Woke up at 1:45 this morning with DH missing. First time he’s ever done anything like this. Sheriff’s office had helicopter going, canine units, added bloodhounds, silver alert, the works. So scary! They found him at around 9 about 4 miles away.
He used to always carry his wallet which I had an AirTag in, but stopped carrying anything in his pockets. I never thought about AirTag in the shoes before (suggestion from the deputy) but since he always has his shoes on, this should work. Also ordered a door alarm. I hope this was a one-off but I’m afraid this might be a new normal. 😞
I toured my first MC facility the other day as my plan B. I guess I need to think more seriously about that.
