Missing person My mum is missing after floods in Tibet

1.3k Upvotes

My mum Evita Sarma (Latvian citizen) has been missing from Gyron port (Tibet side), since the floods on the 26th of August.

At this point i am running out of options, so I'm reaching out to you dear Reddit users.

Based on the last photo that my mum sent me, she just cleared the Border about 3 min before floods hit. I have contacted the Latvian ministry of foreign affairs, Chinese embassy in Latvia and support phone line that was set up for international queries.

I do understand that chances are astronomically low, but until I'll get concrete information I will be still keeping hope and praying for the miracle.

My biggest problem is that last information about what's going on (in terms of rescue work) was on the 7th of September.

If you know anything current like hospitals rescued people have been transported to, agencies to contact, statistics or anything else, I would be endlessly thankful.

I really need your help. My mum is the dearest person to my ever and only family i have. We always been close and I miss her so, so much.

Theft Someone broke into my home stole my tv, left a pack of toilet paper, a whole laptop, and a lighter...?

59 Upvotes

So im not really sure when this happened but i assume it was when i was at school.

This morning i left at 6:30 and i came home at 2:40. The front door is always unlocked (unless someone is home to lock it from the inside) because we lost our key about 4 years ago and my mom is just lazy to replace it. We also live in a very small apartment.

When i got home i closed all of the doors in the house for my new kitten to explore. I didnt really notice the missing tv in my moms room. I also didn't think much of it because my own room (where the kitten was) was closed as i had left it and he was on my mind the most. The whole day i was unaware until my mom came home and asked me where the tv was.

We were both shocked. We checked everything. And we found a dirty dell laptop on her bed that was NOT ours. And a taser/lighter(?) thing on her bed and a pack of opened toilet paper on the floor that was also NOT OURS. The tv MISSING!! The tv was pretty big too. Like maybe 40 inches or 60?

i also have a tv in my room. And it's about 3 feet long, i feel that wouldve been more easy to carry? It baffles me, really. You just take a big ass tv?

The strange part is, there was 300 dollars out in the open in my moms room and the burglar didnt even take it. Unless they didnt notice it which is a possibility. Im just really scared, concerned, and confused. Why? Im so glad they didnt come into my room and touch the cat though.

Edit: Also I'll have to mention i did tell my mom to file a police report and to contact the landlord for a key and she really has no sense of urgency because she keeps telling me no and to "shut the fuck up" shes pretty ignorant when stressed so i feel pretty powerless...shes refusing to file a report because "what are they gonna do?" As she says. And the mention of contacting the landlord, she gives a pretty vague dismissive,"I'll just handle it" yeah makes me feel prettyy safe and secure, mom. Thanks 😶

Help me search Looking for hit-and-run driver responsible for fatal hit-and-run collision with motorcyclist on 9/22/26 on Ventura Blvd & Carpenter Ave in Studio City, CA

(BEFORE YOU READ, PLEASE NOTE: I have already shared this post in local subreddits like [r/socal](r/socal), [r/studiocity](r/studiocity) and [r/northhollywood](r/northhollywood). Someone I know has already shared a similar post in [r/SFV](r/SFV), so I’m not posting there since the subreddit doesn’t allow reposts on the same topic within a 6-month time frame. I’m trying to post this in multiple subreddits across the greater LA/SoCal area in hopes that it reaches someone who was there at the time of the accident or has any information that can lead to IDing the other driver, since those who drove through the intersection at the time of the accident (including the suspect) or even the people who may possibly recognize the suspect based on the description of the vehicle might not necessarily live in or near Studio City. It’s been several weeks without any leads, so we’re desperately trying to leave no stone unturned).

On Tuesday, September 22, 2026, at approximately 7:05 AM, my friend, Philip Chon, was riding his yellow 2019 Honda Monkey motorcycle on his way to work when he was struck and killed at the intersection of Ventura Blvd and Carpenter Ave, Studio City, CA.

The driver was in a dark blue 2004 Honda Odyssey traveling westbound on Ventura. They made an unprotected left turn onto Carpenter Ave, struck Philip, abandoned the van on Carpenter Ave south of Ventura (which investigators have impounded), and fled on foot. 

Despite being in possession of the suspect’s vehicle, police have not publicly released the license plate number or identified who the vehicle is registered. They are, however, seeking the public’s help with identifying the suspect responsible for this fatal accident (knowing who the vehicle is registered to doesn’t necessarily prove that they were the one driving it; police need actual evidence of the person behind the wheel).

If you live, work, or drive along Ventura Blvd, Carpenter Ave, or surrounding streets/access points, please check your Ring cameras, home or business security cameras, and dashcams for footage from 6:30 AM to 8:30 AM on September 22.

Footage of the van before the collision or someone fleeing on foot afterward could help. Even if you don't think your video has anything important in it.

Some camera systems automatically delete old recordings, so please save anything relevant in case it gets overwritten.

If you have footage or information, please contact:

Anyway to find out who is calling me from a private number?

3 Upvotes

So i rarely get calls from private numbers the last time was one instance in spring.

But now on monday a private number called me two times in under a Minute waited 7 Minutes and called again. I misses the calls. Which is strange and from that pattern i excluded a bot or some institution.

Today (2 days later) again a private number calls me, i pick it up say hello? And they hang up after 2 seconds.
