I appreciate that the Mods do so much on this site and that it’s onerous to ask them to do more but, as @JimInOz posts, his address is known and they will probably have his name, from the direct debit account if not elsewhere.

That said, they will have a data protection obligation not to disclose any of the details and, as a consequence, the Mods are probably the only ones able to write to the address or 'care of' the bank from which the standing order was paid.

I can’t imagine any other option.

I feel bad about alpha. IMO he had the finest watch collection on OF. He always took the time to tell me what a particular model he had on if I DM him and even the back story behind the watch.
I’ll hold back any speculation as even with bad signs I’ve seen weird things happen and just say I hope he is doing as well as he can be regardless of whatever journey he took. Thanks alpha for all those brief talks we had and thanks for showing off the beautiful collection daily.

I admire Alpha most for his obvious love of family and dogs, and his positive good nature. Secondarily, his sense for watch collecting. He had some great high dollar pieces, but he was never too snobby for a bargain piece (especially if it was a gift from a family member).

We did use the information we had to probe as much as we were able to, including business records and property transactions, we just didn’t get a lead that tells us anything definitive nor were we able to find a family member we could get in touch with

I had imagined that you would have done anything possible and I’m sure that all OF members appreciate your efforts. Thanks 🙏

How terribly sad. I looked at old posts in the pet lovers thread. The beagles nearly made me cry. Wherever he is, I hope his wee boys are with him, playing and carrying sticks and all. Very sad.
