I am an amateur detective so i tend to do beginner and easy cases. I did a favor case for Thadius the tailor and it was an intermediate. It took me like 2 hours before I guessed between 3 fake alibis and one that didn't have one. In the end I guess correctly (it was the no alibi) and thadius gave me a plaid scarf. I am very tough so I sold it. And i STILL didn't get a contact. Why?

This is a game you play over time to build up your detective. You can't expect to get everything at once. It takes time and hard work.
You get gear, for the most part, when doing a favour. Some people get their contacts very quickly while others have to wait a long time.
Good luck and happy sleuthing. And as for guessing ect... it's not recommended but here it the formula (thanks cfm) which might help in the future.
1PE + Fake/None (of your business) = Guilty
1WE + Fake/None (of your business) = Guilty
and 2 WE = Guilty.
(PE being Physical ie. hair belonging to the suspect and WE being Witness ie. I saw the suspect fleeing from the scene)

*wonders why rosenfedb didn't read the post right at (or very near :D) the top of Newbie Boards entitled "About Contacts" where Makkers gave a great reply in answer to his question*
*wonders if people realise they CAN research before gaining the skill*
*still wonders why a 24/7 Convience Store has locks on the doors*

I've seen cases where people haven't been able to get their contact at 100K and the was one wasn't able to get his until 290K experience. If you haven't gotten it at around 150K the odds for getting contacts go up significantly.

They may be open 24/7 but if there's a loss of power they have to lock up for those situations. Or atleast that's my guess

I didn't get my WE contact in NY until close to 350,000. It made my head hurt. :(

All things considered though I think not having a PE contact hurts more.
