Need recommendation for an aggressive PI in Miami Beach for luxury watch theft case

Can anyone recommend a serious private investigator in Miami or Miami Beach?

This is for a luxury watch theft case. Police report is already filed with Miami Beach PD, but it has been over a week and I still do not even have a detective assigned.

I already hired one PI, but he focused almost entirely on facial recognition and that has gone nowhere. I need someone far more proactive and hands-on.

I need a PI who will actually:

- push businesses/buildings/security staff for footage,

- speak to employees, doormen, bartenders, valet staff, etc,

- help reconstruct the timeline and identify the exit path,

- stay on top of police and help move the case forward,

- understand nightlife-related thefts and organized crews,

- and ideally have experience handling reward-based cases and knowing where/how to publicize them effectively.

I am willing to offer a $10k reward for information leading to identification/capture of the person responsible.

Ideally looking for someone with former law enforcement experience, especially robbery, organized theft, or high-value theft cases.

Please only recommend people you have personally worked with or genuinely vouch for.

Please Stop Doing This!

Summer is here and when it’s 75+ outside, don’t walk your dogs on the hot a$$ pavement in the middle of the day. Take them to a shady spot. Meridian is almost always shady.

You’re burning their paws. If it’s too hot for your bare feet, it’s too hot for theirs. This lady was walking her dog and the poor thing kept trying to pull her to the shade. She was either oblivious or just plain mean because she kept pulling her dog back onto the hot sidewalk. I’m about to put up flyers everywhere because I can’t stand to see it. As a SoBe lifetime local, I see this all the time and it drives me nuts. I don’t know how to say anything about it without sounding like a Karen, but this time, it was painful to watch that dog obviously in pain.

I tried to get her attention but she was too far ahead to hear me.

Editing to add: one of my best friends is the medical director at a popular vet hospital in Miami, and she told me the same thing. They see a lot of burned paws in the summer.

Waymo's deadhead miles are about to be a Miami Beach problem. What can the commission actually do?

Waymo opened South Florida service this spring. The part nobody is covering is what these cars do between rides. They drive empty. In San Francisco's first year of commercial operation, the city issued 589 tickets to robotaxis, most for empty vehicles staging on residential streets, blocking bus zones, or circling.

Industry estimates put deadhead miles at 20 to 40 percent of fleet mileage. That's empty cars adding traffic, brake and tire wear PM2.5, and curb pressure to neighborhoods already losing curb space to delivery vans and rideshare staging.

Miami Beach already got the preview. A Waymo got stuck in standing water on the Venetian Causeway during the last rain event. A fleet trained on Phoenix and SF does not understand our drainage or our king tides. We will see more of this.

The hard part: Florida HB 311 (2019) preempts local AV regulation. The commission cannot ban or restrict operation. What they can do is price curb space, stand up congestion zones around South Pointe and the convention corridor, and enforce parking against empty fleet vehicles the same way they would any commercial vehicle parked illegally.

Curious what other residents are seeing. Has anyone noticed staging on their block yet?

MBPD writing a parking ticket on a Waymo today. SF wrote 589 of these in 2024.

Caught this on the island. San Francisco wrote Waymo 589 parking tickets in 2024 and the company paid every one as a line item against 250K paid rides a week. The ticket is a feature, not a bug. The curb space still gets taken, the officer's hour still gets burned, and the externality still lands on residents.

Wrote up the full SF playbook and what the commission can do about it before the fleet doubles: https://vincentactual.substack.com/p/the-deadhead-tax-has-already-arrived

Reddit is so unbelievably fascist, completely benign posts removed from everywhere,

let alone the constant BULLYING which is a hatecrime. I never bully individuals only in the aggregate.

My most recent post removed "My apologies to the people of FLorida

For trying to draw blood from a stone. You can whack it all you want ain't nothings in there. But hey, there's nothing wrong with being a rock or brick or piece of furniture. These all have their purpose"

Completely good faith amends and a sasquatch profile forgave me on behalf of the people. And it is deleted by satanists because forgiveness is godly

By any chance there is a 5-neuroned person reading this post, you can find me now on Twitter "@EagleE4860" but I dont like the numbers they put on my name.

Further I have escaped the dense hole "Miami", which only took me 1 month, my powers are massively increasing it took me a whole 4 years to graduate from the Chicago hole. I am evolving into the stratosphere

Stats:

People met: 2

People blocked: 2

It's golf numbers

Would anyone actually show up to a women's sports and walking group in Miami?

I've been thinking about this for a while and I'm curious if it's just me.

I want to meet more women in Miami but I genuinely don't enjoy standing around at networking events making small talk. I'd rather be doing something — walking, playing a sport, being outside — and just naturally meeting people through that.

I looked around and couldn't find anything that felt like the right fit. Most groups are either purely fitness focused or purely networking. Nothing really combines both in a casual way.

So I'm curious — if someone organized low key active events around Miami, group walks, paddle boarding, volleyball, pickleball, that kind of thing, would women actually show up? Would you?

Also genuinely asking — what would make you feel comfortable enough to show up alone to something like that for the first time?

Not trying to sell anything, just trying to figure out if this is worth organizing or if I'm the only one who wants this.

What do you all do for doctors??

What do you all do for doctors around here? I used to have so many options for primary care when I moved here over a decade ago and could typically see someone within a day or two, but now it's gotten so bad. I live close to Baptist and Mount Sinai, but to see a primary care physician or specialist is a 1-2 month wait. I end up having to go to Urgent Care for everything, but it's usually just a nurse practitioner that sees me. Often if they don't know what's wrong they tell me to go see a PCP, but I tell them it's not possible to see one any time soon and I'm not really offered any other solution other than go to the ER, which often provides worse care than Urgent Care and is crazy expensive. Back home I'd call my doctor and they'd fit me in same or next day all the time. I pay a fortune in insurance, it's such a joke I can't see a doctor when I need to.

I'm coming to Miami with my bf August 1-5 and was wondering if anyone has reccs on where to stay? We definitely want to enjoy the beaches, food scene, and also whatever else Miami has to offer. We were thinking of staying near brickell but if there are better areas that aren't crazy expensive, let me know!
