While they are parked, you could walk up and give them some donuts. See if it slows them down. 
Another update
Something along the line of giving them donuts.....
I was going to order some take out and have it delivered to them....
Well, I don't know if they have stopped the investigation or not. I haven't been followed at all today (at least by the same two cars. They could have swithched cars again) We'll have to see what happens tommorow.
I'm real torn on what to do. I was unable to get any more tag #'s or additional proof etc. If this fuster cluck is indeed over should I still pursue a lawyer? I might know why they (the ones who hired the PI's) are bent of finding something/anything on me. (that is a whole other story) . But the funny part is that there is nothing that I can think of that would give them any satisfaction that they had to hire a slopy PI firm.
I can se the report now:
Day 1 : subject stops a burger joint. Proceedes to go home.
Day 2: Subject stops at a different burger joint. and then goes to the drug store
Day 3: subject goes to Walmart. Then goes to the burger joint that he went to on day 1.
Realy, that's about all I do folks. Now of course I went to a couple of gun shows, gun stores, and two shooting ranges to rank their chains a bit. But, anyone who knows me. Also knows that that is just as common as me going to my favorite burger joint.
Till the next episode.......

I worked for a PI company as a surveillance/pursuit driver. There has been some really bad advice offered in this thread, and some extremely prudent advice as well.
I can only speak for Massachusetts, but in that state PIs are licensed. They have no special legal powers and most of them do not carry while on duty. All of the street investigators at my former company were highly professional, patient, and cool-headed. If you get frustrated easily then PI work is not for you. I left the job because I became uncomfortable with what breaking all those traffic laws was doing to my auto insurance. Simply presenting my PI license to the cop that just pulled me over never worked. Oh, well, I guess I needed to work on my smile.
If you start screwing around with the pursuit team they will either,
A: Not care because they're being paid by the hour.
B: Realize you are screwing with them, and go tell the client the game is up.
If we were confronted, we would admit who we were but say nothing about the case. If the individual got upset we would simply leave. In the 25 years that this company was in operation they never had any major problems. Hotheads need not apply to this company, and those that did were never employed for very long.
My company was in the habit of informing the local Police Department that we would be operating in their town/city that day, if we knew we were going to be there for more than a few minutes. Therefore, most people who called the cops on us knew right away who we were.
Davidtdm, these guys sound like a bunch of amateurs. I would definitely take whatever legal recourse you can.

There isn't much that you can do when you're out and about. Public places are public and all of that not-so-helpful crap. I would make a habit of calling the police when I am being followed. Eventually, they'll get tired of getting called and do something about it and/or perhaps give you some good advice on what you CAN do. I would also call the agency and let them know that you are feeling harassed and that the police are aware of what is going on.
I would be certain that I am not being surveilled while I am at home: perimeter checks are a must. I would also send out a friend in my car to see if another nearby car pulls out to follow him. If you have legal recourse, and you may, take action immediately. I wouldn't tolerate that.
The temptation to mess with them is almost irresistable. I can think of leading them to a circle (there are a few around here) and just keep going around and around until I get bored. Maybe you could even pass them; don't forget to wave.
Start "theme days." Today you drive into the parking lot of every strip joint in your area and immediately drive out. Tomorrow, it's Gynecologist Office Day! Oh, I have another one, get an envelope and go to an Italian restaurant with the envelope. Walk inside, put the envelope in your jacket pocket and walk back out. Do this for several Italian restaurants. Carry a violin case if it makes you happy. Write the name of one of the investigators on the envelope in 1 inch letters so they can read it when they blow the photos up.
I'm going to be coming up with these all night.

Sturmruger,
They have stopped their investigation as far as I know. I was kinda bummed out because I wasn't able to get any more photos of them getting photos of me etc. It would have been fun. I was also planning on taking two out of state trips.
The next step for me to do is to write the company to see if I can find out who started the investigation. I doubt that I'll find out anything. I'm also going to see if they are hiring. It was obvious to me that they are in need of some help n the surveilence department.
