Is that all the info you have?
What was the purpose of his trip? Have your local police looked for credit card activity?
Is he well?
Any photos?
Was he driving a car? What type/color?
The more info, the better.

Come on, Cynthia!
We Nomads want to help. Please answer all of Dennis' questions and then use your imagination and come up with more details. Any photos of your father.
If you don't know how to post photos, you can do a search on this forum. Also, David K. can assist you.
Does he have any friends in Baja/ Was he going to visit anyone or anything in particular. What is the year of the Ford Ranger? What is the license
plate number? You can get this info. from the Mx. insurance company.
What about police work, on the U.S. side and/or the Baja side? Did you report it to the U.S. Embassy? Do you have any reason to believe he doesn't
want to be found?
Does he still have money in his account? Have you traced the ATM locations of his last withdrawls? Was that still in Tijuana?

How about some more info.
Driving? Vehicle type? If not, how was he getting there?
Description...height , age, weight.....those kinds of things.
Where was he supposed to go to in T.J. or Rosarito?
Have you filed missing persons report anywhere yet?
I think the more info you can provide the better the response could be.

Very few. Don't want to appear cynical, but, we all know what a great resource this forum can be, especially when people have trouble SOB. but,
obviously, it appears that cynthia is not motivated to share vital info. If she's still reading this forum, she needs to know that everyone wants to
help in a crisis.

Just had a thought. I once went into a town trying to find a guy I hadn't seen in awhile. When I asked around folks were tight lipped. I realized that
they didn't know me and were being careful. I could be out to do the guy harm was the thinking I guess.
If you know "Cynthia's dad" tell him that his daughter is looking for him before you post his location on the world wide web or tell "Cynthia" his
location.

Some kids are closer to their parents than others so, maybe she doesn't know.
If anyone comes across her dad, he'll fill in the blanks.
She sees our thoughts here. If that doesn't motivate her to be a bit more proactive, this will go nowhere.

Please understand I am not being snooty or skimpy with the information. I'm posting this from work and I wasn't expecting this much feed back so
quickly, and I appreciate it. I'm trying to find out the plate number. Also, I'm attempting to file a missing persons rept in San Diego. Its difficult
since he's an adult and went to MX of his own free will.
My father has black and gray hair and brown eyes. If you watch the tv show NCIS, he sometimes likes to keep his hair like Gibbs. He is about 5 ft 8
inches. I'd say around 160lbs.
The problem is I haven't seen much of him in months. He recently got back from a trip to Costa Rica. Immediately after, he went to my grand parents'
house in San Diego (I live in Las Vegas). From there he went to MX. He said he was going to Rosarito Beach to rent a room near the beach. However, my
dad does things spur of the moment, so he may have changed his mind.
A look at his bank records show that the maximum daily withdrawl has been taken several times, and the last time his card was used was on August 16.
It also shows that in the middle of July, he stayed at the Baja Del Sol Inn motel.
I will have my grandparents send me the most recent picture of his face, and I will figure out how to upload it here.
My dad is an appliance repair technician. He likes to drink beer. I'll continue to update when i think of more info.
Thank you all so much!

Thank you Cynthia for the details!
Baja Nomad is the most active forum on Baja, so you came to the right place!
I hope your father pops up soon... He sounds like a lot of Nomads I know!

Good to see some more info.
As others have said this forum is very active and even more so when someone is missing (or in need).
I would suggest you check this forum several times a day (if possible) and make a post daily with any new or additional info. Your continued updates
will keep up interest in the search.

Does not sound good
I would be VERY concerned that his card "hit the daily limit then stopped on August 16th" His daughter should definately contact the embassy and
local authorities.

I am in contact w/ someone at the Embassy. He (somehow) got a hold of my dad's email address and sent him a message. I've been checking to see if he's
read his emails (as I have his password), but he hasn't.
My dad is a bit of a Nomad himself, so I'm very hopeful that he's having too much fun...I will work on constructing a flyer, my grandparents say they
have a very good pic of him.
My dad enjoyed staying @ a hostel in Costa Rica, so he may be @ one somewhere in Baja.
I posted on craigslist first, mainly because my dad likes craigslist and I was hoping he'd see it. Someone then clued me in on baja nomad 
Although I am very concerned about the amount of money that has been withdrawn from his acct, 2 weeks before his last withdrawl the same amout was
taken out. I am hoping he is using this amount to live on...

I know it's a stretch, but a picture of his vehicle would help as well. I know not everybody has that, but ..........

CYNTHIA - how old is he ?
LET'S HOPE HE IS HAVING A GOOD TIME .... but for sure we will keep an eye out for him
Amazing how we all pull together so fast ... the rest of the world does not always pull together in the right direction, I bet Cynthia was not ready
for so many of us in so many parts of Mexico to be on the lookout for her.
The only hostels I know of is the one in Erendira and there is another one in BOLA - anyone know of another one ????? Does anyone have a way to
contact the guy in Erendira ? I will send an email right now to the one in BOLA. (done)

Ok Dennis, thanks! I'll see if I can find one.
Last time I saw my dad, he smoked like a chimney. And he loves to fish. He is 56 years old. He has a large scar on his abdomen from a few surgeries.
He likes to say the surgeon "got a little knife happy".
His dog (Misty) is not with him, but she is just like his daughter. She is a basset hound and I'm sure he talks about her often! : ) His teeth
probably look perfect because he has a dentist in TJ (I'll try to find out who?).

"... 2 weeks before his last withdrawl the same amount was taken out."
Optimistically, that sounds reasonable if you pay for a hotel for a week at a time and meals, etc. His bank should be able to pinpoint the place of
the withdrawals I think, so you'd at least know if he left Rosarito. May be time for another withdrawal in a day or two.

Cynthia, even an older picture of your dad will be helpful - we can fill in the blanks and we number in the hundreds (maybe thousands ??) viewing this
site on a daily basis.
8/26 BAY OF LA HOSTEL has not seen yr dad but will keep an eye out.
