Hey guys, anyone hear from Dick lately? He last activity here was in August and there's unanswered posts on FB asking him about his status with no replies in late September. Anyone near Erie, PA, Dick's home town?

Dick if you're out there please check in.

 

Im glad you brought this up. I was wondering the same thing. I hope he is just busy building something.

 

I was wondering about Dick when I posted a while back about a certain scam artist he had a personal interest in. I was sure Dick would have had input about the subject. I even messaged him, no response.

 

I live in Erie. I couldn't find anything under the name "Crabtree", but I did find a Richard Crabtree that lives about 7 miles from me. I'll do some more digging to see if I can find a phone number and give him a call.

 

That would be great 👍

 

His last name is Crabtree. He wouldn't mind if you just dropped by, I believe.

 

Sorry guys, especially Dick. I didn't catch the error in Dick's last name. Thanks Ross.

 

Doc messaged me earlier suggesting I contact local Erie hospitals if we don't hear from Dick.

 

I called his number and didn’t get an answer......

 

I doubt they will tell you anything due to HIPAA regulations.

Later!
Mr. Ed

 

Doc said they'd probably give you his room number.

 

I struck out with a phone number (not in the Erie phone book). Do we know for sure that he is in a hospital, or is that just speculation? I could certainly stop by his place one evening on the way home from work, if nobody knows for sure that he's in one of the area hospitals. Do you think that would OK to do that?

 

Dick has had some serious medical problems in the past so it's all speculation on my part that he could be in a hospital. His internet service have been down. He could have gotten on his big three wheeler and headed out somewhere with a bronzed beauty, none of us seem to know. There was another shout out for him on FB yesterday with no reply.

If you would stop by his place I am sure Dick would appreciate knowing that we are all concerned. Just be prepared Dick is just as strange in person as he is on the net. He's quite the character.

 

Well I didn't say they'd give you his room number, but even in these days of HIPPA out the ears, they'll connect you to a hospital room sometimes. A lot of times nowadays a patient will have a security phrase for privacy. But if you get connected to a nursing station or his room, you'll get your answer even if you don't know the secret password. It's one of my pet peaves with HIPPA, and a big loophole.

 

At what point would it be advisable to contact law enforcement for a welfare check?
