Experts reveal the obvious sign someone is cheating — that most people don't catch: ‘That's a bread crumb worth following'
Turns out, the way to catch a cheater might not be hidden in their texts, tucked in their DMs, or whispered on a late-night phone call. It could be sitting right there on their bank statement. Forget lipstick on the collar — suspicious ATM withdrawals might be the real smoking gun. 'We're basically a cashless society these days, so if your partner has always been about tap-and-go, using a credit card for reward points and suddenly starts doing ATM withdrawals – that's a bread crumb worth following,' private investigator Cassie Crofts explained on TikTok. Why? 'Cash doesn't leave a trail,' Crofts said. 'If they go to a restaurant and spend $200, you can be pretty sure they weren't dining solo. But $200 cash withdrawal? You've got no idea what happened.' Brothel manager Catherine De Noire says the location — and the timing — of those withdrawals can be even more damning. 'The first thing is that a lot of guys don't carry enough cash. So then they go and withdraw money from an ATM, which is usually somewhere near the brothel or inside the brothel,' she said on Instagram, as reported by The Tab. Never mind lipstick on the collar — a shady ATM slip might be the real telltale sign of cheating, experts warn. Prostock-studio – 'This is very suspicious, especially when you see that your partner withdraws a lot of money at 4 am in the morning in this area, and the account is a shared one.' Bottom line: If your joint account suddenly starts hemorrhaging twenties in the wee hours, it might be time for a serious talk. If your shared account's dropping twenties in the dead of night, consider that a blinking red flag. Prostock-studio – And while money might be the most obvious tell, it's not the only household item that can turn snitch. As The Post previously reported, one woman discovered her husband's alleged infidelity thanks to a very unlikely source — their digital scale. In a now-viral Reddit post, a wife using the handle u/throw-Doubt303 claimed she uncovered late-night weigh-ins on their shared scale — while she was out of town and her husband was supposedly home alone. 'I checked the digital scale's memory out of curiosity and it showed two 'unassigned' weigh-ins at exactly 120 lbs, logged at 12:25 a.m. and 12:26 a.m. back-to-back,' she wrote. 'For context, I do not weigh 120 lbs, and I was not there on that date, just my husband.' 'The goal was to work on ourselves to help build a better foundation and we agreed not to see other people,' she added in the comments. Redditors didn't mince words. 'Pro tip — don't tell him you know there was a female there. Get in touch with attorneys to make a game plan,' one advised. 'This is two back-to-back weights. This is pretty simple. He has moved on and is already hooking up with other women. No need to overthink this,' another said. One commenter praised the find: 'This is expert-level sleuthing. Men underestimate our level of intuition. When you confront him, he'll probably try to paint you as crazy or paranoid. You're not.' In other words: if you're looking for clues, don't just follow the money — follow the ounces.

Final phase of £150 million Cross Tay Link Road project delayed
Works on two bridges - as part of the Perth City Centre Improvements - have been rescheduled Scheduled works on two Perth city centre bridges have been pushed back by a year each. The works form part of the final phase of the £150 million Cross Tay Link Road project. A Perth City Centre councillor has raised concern that the Perth City Centre Improvements phase is not forgotten. A brief reference was made to the delays in an update on PKC's six-year composite capital budget for 2024-2030 put before the Finance and Resources Committee on Wednesday, April 30. At Wednesday's meeting, Perth City Centre councillor Peter Barrett asked what the renewed timeline would be for the planned works on both the Old Perth Bridge (also known as Smeaton's Bridge) and Queen's Bridge. PKC's strategic lead for Environment and Infrastructure Fraser Crofts explained: "We've had some further staff turnover within the team unfortunately." "In terms of delivery of those two schemes, it's been pushed back by one year each." Building work on the Old Perth Bridge has been postponed until 2026/27 and Queen's Bridge until 2027/28. Mr Crofts assured councillors there were "ongoing inspections" of both bridges in terms of safety. Cllr Peter Barrett asked that this final phase "doesn't get forgotten about". The Liberal Democrat councillor said: "Obviously, we have all been really pleased to see the completion of the Cross Tay Link Road and the reduction in traffic that that has created in the Scone Main Street, Old Perth Bridge, Atholl St corridor which is really welcome in terms of road safety for residents and amenity for shoppers. "But I am concerned the final phase of Transport Futures' Cross Tay Link Road (CTLR) project doesn't get forgotten about. And are the staff shortages going to have an impact on delivering the environmental and road safety improvements in the Scone Main Street, Old Perth Bridge, Atholl St corridor area?" Councillors were told the rollout of national initiatives, as well as staffing issues, had impacted the planned works taking place. Mr Crofts said: "In terms of the majority of the work we agreed to undertake on the back of the CTLR that has been carried out. We continue to work through the programme as we go forward. "Members will be aware of some other national initiatives that have come our way, not least the pavement parking ban and the 20mph rollout as well. "But we will work and prioritise, within the resources that we have, to deliver on all fronts. To the best of my knowledge, we are pretty much back to capacity now across the Traffic and Network team."
