Help needed in Birmingham

[kitesurfer]

I urgently need to speak to anyone who lives in the Birmingham area. I have just found out my mum has terminal cancer and I need to get in contact with my brother. He sells the big issue usually and begs for money. He is very approachable. His name is Andrew Rodbourne. He is 5 foot 6 inches. Last time I saw him 1 year ago he was missing a lot of his front teeth and had long hair. He usually has a beard and is generally well spoken. Also he usually wears a hat. He needs to contact me on 0085264458999 or contact my house in England 01132828065. Please pass this on to anyone you know living in the Birmingham area. My mum is very ill in Sri Lanka and It is very important I contact him. my mum is living in Sri Lanka at the moment and I am working in Hong Kong. Please if anyone could write down the numbers and if you see a person who looks similar please pass the numbers on.

Could still be true though - stalkers have mothers, if this person is the stalker

Yeah I know Ethel, I wasn't saying this post wasn't true. I was just clarifying that her who put that stalker link in (forgot her name now) was claiming that kite here is the stalker not his brother.

[kitesurfer]

this has made me realize something about this place. and it was blatently a waste of time me making a thread about this

[redcrx]

are the police any nearer findijng him?

they were very good when we needed to contact my uncle when my grandad was very very ill.

I hope not, kite - I would be very surprised indeed if the Salvation Army can't help you, or the Birmingham City Mission.

Another one to try is The Boot -

0121 472 7646‎

Just outside Birmingham City Centre, but they mainly deal with under 25s

If this one is true, I hope it's not a waste of time.
That's the trouble with those who cry wolf...

[redcrx]

sadly gravy, this is a typical example of the boy who cried wolf.
Im taking your Q at face value but Im sure you can see why there a lot that arent.

[lozzylou]

have you any idea where about he sells the big issue, is it in birmingham town? i live in birmingham and we have 3 peple selling the big issue just in my local shopping centre. do you have any more info about what part of brum he is in

[kitesurfer]

i dont understand though? i used to post stupid stuff in a&n and joke about prostitutes on cb etc. why is that a case of boy cried wolf?

[B00]

Kite- instead of arguing the toss with folk over, compared to the subject matter of your post, a trivial matter. Why don't you use your time wisely?

Phone the numbers helpful people have supplied. Have you tried phoning your friends back in the UK, especially those who might live in or near Birmingham, see if they'll go out and look for your brother?
