It's been more than a week since family members have seen a 71-year-old San Diego man and police are asking for the public's help in the case.
Investigators say Luong Le was last seen Sept. 9 driving away from his home in the northeast area of San Diego.
Le recently suffered a heart attack that landed him in the hospital, his daughter Vickie Dang told NBC 7. Three days later, after his release from the hospital, Le walked into his garage and drove off in the family’s minivan.
"When he left, he just slowly walked out to the garage without saying goodbye or without saying, 'I'm going here or going there,' so my mom just assumed he go out to the garage," said Dang.
However, when he didn't come home, Le's wife contacted police. He left without his medication and phone.
Dang said she searched some familiar areas around the couple’s home with her dad's dog but found no trace of him.
"I think it must be something in his mind or something I don't know," his daughter said. "We already called; we did everything we could. I don't know what else can we do."

Le may be driving a black 2003 Honda Odyssey with the California license plate 5DTL675.
He was wearing a blue short-sleeve shirt, tan pants and Adidas sandals, according to police.
Le left his medication at home, police said.
The van has a 3x5-inch yellow duck sticker on the rear window.
