Confirmation Of Spells Effectiveness Options

I've been having this problem that keeps comming up. Lets say you place a spell on someone that lives off from a distant away. Like a letter spell. How do you know your spell has worked or not?

For example these scenarios:
Lets say for example someone has been going around town vandalizing various properties around the neighbourhood and your home was vandalize. So you decided to put a binding spell on this vandal to stop him but you havnt a clue (presuming) wether it has worked or not. (For all you know the person could have just gone to a another neighbourhood.)

Or Lets say someone has been going around neighbourhood poisoning people's dogs with tainted food and you really wanted to nail this guy?

Or say someone broke into your locker but you dont know who done it .... etc.

Or dealing with bad ebay sellers who ripped you off (speaking from personal experience. really gets me mad)

How would one tell if the spell has worked?
