Reunited after 58 years. One of our clients said it best: 'How can I ever thank you for the miracle you accomplished in uniting my mother and her twin sisters?' Finding people is what we do — and why we do it.

The Files Were Gone. So Was the Employee.

A tech company noticed something was wrong the moment their top competitor launched a product that looked nearly identical to their own, months before they were scheduled to bring it to market.

They called us.

Our team at Locaters International launched a full corporate investigation. On the traditional side, we conducted covert surveillance, interviewed former employees, and tracked the movements of a recently departed senior engineer. On the digital forensics side, we analyzed company-issued devices, server access logs, and email records, uncovering a trail of deliberate data exfiltration that had been carefully concealed.

What we found: a systematic theft of proprietary product designs, pricing models, and client lists, copied to an encrypted personal drive over an extended period. All before the employee resigned.

The evidence package we delivered helped the company's legal team take swift action.

If your business is seeing suspicious activity, unexplained data loss or a sudden competitive threat, there is no time to wait. Corporate espionage is more common than most business owners realize.

A Florida property manager was arrested last Thursday on 124 felony charges for allegedly embezzling nearly $200,000 from two homeowners associations in Martin County.

The method was textbook: fictitious invoices, falsified ledger entries, forged check signatures. The money financed Disney World trips, New York vacations, plastic surgery, and a wedding.

The Martin County Sheriff put it plainly: "There's none left to claw back."

What makes this case instructive isn't the headline — it's what it reveals about the structural vulnerability in how most HOAs manage financial oversight.

The boards weren't negligent. They received financial reports that appeared legitimate. The records had been manipulated before the board ever saw them. No annual review catches fraud that's been committed upstream of the documents you're reviewing.

We published a detailed breakdown of the case — including how investigators uncover this kind of scheme, what Florida's new HOA law (HB 1203) does and doesn't protect against, and the due diligence steps that cost a fraction of what recovery does.

If you work with HOA boards, serve on one, or represent associations as counsel — it's worth a read.
