Edit*: so fuckin crap, I talked to a mutual friend, basically my buddy has been stealing from everyone he knows and has turned into a massive piece of crap. And they also think he's probably on drugs, so he is literally taking people's money to fix cars, just ghosting everyone, and then locking his gate so no one can get in... I'll write him a letter since he is checking the mail but I guess if he doesn't call me I'll just have to report the car stolen.
Got a weird issue, one of my friends has gone missing. He's a mechanic and works from home. He was working on my car and two other guys cars. I texted him 3 months ago about how it's going on my car, he said he's working on two other cars before mine, and he'll let me know. Last month I was going to fly down and visit, I texted him and he didn't reply, but I also had my flight cancelled the next day so I figured he just didn't reply or whatever, but he always does. He's been helping my mom out ever since I moved out of CA, for years now with anything. I've known him for 20+ years. He always replies to my texts or my mom.
Anyway, my car is still in his driveway. My mom went and asked the neighbors if they have seen him, and they said they haven't seen him for a month. He has a shop in his backyard, and the neighbors pretty much hate him because he is always cutting, grinding or welding all day, all he does is fab stuff or fix up classic cars. So they were happy he stopped, but now that she asked where he is, they also wonder, because he would literally work every single day for I think 3 years now since he built that shop.
Anyway, I've checked the CA arrest database but still haven't had any luck. He and his brothers are estranged, they literally hate each other and his mom only comes by once in a while and I don't have her number. His social media hasn't been updated for a while either. I tried looking up coroner records but I have to have a birthdate and all this other crap, plus its more of a get a death certificate rather than check if someone is dead. Any other ideas?
