After punting for 30 odd yrs I was concerned lately I've become a bit blase covering my tracks.
I have some usual excuses for punting which my partner could break down if she tried and then I have some Plan Bs to cover if she did make some calls, enquiries etc.
I (foolishly according to fredflinstone) keep some basic records but they are on a protected flash drive ....ohhh, the things we do.
However, my phone is a dead give away...its password protected, but if my partner asked me to hand over my unlocked phone for 15 mins in a "trust session ..I'd be dead in the water fuckdd!!
Are my fellow punters with partners similarly blase or are you water tight??
Everything is done (including this forum) incognito in my browser, any phone call logs or text messages deleted as soon as sent. I'm lucky I work mobile so I can punt when I have some spare time in the workday otherwise it'd be a lot harder. Probably the hardest thing for me to explain would be if she checked my bank account and asked why I've withdrawn $100 on such a day, I need to start withdrawing a bit of cash every time I hit woolies
I've managed to get away with it for 20 odd years with my current partner. Perhaps she knows I am up to something but does not care about it. I have my doubts though that she knows anything at all. I'm as careful as can be no strange phone calls, delete any text traces. Payments covered through my business activity.
don't commit the crime unless it's perfect. i suggest the next time you retire a phone, make it your punting burner phone. you dont need it all the time and just use it when you go punting. I also agree that keeping records is foolish, especially when its been 30 yrs for you. You probably have experience everything and anything in these 30 yrs, so I don't see a point to keep "trophies."
Keep nothing except the next pineapple 🍍
Recently had to deal with the death of a relatively close friend.
He had also nominated me yo be the executor of his estate.
First thing I did was grab his phones, all of them, plus his usual work computers etc...
I also was in possession of his passwords and a cheat sheet.
following his instructions I wipe all but his daily normal phone, but removed/wiped wechat from it.
the others were factory reset and one was booted. In this case is went under my boot and was smashed to pieces then fed thru a shreeder.
I then proceeded to remove 2 computers which had been setup for remote access and shed those as well.
2 extra google accounts were separated from his and then redone, killing as much history as possible.
2 extra sims accounts were destroyed and wiped.
It was all preplanned, just in case.
Serious men’s business, ha.
We’ll it’s better than the executor reading out all his past indiscretions as per last will and testament.
I use to work shift work and my late wife worked M-F 9-5, so I would have plenty of time to punt while she was not home, so it never interfered with the time we got to spent together, so she wasn’t aware of what was going on,
After a punt I would come home shower and wash the clothes I wore so nothing smelt like sex at all, than I would clear my phone history,
If the wife asked what I did on the day I just tell her I stayed home and play PlayStation or went and did the groceries
Due the fact I had numerous girlfriends running at the same time a common ploy to get rid of one and get fresh stock was to deliberately leave an earring next to the bedside table on the floor.
An obvious bust they thought.
End of relationship, easy.
It works both ways.
