    @RJ: and what? The police should ask the public’s help in tracing his whereabouts? I guess they could just DM him and maybe he’ll tell them. lol

    @Steve Monk: just saw it myself. And he updated his profile photo a day ago. He’s not missing so this is very weird.

    He’s out there somewhere. Someone will hopefully see him and get him home. Hope this is sooner than later.
