Gareth in total panic
.. I yelled they are coming to take me mate, the fuckers who are watching me are
going to take US as we have just found all their surveillance equipment apart so
the game is up so to speak ..
I grabbed Dexter and 2 of the ripped apart spy cams to take with me to hide
somewhere away from the caravan as it was proof I was being watched.
Running out of the door I noticed there is 2 ambulances now, one behind one
another out there and looking identical… my thoughts were like ” fuuuuucccckkkkk
” they are here in force to snatch me and in a flash I had Dexter with me running
down the lane to get into the darkness to run up alongside the river .. I didn’t even
grab money or my phone as I got out that quick, only thing I noticed was Gareth
saying to me he was going to hide in one of the bedrooms .. I was gone .. gone
into the darkness of the riverbank .. I was sweating profusely and stopped on a
vantage point that you can see the main road from there was the 2 ambulances
now starting coming around in my direction with torches shining into the dark night
.. I kept low with Dexter just observing there movements and they were gone .. just
like that! I walked up alongside the river towards the caravan, and it was too much
light around my caravan area and thought it was ‘ them ‘ so Gareth was left there
as I run away from the caravan towards the huge industrial estate across the river.

Once I was off the main road, I headed towards the scrap yerd with two ripped
apart spy cameras disguised as smoke alarms… I ran and ran and then I thought I
would head to Derek’s as he always said that if I was in trouble I could go to his
and he told me where the spare key was hidden out the back garden .. this
ambulance sort of followed me around on its own as I only ever saw one after I
fled .. keeping very low I went to the traveller’s site to ask for help! As it was gone
midnight all the lights were off in the caravans on the site .. I knocked and knocked
looking for anyone I knew .. no one answered at all firstly although all their dogs
were barking like mad .. Jimmy gilhearnys son came to the window and wasn’t
happy but I explained to him that I was being followed by someone and they were
going to snatch me… he couldn’t believe such a thing could happen but I knew it
was happening but he wouldn’t help .. I begged him please let me borrow your car
to get to the yard or too his cousin my former partner Andy .. he could t help and
said goodbye and shut the door .. at this point I walked slowly out of the traveller
site and found a bungie cord on the side of a van so used that as a lead for Dexter
who was barking and growling at certain things… once I had him restrained and I
could control him I headed for the main roads to get to Derek’s and then onto the
yard .. it was early hours and it was cold .. making my way through the streets I
was in and out of gardens when I car was heard .. it seemed like ages but we got
to Derek’s and all his lights were off .. I didn’t know if he was working away or not
so I knocked softly at his front door, no lights came on at all so I headed around
the back and tried his back door .. it was open! I was over the moon as I shook the
ambulance tail and I sat on his kitchen floor in the dark holding Dexter close while
listening for anything… my heart was racing and being so dehydrated we sat there
gulping down loads of tap water .. sitting there wondering who they were and why?
Why was all this attention on me?
I needed transport to get me away from the area to go where I don’t know but it
was better than being on foot with a dog on a camping bungie cord. Derek had a
few vehicles on his drive as he was always buying and selling the odd car or van
so I started looking through his draws and looking for keys that were hung up .. I
found a massive bunch of all mixed up keys on one keyring… I went upstairs to
look out his top window for a vantage point of looking down the road for any tails
that may have followed me and it was a vantage point that if any cars or
ambulances were there I would see them coming with the headlights… I opened
the window to give me an advantage in hearing them, i gave it ten mins and I
could hear or see nothing.
I went out to the battered vans and cars on his drive but the bunch of keys didn’t fit
any of them ..
Fuck!!! I went back inside to gather myself together… sort of compose and calm
down from my beating heart beat from the chase I had !
I thought there must be keys here to fit one of the vehicles outside .. must be!
So I thought I’d start looking through the draws just looking for keys .. I noticed that
he had Viagra in every draw nearly .. and I mean packs and packs of the strips of
ten all bundled together in elastic bands .. he had 1000’s which I thought was odd,
I knew he had tried escort work as a male and did the odd swinger party… but he
had more than I had ever seen .. no wonder he was always skint all his money

must have been spent on Viagra .. he didn’t have a missus so i didn’t get the
volume of the tablets.
I gave up looking for a key and left one spy camera and a note stating what had
happened that night and to keep this safe as if I’m missing you know I was here
last , it started to get light so I headed to the yard along the main road which
made me uneasy ..
As I grabbed my keys which I took with me I realised I had the yard keys on there
.. for the gate and the main door to the office so I ran down the main road and up
onto the ind Est with Dexter in tow. I was so relieved to get to the yard it was now
0600 and I wrote another note and left the other spy camera on the desk for Andy
.. I grabbed the keys for the recovery truck and pulled it outside .. but I didn’t know
where to go right then as I was drained .. I couldn’t go back to the caravan as I
didn’t know what had happened over there after I left .. was Gareth still there or
was he taken?
