Cases
Anyone who thinks it’s easy making a living as a private investigator has been watching too much television or reading too many mystery novels. Having watched his competitors come and go for 40 years, Gary Glanz knows that better than anybody. To him, there is only one measure of success in this business, and that is producing results for the client – for every client, every time.
The Casa Bonita Caper
When a Tulsa Mexican restaurant was burglarized, the owners knew Gary Glanz was the only one who could locate their missing cash. That’s exactly what he proceeded to do – in a Florida swamp, of all places.
Casa Bonita, an icon on the Tulsa dining scene, had $15,000 stolen from its floor safe one night. The owners, who were uninsured, called Glanz to track down the loot. In a matter of days, he traced the crime to the eatery’s assistant manager and another suspect, quickly securing confessions from them. He also got them to reveal the location of the missing cash, then journeyed to Florida to dig the money up from a swamp, where it was in the process of being consumed by grub worms. Another couple of weeks in the ground, and that money would have been gone forever.
The ruthless restaurant manager wasn’t through with his career in crime, however. Years later, after serving his sentence, he stole from the restaurant again, robbing the restaurant’s receipts from an off-duty Tulsa police officer who was serving as a security guard and shooting him in the chest. Who helped police track down the shooter and apprehend him a week later? None other than Gary Glanz.
