Thanks SouthA. I wondered what that button was for.

As some have already noted if this is indeed a major crime, there is a major secondary crime to be discussed in allowing all those police, SES, defence force, volunteer and private corporations to waste all their time, effort and money when Gus never wandered off. The wasted cost alone, in the midst of a cost of living and housing crisis, is abhorrent. While it pales in comparison to what may have happened to poor Gus, it really makes me disgusted that someone could sit back and watch all that going on, all those people searching in the summer heat and dust, knowing full well Gus is not there.

I totally agree, and to add to that - all those people searching for Gus were in a certain amount of danger too: from mine shafts, snakes, heatstroke. They were "happy" to do it of course, but I'll be really angry if it turns out to have been completely unnecessary, due to a very selfish person who must not be named yet.
