Amber alerts for the befouled


This was hard to get my mind around, but on W____ Ave here in D_____, there was a home-made two-sided sign out all weekend that read:
LOOKING FOR
TIM WELLS
ANY INFO

(937) 837 70__

with the "Look!" cartoon pupils drawn in "looking." Is this Tim a missing child? A teen? An errant dad? Just some guy who never came home from fishing? Or maybe it's a good example of community closeness that if you haven't seen someone, are indeed looking for them, just put a sign out and, given that everyone knows everyone, someone may call and say "Yeah, I just seen Tim down to the Sunoco buying him some scratchoffs."
