I have mentioned I was an auditor. Kinda weird but I loved to look at old, I mean old, accounting records.
One company had a monthly "Horse and Buggy Maintenance Accrual" in a ledger from the 1920's. $2.50.
Anyhoo... Sniffing through old as dirt hard-copy personnel records, I found a black janitor's file who was hired in the 50's. They put that guy through the ringer. Hired an investigator to tail him and report on his activities. As documented, dude went to church. No bar frequenting. Clean shaven, clean clothes and one woman/family. No suspect activity noted.
Not really ethical for me to be looking at that stuff but was an eye opener. From my perspective it was like looking at the old Radio Shack catalogs thread recently posted. Simply curiosity.
