Public Service Announcement

Coloradoans, take note.
Driving home this morning, I noticed that there is a new message on all of the programmable signs along I-25. It read:

AMBER ALERT SYSTEM
96 GREEN SUBARU
LICENSE # 912EMD

and then:

IF SEEN
CALL 911

A little research shows that the Amber Alert system is for assisting in recovering a kidnapped child. I haven't seen anything on the news yet, so I don't have any details, but I thought that I'd throw this out for any Colorado readers.

Let's keep our eyes peeled, 'k?

UPDATE: Well, 9 News has the info on this.

BOULDER - Colorado's Amber Alert system was activated overnight for a 17-year-old Boulder County student with a medical condition.

Authorities issued the alert for Ryan Paul Witte, who is described as white, 5 feet 10 inches, about 125-135 pounds, with sandy brown hair and brown eyes.

Around 9 a.m. Friday, the Amber Alert was cancelled, but authorities said they were still searching for Witte, and were concerned about his health because he has a collapsed lung. Abduction is not suspected, authorities say.

The alert was cancelled because officials believe law enforcement and the public have been adequately notified.
