I guess that's got to be as accurate as GPS then which is pretty accurate isnt it?

It's probably a triangulated location from telephone masts, accuracy varies massively, from probably very close in the city centre to being not so close if it's in the country. Normally accurate to a few hundred meters I think.

Cheers for the positivity Barnshaw, I know it's becoming increasing more worrying but there could be a number of circumstances in which we shouldnt expect the worst.

I know no-one on here will know him but there's a few users local to Hinckley or the surrounding area.

Hope he turns up safe and sound. I know exactly how it feels when someone you love just disappears out of the blue.

In a way, i can see the think the worst side of the story, i guess if your prepared for the worst, anything else is going to be a walk in the park.
I hope it doesnt come to that. Been a few lads go missing round here recently as well. :/
Hope you find him soon, as i dread to think what his family/friends are going through

Sorry tiger but get of this website and get out looking for him, the weather is horrible and I would hate to think that if his head is in a bad place right now then he won't be thinking of getting into shelter.
I do hope he is safe and well though for his and his family's sake

Friend of mine was in a bad way recently, nearly went missing & if she did it would have been fatal. Hope he's found soon Tiger, I'm not religious but I hope God, or whoever he prays to, is with him.
Do the local peelers not have a helicopter with radar and heat-seeking equipment? That's how we found the last bloke (my mate) who went missing here.

He might have just had enough of the shit world we live in and wants to get away for a short while, maybe even commando style? Is he at all like that? Or is he a pampered home type boy with no skills?
Just stay positive mate.

Suppose him not being found can be a good thing in a way

I hope hes alright but generally when people say they are going to 'run away'/'kill them selves' they are just looking for attention and havent actually got the balls to do it.

I deal with missing persons all the time. Some run away from problems, others dont want to be where they are ( ie at home, in care etc) others do take their own lives - i have known (and found) several who have done this. Phone triangulation is a good sign. If there's a ping, it means the phone's on. If its on the move, then all the better, just a case of finding them. Police do everything they can to find 'mispers', but our resources are stretched without the extra workload. People dont realise this. not all forces have access to helicopters either - often they will try to get one, but the costs are horrendous - £1000s per hour.

Which is more than worth someones life, if they are on the verge of suicide or mentally unstable etc.
Rather see my tax money being spent on people who need it, than the scum bags that abuse it

All very true but unfortunately they work to a budget so it's not always possible.
Tiger - hope they find him....

Unfortunately one isnt always available. We have asked for one on various occasions - both neighbouring forces have been out of service / committed / pilots out of hours / low on fuel etc. Have on occasion had Coastguard in too, but they have 100+ mile flight to enter our area, so are limited on time in the air, so generally wont come unless life/death. Missing persons are graded low/medium/high risk in my force. Unless theres a reason to grade high ie self harmer, suicide note, pills/knives missing etc, then most will be medium risk. Police will be looking and working through a series of tasks of enquiries, however, unless high risk, every officer will not be out looking. Harsh as that seems, its not an offence for someone to go missing, or for someone to decide they want a fresh start and to effectively 'disappear' from everyone they know.

People say 1000's is worth it per hour, you thi k how many people go missing for attention (not saying your mate is) if they sent a helicopter out everyone costs would be massive per year. It's silly for their POV.
Of course I hope your mate is fine, it will soon get to the point when hardest bit is not knowing if he is alive unfortunately
