Mate missing in Ibiza

[subversplat]

One of my friends who is known for his, let's say, interesting life choices decided to book a one-way flight to Ibiza a few months ago with the idea of living out the rest of his thirties in the sun and flange filled Spanish isle. Unfortunately he's a bit of a twat and has ended up homeless and broke. The only problem is that I've heard this second hand through Facebook from somebody else he met over there who has since come back to the UK. Does anybody know if there's some way of getting the Ibizan police to put out an APB or something and get him picked up? There's a group of us here in town who are willing to pay for his return ticket, but we need to find and contact the silly sod first. Any ideas? All help appreciated!

Have you tried contacting the British embassy/consulate? (what is the difference?)

Does he want to be found?

We have one embassy per country, usually in the capital, and consulates in secondary cities. So in this case, the consulate.

The definitions can vary for countries which are hostile or Commonwealth or otherwise different.

Oh yes definitely, his last Facebook update was "xxx wants to go home. wherever that is."

The consulate is on our list of people to contact, thanks, but I was also wondering whether anybody had any stories or ingenious ideas as well, in the spirit of community participation.

Ibiza party communities on FB? Someone might be able to give you some advice.

I don't mean post "Do you know *****, can you help?" but you might get some pointers

The Brit consulate / embassy will be able to help they will do all the groundwork and liase with the Spanish coppery

I have a lot of contacts in Ibiza. PM me his name and any other info and I'll see what I can find out. (I'm flying elsewhere tomorrow afternoon so if you can do tonight I'll get on it tomorrow morning).

Don't worry too much, people get in all sorts of states in a season Ibiza and are fine once it all wears off.

He's been found and been given a ticket home. Thanks for all your suggestions! It's been a learning experience
