missing Poles in London

♂

Hi guys tonight on Facebook a friend and I were talking about a Polish guy we knew who lived in Wimbledon London from November 2007 to maybe March 2008. Previously he was living in Tottenham.

We knew him through some other Polish people that we knew and at the time he was down on his luck and living in a bit of a squat that was filled with South Africans and a lot dissaffected people. The house is pretty notorious in the Hayden's Park Road area.

Anyway the guy upped and left one night and was never seen again but we do know that the police were at the house looking for him on more than one occassion in the past. I have no idea, nor do I care, what for.

I was just wondering if anybody had any ideas about how I could have a search for this guy. Basically I dont want to find him I just want to make sure he isnt missing.

His name was Sylwester Goralski or Goranski. He was quite tall over six foot with blonde straight hair. At the time he was quite/very dishevelled and looked quite ill. In all honesty the guy looked, and sadly i believe, may have been mentally unwell. I'm not sure at all what part of Poland he was from but my pal thinks Katowice which he described in less than favourable terms.

Any help would be much appreciated.

On the Polish missing persons' database http://zaginieni.pl/baza-danych-osob-zaginionych there's only one person called Sylwester who's about that height. He's 29 but not blond. Different surname too.

If the police were looking for him, could he have been arrested and taken back to Poland?

Goranski is a rare name, but unfortunately Sylwester Goralski also means 'Highland New Year's Eve' in Polish so a google search would throw up a lot of hotel websites etc. Nevertheless, there's someone with that name on Facebook whose photo is available for all to see - why not see if that's him.
