Evicted From McDonalds! - Really!
His house was right across the street of the McDonalds parking lot. Good for me! People coming and going all day provided a good cover. Who would ever pick out my particular vehicle?
After several hours of surveillance, he finally left his house. Naturally, I followed him to various locations. Then he must have been hungry because he chose the very McDonald's - you remember, right across the street from his house - where I had been parked. He went through the drive-thru so I had to park in the parking area.
When he got his order, he left for home. I stayed put and began typing my report. I was in deep concentration when the bang on my window scared me half-witless. Lo and behold, it was an officer who informed me I was to leave McDonalds and never return. Evidently, McDonalds had recently been robbed so the manager, suspicious of me because I had left and then returned, called the cops.
Now if there's anywhere on earth I would have guessed would evict and ban me, it sure wouldn't be friendly old Mac's. Aren't they the ones that want my business? Don't they spend billion$ in advertising just to get my business? Hey, you have to park where you can in this business.
The claimant never suspected he was being followed. So it wasn't that hard to park on his street and resume surveillance. But to tell you the truth, my feelings were a bit damaged knowing I had been evicted from McDonalds!

C I wonder how they would find out that you were on their premises again. Do they have a wanted poster somewhere in the building or are they scanning each face that enters their driveway.
Ha! Next time I sneak back in to McDonalds I will definitely be looking for a wanted poster! Think I should wear a wig when I go in?
Burned!
Can't say I've ever been trespassed while doing a surveillance job, but I did once get a worried 'Good Samaritan' come out and tap on my car window as she was worried that I'd been sitting alone in my car for hours without moving.
Luckily by that time it was dark and no-one else, including the subject of investigation, noticed.
That is so funny! I'm also a lady PI in TN & have had similar experiences while doing surveillance, but never at Mickey D's! I'm wondering how they could possibly keep up with all the people who come thru their door or just drive thru the parking lot. I know I've done it numerous times. I'm guessing the Manager had nothing better to do than to stand guard over the parking lot!
