Gathering all the information you know about the person will help you find them. Write down their name, what they looked like, where you last saw them, and when you last heard from them. The more details you can provide, the better. If you can, talk to any of the person's friends or family that you know. Head to all the major search engines and start typing in the person's name. Try Google, Yahoo, and Bing. Place the person's name in quotation marks and try entering in general information about them as well. For example, type in "Thomas White", "Thomas White Mexico", or "Thomas White truck driver" to narrow down your search. Different search engines access unique data sets and return results differently, so you might find good information on one that isn't available on another. Search the person's name on major sites like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google+. You can also check older sites, like MySpace. Even old or abandoned profiles can be helpful in your search. Look for global online databases, which will let you search in Mexico and all over the world for the missing person. If the person turns up in one of these databases, you may be able to see where they're living and where they work, and be able to get in touch with them. Even if the person has been missing for a long time, it's a good idea to contact your country's embassy or consulate in Mexico to let them know you're trying to track them down. The embassy can get in touch with local authorities and give you any information they have about the person. Find your embassy's phone number online from an official government site. Contact the US Embassy by calling 011-52-55-5080-2000. To call the US Embassy from Mexico, dial 55-5080-2000. Contact the British Embassy by calling 020-7008-1500. To call the British Embassy from Mexico, call 0052-55-1670-3200. If your search efforts aren't turning up any results, try calling a private investigator. Ask them how much experience they have investigating in Mexico and finding missing persons, and ask for their track record on previous cases. Private investigators can often be expensive, but their professional services may be worth the money if you're determined find the person.

Article: Both hard and soft cat carriers will allow you to safely carry your cat to and from the vet. The harder ones are better for vehicle transport. Training your cat to enter the carrier could take a few hours or a few weeks. In order to have sufficient time to test it out before use, try to obtain a carrier 1-4 weeks prior to the appointment. If you already have a carrier, make sure that he can still fit inside of it. If you do not have a carrier, one can be purchased at your local pet store, department store, or online. As an alternative, you could ask to borrow a carrier from a friend or possibly find one at your local thrift store, but be sure to clean and dry it thoroughly before use. A little vinegar added to mild soap and water will help eliminate odors. Carriers should be large enough for your cat to turn all the way around in it. If you choose to purchase a carrier online, do so far in advance of the appointment to ensure that you receive the carrier in time to habituate your cat to it. It is likely that your cat will turn tail when she sees the carrier, so don't pull it out from storage right before leaving for the appointment. This could make her remember the last time you went to the vet, if that experience was traumatizing. Use the carrier at nap and play time. This will help eliminate negative associations your cat might have to the carrier. To get him used to the carrier (again), first line it with shredded newspapers and a couple of small towels or large strips of fabric that contain a scent familiar to your cat. Put cat treats in and around the carrier to lure her inside. It might take some time for your cat to enter the carrier, so add fresh treats when needed. Once she seems comfortable in and around the carrier, you can put her in it. Quietly close the carrier door, and speak soothingly to her. Be gentle when placing your cat in the carrier. If she still refuses, do not force her in. Instead, give her more time to get used to it. " Once inside the carrier, taking your cat on short drives through the neighborhood could help ease your cat's anxiety. Gently carry your cat to your vehicle, or to the train, subway, or bus stop. On public transportation, use a large towel to cover the carrier, so that your cat will be less anxious. Place the carrier on a seat. If you are driving, buckle the carrier in for safety. Speak soothingly to your cat, or play soft music during the drive. Lengthen the trip each time, until the day of the appointment. Be sure to bring plastic bags, mild disinfecting wipes, and small towels for cleanup in case she has an accident during the trip.
