What kinds of cases does a PI agency handle in Lebanon, TN?
In Lebanon and the rest of Wilson County, Birds Eye handles stolen equipment and property cases, insurance and workers' comp claim checks, landlord and tenant matters, locates, background research, family law surveillance and attorney support. Each case begins with a written scope, timeline and cost that you approve before any PI work starts.
Stolen Trailers, Tools and Farm Equipment
Around Lebanon, a missing gooseneck trailer, zero-turn mower or skid steer is not a minor loss; it can stop a season's work. Equipment is often taken from fields, job sites and barns with little traffic and no cameras, then moved quickly to another county or sold online. Police reports are the first step, and we encourage owners to file them right away.
A PI adds focused follow-up. We document serial and VIN details, canvass for any lawfully available camera footage, watch online marketplaces for matching listings, and pass credible leads to law enforcement. We do not repossess property or confront anyone.
- File a police report before anything else
- Pull serial numbers, VINs and purchase records
- Photograph where the item was kept
- List who knew where it was stored
- Tell us about any online listings you have seen
Claim Verification for Insurers and Employers
Lebanon's distribution centers, manufacturers and contractors generate their share of workplace injuries and liability claims. Most are legitimate. When something in a file does not fit, such as a claimant with lifting restrictions seen loading hay, adjusters and defense counsel need neutral, lawful facts rather than rumors from coworkers.
Our PIs tie activity checks to the specific restrictions or statements at issue, observe only from public places, and report both helpful and unhelpful results. That balance is what makes a report credible to a mediator or judge.
Landlord Problems: Occupancy, Skips and Service
Wilson County has a growing rental market, and landlords bring us three recurring problems. Someone is living in a unit who is not on the lease. A tenant has stopped paying and may have left, but the unit still has belongings in it. Or a former tenant owes money and cannot be found for a judgment.
We verify occupancy from public vantage points, locate skipped tenants through records and field checks, and coordinate service of a detainer warrant or other papers through our process serving team. Your attorney handles the legal steps.

Locates That Lead Toward the Upper Cumberland
People leaving Lebanon often head east along I-40 or north toward Carthage and Hartsville, into smaller counties where a new address may not show up in databases for months. Witnesses, debtors, estranged relatives and heirs can seem to vanish when they have only moved an hour away.
Our locate work uses public records and lawful data sources first, then confirms a current address in person before it goes into a court filing. We cover every county in Tennessee, so an address in Smith, Trousdale or Putnam County is simply the next stop.
Attorney Support at the Wilson County Seat
Lebanon is the county seat of Wilson County, and its courts see a steady stream of divorces, civil suits, estate matters and criminal cases. Attorneys use Birds Eye for witness interviews, background research on parties and witnesses, scene photographs and address confirmation before trial settings.
We work under the attorney's direction and keep findings organized for that case. For criminal defense matters, our defense support page explains how we assist counsel on the investigative side.
Relationship and Custody Questions in Lebanon
Family cases here often involve long, open roads where following someone discreetly takes planning. When a spouse or co-parent's time is unaccounted for, or a parenting plan may not be followed, documented public observation can answer the question without escalation.
We keep it lawful: no trackers on vehicles you do not own, no account access, no trespassing. If you ever feel unsafe, call 911.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a PI recover my stolen tractor or trailer in Wilson County?
A PI does not repossess property; recovery is handled by law enforcement or through legal process. What we can do is develop and document leads, such as a matching online listing or a sighting, and deliver them to the investigating officer and your insurer in usable form.
Do you work workers' comp cases for Lebanon employers?
Yes. Employers, insurers and their defense counsel ask us to check whether a claimant's activities match their restrictions. The work is limited to public places and reported neutrally. Our workers' comp surveillance page covers the details.
How can a landlord in Lebanon prove someone unauthorized is living in a unit?
Repeated, dated observations from public vantage points showing the same person arriving, leaving overnight or moving belongings are often the most useful evidence. We document that pattern without entering the property and share it with you and your attorney.
What if the person I need to find moved to a small county east of Lebanon?
That is common. Birds Eye is licensed statewide and works rural counties regularly. We verify the new address in person before it is used, which matters because database results in smaller counties can lag behind real moves.
Is a Lebanon private investigator licensed by the state?
In Tennessee, PIs and PI agencies must be licensed through the Private Investigation and Polygraph Commission. Birds Eye is a licensed agency, and you should always ask any PI for their license information before hiring.
How quickly can you respond to equipment theft in Lebanon?
Speed matters because stolen items move fast. Once the police report is filed and you send us the details, we can put the scope in writing promptly. Timing of fieldwork depends on staffing and is stated in that scope, never assumed.
