It can get a bit tedious, sitting in an idling car, pulled off to the side of a country road in the pre-dawn hours.
But for Robert Wojtylak, owner of Checkmate Investigation Agency, boredom is just part of the job.
Wojtylak, a licensed private investigator, deals mainly with insurance fraud, doing shifts of surveillance to weed out those who are abusing the worker’s compensation system.
The woman he was tailing on an early morning last week has claimed to have trouble walking. She’s been on workers’ compensation for years, collecting payments while on disability.
About halfway through the four-hour surveillance, Wojtylak got what he was looking for.
