spoke to UK Agent 16.10hrs Sat

Still no news

German, French and UK Police all alerted

Can’t keep an eye out for this guy as I’m stuck indoors for the forseeable future. But If there’s anything I can do to help from here, please let me know.

Hope he’s found safe and well soon.

A small detail perhaps, but it might make a difference…

AFAIAA the VRN should read LU VK 162 i.e. there is a space between the LU and the VK (just in case some one is looking out for 4 digits together). This would indicate a vehicle from the Ludwigsafen area.

Is there a description of the driver available?? (or better still, a photo?)

Sorry everybody this appears to be a total mystery, have spoken to the german company they say ■■? . still we all live in hope .

Why is there no publicity over this matter?

This is a serious situation yet I’ve seen no mention of the case either on TV or in the press…or maybe I just missed it?

His family must be extremely distraught, my thoughts are with them and I hope the guy is found safe and well.

John, This seems to be a strange situation, where did you get the information from. Nothing has ben broadcast regarding this person as far as I am aware . . He may not want to be found== strange things do happen. or he could have been abducted by unscrupulous persons or even picked up by customs for some “Little” misdemeanor.

Thanks to everybody for your help, phone calls, e-mails etc etc. It has now come to light that the police was holding him for reasons I cannot share with you. He is now back in Germany save and sound.

Simple really

It all comes down to the Data Protection Act

in France the system is------------------

The French authorities notify the local Consular office they are holding a foriegn national who then have to WRITE to the prison to ask the prisoners permission in writing, (by post) to notify who he/she wishes to be informed of their whereabouts.

The Consular Office then inform their superiors who then inform the people concernerd

In our case this took about 4 long worrying days
