So I'm posting this here as it pertains to both a coworker and circumstances that happened at our place of employment.
OK, so I've got this coworker that has a crazy girlfriend. She is always accusing him of cheating. She came to our job once to check our shared office for a cell phone he is being accused of having. She thought he had a stashed cell phone he used for texting and calling other women with. As far as I know, he is not cheating on her, but hey, what do I know. Not my problem.
So yesterday he tells me his girlfriend hired a private investigator to follow him around. He instead followed me around by mistake. How he screwed that up, I have no idea. He tells me that his girlfriend had received the pictures from the P.I. and they opened them together. They both were shocked to see he followed the wrong person. Apparently, he took pictures of me at work and while I was in my car at the end of our shift. He attempted to follow me home but was not able to.
After he told me this, I said he needs to keep his personal life anywhere else but at work, and that I am pretty pi$$ed this happened. I also notified my supervisor of this as well. Anything else I should do about this? Should I let this go?
Oh, also a bit more information. So his girlfriend also installed software in his cell phone that uploads text and call records directly to her pc. She also contacted most of the people that were sending him text messages. She wanted to know if they were really coworkers or the proof she was looking for that he is cheating on her. I never exchanged text messages with my coworkers, so I never received calls from her.
tell him to dump her...craaaaazy...actually, no, just stay away like you tried. Anyway, I don't know what else you can do here, other than what you did. I think you did the appropriate things.

He claims he is going to dump her soon. However, because they have kids together, he is reluctant.

If he uses the cell phone for business related purposes, isn't it illegal for her to install such software?
I would tell him to dump her before he loses his job over her insecurities (unless he really is cheating on her).
So today he shows up at work. He proceeds to write down on a pad that his girlfriend slipped a little digital recorder in his pocket and told him he needs to wear it all day, and that it is recording all audio. I can't wait to tell my boss. God I hate this guy.

This is a problem if its recording audio in the workplace. Reason enough to tell the supervisor at this point. She's nuts, He's double nuts for not just trashing that recorder. These 2 belong on the Maury show. Enough is enough,
Absolutely inform your supervisor of what information you were given. Don't state it is fact, but recount it as what he told you.
This could all be some hideous "prank".
His employer -- via your mutual supervisor -- will (depending on local laws) probably have every reason to fire him on the spot for industrial espionage. If -- and I emphasize If -- he does wear a tape recorder around all day.
Better yet, email this information to your supervisor, so as to keep a record of it.
I am still wondering if in fact you yourself might be the target of some wacko harrassment.
Keep it businesslike, reporting only information as it is told to you, not attesting to it as 'fact', and specifically state that you are reporting it primarily as a matter of security concern for the business.
I don't know whether to wish you Good Luck, or Have Fun. This is highly evolved weirdness for sure.
