I put posters throughout the whole neighbourhood including through doors and must have walked for miles over the same ground shouting his name. I don't know which, if any, of these things made a difference but after 16 days, he just walked back in. He had lost a lot of weight and smelled very musty. I am guessing he has been locked in somewhere against his will!

Hey that's great news Christine! Make sure he's got plenty of water - he could well be dehydrated if he's been shut in someone's shed or garage.Best wishes,Nick
