Every person leaves a footprint. That’s what I learnt when I started to work as a private investigator 10 years ago．People pay restaurant bills with their bank card，check into hotels or travel around. In every case，they leave a trace．And because of this，I’m able to track them down even when they don’t want to be found．

The first thing I do when I want to find out where someone is staying is to go to the neighbourhood where he used to live．It’s human nature to tell stories―which is why neighbours will tell me all they know when I ring at their houses．Sometimes，someone even talks about his friend’s dishonesty．Then I produce a pattern of my subject’s life：if he likes to have a holiday in Spain or in Italy，if he prefers two- or three- star hotels and where he might hide his assets(資產(chǎn))．When I’ve got this life pattern，I start my rescarch．

Nine times out of l0，I find the people I’m looking for．I once investigated a lorry supplier who owed ￡500,000 to a subcontractor(分包商)．The subcontractor wanted to find out if it was worth bringing charges against the supplier．I found out the supplier had moved assets to his son，who founded a new company offering the same product．It was a11 done within the law．There was no money to be got from that operation．

However, I asked the son if I could speak to his father and he told me that his parent was on a long holiday in Spain and wouldn’t be back for a while．It didn’t take me long to find out that the father wasn’t in Spain．

I went back to the son and this time he told me that his father might be in Bulgaria,and I found him doing winter sports in a beautiful mountain area．He was 1iving in a big house on a 1arge piece of land he had bought for є 400，000．This was exactly the kind of asset my customer was loooking for．

（1）           You are in a beautiful place enjoying the landscape，maybe fishing ,but suddenly the peace and quiet is interrupted by the noisy sound of a cell phone !Cell phone are everywhere，and some people don’t know what the limits of cell phone use are.

（2）           Nowadays，that’s the biggest problem．People disturb other people，first with the ringing of their cell phones and then with their conversations because they usually speak very loudly．Not everybody in a public place should have to listen to private conversations．

（3）           People need to-learn how to use cell phones correctly．If there is an emergency，cell phone  are acceptable；but remember that just a few years ago few people had cell phones and the whole society survived! Nowadays people can’t seem to live__________.．They talk in restaurants，in restrooms，in ears，in hospitals，and at parties．It's incredible!

（4）           It's like smoking．Just as people don’t want to be bothered by smokers。they don’t want to be disturbed by cell phone talkers．Our society has to learn to respect other people．It would be great if loud talking was seen as really bad manners．The u8e of cell phones must be restricted in places such as cinemas，theatres，museums，classrooms，and hospitals．

（5）           Nowadays，people just laugh when a cell phone rings in these places ,but it’s Just the beginning，SO in the future I think things are going to change．They should have got tickets when they use them in inappropriate places，like people get parking tickets when they park in inappropriate places .So，we have to write some rules to restrict，or even prohibit，cell phone use in some places．New rules of etiquette(禮儀)are needed for new behaviors in our lives such as using cell phones．It's going to have to be part 0f our education in t}le future．
