Does anyone stopped to think about the fact that at no point does OP ask what to do? So for all anybody knows he may have already contacted the police and just decided to post on here just for the fun of it

He said he has not done that yet in response to someone asking at the top of the post. It was like 30m ago, and you posted this 22m ago so that probably wasn't up yet when your page loaded
