Admins: Please delete if any issues with this

Saw this on the East Lothian Police Facebook page and I believe it to be well known poster Hermit Crab. Hopefully this can maybe help in some way:

Police in East Lothian are appealing for information to help trace a missing 35-year-old man from Musselburgh.

Graham Rooney was last seen around 10am on Monday, 24 August, 2020 at his home in Musselburgh.

He is described as white, 6ft, bald, with brown eyes and it is believed he is wearing a Lacoste poloshirt, jeans and beige Adidas trainers with white stripes.

Sergeant Andrew Hope said: “We are appealing for the help of the public to trace Graham, who is believed to be in the Fife area.

“Anyone with any information on Graham or his whereabouts is asked to get in touch.”

Anyone with any information is asked to contact 101 quoting incident 0791 of 25 August, 2020.

His views on Hibs are certainly not mainstream but are sometimes on the ball. He certainly provokes a lot of conversation. Hope he's found safe and well and wondering what all the fuss is about. Don't think he'll be too chuffed to find his photo plastered all over social media though.

HC - if you do check in on this and need something, a friend of mine runs the Harbour House coffee shop in Elie. If you are in Fife and nearby I've spoken with Laura there and made sure that there's a hot drink and a cake for you, no questions asked. I'll cover the cost so no need to worry about that either.

Whether or not we disagree on football, there's a lot of people here just want to know you're safe.

I've deleted the photos that I posted on page 1 now that he's thankfully been found safe, they don't serve any further purpose.

I think the thread is okay to stay up for folks to post their relief and well wishes - but should anybody close to Graham happen to read this and prefer for the thread to be closed, don't hesitate to fire us a PM on here, or a DM on twitter at @hibsnet. Same goes for HC himself if/when he decides to drop by again. :aok:
