One idea that I used was to take my wife's picture to the police department and give them information about her so that if she was lost they could put out an APB (all-points bulletin) to help locate her. Fortunately we never had to use that procedure.

I did that very thing yesterday. My partner sneaked out of the grocery store yesterday & was gone for 4 hours. Local police copied a photo of him that I had on my phone. Hours later my partner wandered into a restaurant 3 miles down the road. The waitress thought he seemed “off” so she called the police. They matched the woman’s description to the photo I provided & picked him up. You never know what will save you.
