A vehicle sighting report answers a narrow, legally significant question with documented evidence: was a particular vehicle at a particular address on a particular date and time? It is one of the most focused and cost-efficient investigative assignments we handle in Chicago — and it produces the kind of timestamped, photographically documented result that attorneys, insurance adjusters, and Cook County judges can rely on directly. Where a full surveillance operation runs six hours minimum, a vehicle sighting is structured, flat-rate, and purpose-built for one clear evidentiary question. We serve Chicago, Cook County, DuPage County, Naperville, Schaumburg, and all of Chicagoland.
What We Document
Plate & Registration
We document the license plate and visible registration on the target vehicle and cross-reference them against the information you provided, so the sighting is tied to the specific vehicle in question, not just a visually similar one.
Time & Date Verification
All vehicle documentation is timestamped at the moment of capture, creating an independently verifiable record of the vehicle's presence at the specified location during the specified time window. The timestamp is what makes the photograph legally useful.
Operator Documentation
When the assignment requires documenting who is operating or associated with the vehicle, we covertly observe and photograph the operator entering or exiting the vehicle at the sighting location. This is common in divorce and custody matters where both the vehicle and identity are at issue.
When a Vehicle Sighting Report Is Enough
Not every investigation requires full surveillance. If your attorney or your situation simply requires confirmation that a specific vehicle was at a specific address on a specific date, a vehicle sighting report is the most direct, cost-effective way to produce that evidence. You get a flat rate, a clear scope, and a documented result delivered the same day. It's what a $650 assignment looks like when the legal question is narrow and the answer needs to be airtight.
Documented Case Example
Field Documentation
Vehicle Sighting — Undisclosed Address Confirmed, Divorce Matter, Cook County
An attorney retained Supreme Investigations during a contested divorce matter in Cook County. The opposing party had denied residing at or regularly visiting a specific address — a claim that had direct relevance to asset and property issues in the proceedings.
Our investigator conducted a vehicle sighting assignment at the address in question during a time window consistent with the subject's known schedule. The target vehicle was confirmed present at the address within the first hour of the assignment and photographed with timestamped imagery capturing the vehicle, the address, the plate, and the surrounding environment.
A written field report was delivered to the attorney the same day, documenting the assignment parameters, the investigator's observations, and the photographic evidence. The documentation was submitted as part of the attorney's motion, directly contradicting the opposing party's denial.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is a vehicle sighting report?
A vehicle sighting report is a focused field assignment in which a licensed Illinois investigator documents the confirmed presence of a specific vehicle at a specified address during a specified time window. The deliverable is timestamped photographic documentation of the vehicle, the address, and the plate, accompanied by a written field report documenting the investigator's observations. It is the most direct way to confirm vehicle presence for Illinois legal purposes.
How is this different from full surveillance?
Full surveillance involves following and documenting a subject's movements over an extended period — typically six or more hours with a broader evidentiary objective. A vehicle sighting report is narrower in scope: it confirms whether a specific vehicle is at a specific location. It is faster, more cost-effective at $650 flat, and appropriate when the legal question is location-specific rather than behavioral. Many Cook County divorce and custody matters only need this narrower tool.
Can a vehicle sighting report be used in court?
Yes. Timestamped photographic documentation and written field reports produced by a licensed Illinois private investigator are admissible in civil court, family court, divorce, and custody proceedings across Illinois. The documentation is formatted for direct attorney use in motions, hearings, and filings — and the investigator is available for testimony when the matter requires it.
What if the vehicle is not present when the investigator arrives?
If the vehicle is not present during the assignment window, we document the absence — confirming that the vehicle was not at the address during the specified time. This negative result is itself a documented fact and can be evidentiary. We discuss timing strategies before deployment to maximize the probability of the vehicle being present based on any known patterns you can share.
Can you also document who is driving or associated with the vehicle?
Yes. If operator documentation is part of the assignment scope, we photograph the individual entering or exiting the vehicle at the sighting location — adding identity documentation to the vehicle sighting record. This is common in divorce and custody matters where both vehicle location and operator identity are relevant to the legal question in front of the court.
