Just got back from a ride around on the Q's, its very difficult to know where to start looking, there where a couple of people waiting in the Great Bear car park, but no sign of his car??

The car's been taken away by the police
Is that normal practice in the event of a missing person? I guess that if it's parked illegally, then they have a duty to do so. And if they're looking for "clues" then the forensics guys might want it indoors? But I'd be ****' annoyed if I came back after a couple of nights out camping to find that someone had taken my car away.
just got in from the Qs a few of us have been helping the police look for Shane. No luck yet . If your on the Qs tomorrow please ask anyone you see if they have seen him. The police call card is 170.

Standard police proceedure for a misper. Means he has to make contact with someone on his return…
Strange, given from what I understand of the thread, he doesn't have his mobile with him so he's going to be back at a carpark in the Qs without any way of getting home or calling for assistance.
They've taken his car coz there's no window left!
The chopper will be back up later to see if theres a better heat signature coming from anywhere.
We've had some leads on him being seen over the last few days and I've just spent a bit of time with his mum who is now waiting in the car park to see if he comes back.
Pretty sure he is out deer spotting and none the wiser!
Not sure what happens if he doesnt show up tonight tho…. could do with some people to ask about if they are riding locally tomorrow. Kind of anyone seen this man stuff as we did it earlier and the second people we asked gave us info.
We'll know more in the morning, but for now im off for a well earned pint. nearly 9 hours we've been out there, Cam has been there since 3.30am!!!!
Sharki… wherever you are…. you owe us a fry up!!!!
There's been some suggestion (from someone who knows him very well) that he might be walking on Exmoor. Its a massive walk from where his car is, but might be worth passing on to the police or checking out if someone is there.
Good luck guys. My thoughts are with him / you all. Doing as much as I can from Bristol.
It'd be bloody good going to get from his car at 3pm yesterday to exmoor. We heard a bit about the porlock walk too but knowing he's been seen so recently makes it unlikely. We've also got all the exmoor search team on the quantocks. Not many left over there!! Just hope he's local enough to be found or that he returns to his mums camper later this evening!!
does anyone actually know if the Police / S&R are requesting public en mass for a methodical organised search – i think that may well be the only way to utilise everyones feelings of being useless ???
is anyone in the position to ask the Police this Q as i think internerd response would be huge!
Charlie has called to say could anyone in the Exmoor/North Devon/coastal area, particularly Portlock/Watchet/Lynmouth/Lynton – please look out for Shane as it's believed he's gone walkabout along the coast. We believe some police spoke to him Saturday, they were unaware of the search for him at the time.
Cheers, think i feel a bit more positive after hearing that. Hope he's just gone on long walk and the daft bugger forgot he was meant to have the kids that weekend and the number 1 rule of going out on own – Always tell someone where yer going.
If the latest is that he's on the coast, has the Lilstock Beach Hut been checked? He likes it there, but it strikes as the first place to check so I'm probably stating the obvious.
