Earwig

While this residents' group is mainly dealing with the important matter of missing cats, where they might be, have they packed their toothbrush, and why they have run away, if indeed they have run away rather than simply minded their own business and gone where they please, I wonder if anyone has seen my earwig? I'm looking after it for a friend so I am concerned that she will return from her holidays to face the devastating news that Henry has run away.

He is a handsome fellow, quite tall, with a burnished brown jacket and trousers. He has a small collar and perhaps a trailing leash, because I cannot find it in the house (though of course it is only a short length of cotton).
Henry told me he was going to Stratford on Avon two days ago (he is a Shakespeare fan) but he has not returned as expected.
He might be carrying a cane and wearing a monocle.
He is not chipped and tagged due to the refusal of the local veterinary authorities to perform the necessary procedures.
TIA
