... Any one live in, or nearby Tampa, Florida?
If so, drop me a PM - I'd appreciate it. I kinda need some help.

It's a tough call. I'm on the other side of the state but I've got a straight shot on a highway to get there. State your demands and I'll know if I can help.

Ok, pretty long story... but here it goes.
Background history:
My mother fell ill with a chronic and corrosive nerve disease called R.S.D., about three years back. Since that time she has had to retire from teaching, my dad divorced her, and my sister and I have moved out (school). She's never gotten over dad leaving, and she feels like shes all alone and has nothing going for her. In an effort to validate herself and feel valuable again, she began dating - notably using internet sites such as eHarmony.
About a year ago, she started seeing a guy who goes by Bobby. I'll just throw up some of what he's told mom about himself, what I know, and what's going on.
Bobby claimed his background life looked like this; He was a C.P.A. out of Tampa, also an investor - primarily offshore, and he owned a few properties, including a resort in Michigan. He claimed to be quite wealthy and have a house in Florida, and a place in Michigan. Over a few months stuff started getting weird, apparently the IRS came after him for some shady deal in his C.P.A. firm, as it goes, he liquidated his assets, including his resort and business, his houses and positions were apparently seized by the IRS for tax evasion, and essentially his whole life had been whipped out.
By this time, my sister and I had been trying to tell my mom this guy was bad news.
Any way, he has a son too, he'd come to visit my mom about twice over the course of the year. But he is always saying he'll be there in a week, and something comes up... Like contracting - such as building internet infrastructures and networks for hotels, or his dad dieing, or his sister going crazy and blah blah blah. Always an excuse; I've heard at least 300 mentions from my mom of "He'll be home in a few days" and I've only seen him twice.
He's conned my mom into giving him her social security, he's stolen some of her prescription pain pills, while he was at my house, one of my rifles was mysteriously stolen. He's very good with computers, as when he found I had my network password protected, he infiltrated it and changed the password, he's taken about 7000+ $ from my moms bank account - so much so she had to close it and demand no transactions can be made unless she comes to the bank herself, her blackberry went missing when he was at my house, her paypal/ebay/amazon accounts were closed due to suspicious activity, all while seeing bobby. Amazon is sending her claims notices for things she never ordered, and emails from him stating facts and promises to her get deleted at random when she mentions them to him (I've watched them be deleted from her gmail account).
I've finally had enough playing around with my mom and being nice to her about this guy. As he's cleaning her out, and threatening her... Plus he stole a family heirloom rifle from me, which really angers me. So I told my mom how it is, much to her dismay.
I've been researching him, and not many things are checking out at all... he never owned resorts, I can find no CPA information on him, no obituaries on his dad... and ironically enough, only mentions that he's still married and living with his wife whom he's supposed to have divorced awhile ago (which makes sense about the stories, and never showing up).
I've been having my mom talk to the cops, and she has another appointment with them tomorrow, my sister knows a private investigator who might do some work with this. So the wheels are turning... I want this guy off my mom, and off any other women he's preying on. I also want my gun and my moms money back.
So it's became abit of a vendetta, I have what I believe is his address and more than enough information on him, including a social security #, I also know what he drives...
I was wondering if some one would swing by his house in the evening and snap a picture of the car's parked there so I can see if he's actively still at residence with his wife... just snap a picture or take a cell video, a license plate number would be awesome too, as I never had the foresight to grab it while he was in Michigan.
(This is a very lacking summery of the things that have been going on, it's much deeper and ridiculous)
Long story short, I want to protect my mom - and I was wondering if some one could drive by a house in Tampa and snap a few pictures. So I'm calling to the collective forum mothers abilities for aid in this matter.

Aw hell yeah. T&O stakeout.
Your situation sucks, and I feel for you and your mom- he sounds like he might be a classic sociopath, just using her without recrimination for his own personal gain.
This going to Florida thing has 'awesome' written all over it though. Let's just be careful that anything on here stays legal.

I'd do it, but I couldn't justify a trip to Tampa for a simple picture when a P.I. or even your sister could do it.
Now, if you want more immediate and brutal help, a trip down 4chan lane would more than satisfy you.

Wow, the fact a gun went missing is IFFY, someone more gun savvy would know better and can confirm/ deny this but I would suggest making sure that the police are aware of the details of the gun.

The problem with the P.I. and my sister - we all live in Michigan. I'm willing to go down there after this guy myself in a few weeks if need be... I'm just hoping some one could get a few pictures if possible... Nothing special, just drive by and snap some pictures.

Also, if you do find him there, buy me a plain ticket there, and I'll go as backup muscle. I could use a new adventure.

I just thought of a brilliant idea (it's mine so it must be)
Tampa is the home of Scientology. Get him on the Suppressive Persons list somehow. Start a blog in his name or something... though that could get you on the wrong side of the law for defamation.

by something needing to stop.......I'm thinking his pulse.......or just beat him so badly he loses all abilities to function and just has to sit there like a drooling idiot. (my apologies to anyone who knows someone like that)

I appreciate the offers, both public and through PM, and I may have to take some offers up in a few. But as it stands, the local and state police, in conjunctions with a couple private investigators have taken interest in this and have opened up a criminal investigation on the grounds of identity theft. They have requested that all research and action on the families part cease for the time being so they can go about their own investigations in more subtler manners.
Much love to you all, and I'll keep every one updated as the story unfolds.
