Former NRL player Chad Robinson left home two nights ago with no shoes, phone or wallet in an act that's utterly out of character, his family says.
The 36-year-old father of three left his Kellyville home in Sydney's northwest about 9.30pm on Saturday, and his family reported him missing the same night.
The family has not heard from the former Parramatta Eels and Sydney Roosters player, whose younger brother is former Cronulla Sharks prop Tim Robinson, in the two days since.
His family on Monday addressed the media in the hopes someone has spotted Robinson's distinctive silver Subaru Outback, with the plates CME54F and damage to the panels on both passenger doors and a left-side mirror.
"We dearly miss our brother and really want to see him come home," Robinson's sister Monique Brennan said through tears.

"We love him and we can't imagine life without him so we just ask if anyone has seen Chad or his car, can you please come forward and assist us....
"We're absolutely devastated, because it is so out of character and he's just a beautiful person that wants to help everybody, and it is sad that we just don't know what to do to help him."
She said she had seen her brother about 11.30am on Saturday and that he had spent the day away from his family home, returning about 5.30pm before leaving again at 9.30pm.
"There wasn't a fight or an incident like that. There was absolutely nothing like that," Ms Brennan said.
"He's just got in his car without anything, he hasn't got any shoes on either, you know - he's just in his shorts and T-shirt, so we just really want him to come home."
She said an outpouring of support following an appeal on social media, which has been shared more than 1500 times since Sunday, had helped lift the family's spirits.
"He is loved by a lot of people, especially in the football community," Ms Brennan said.
Robinson has been described as a nature lover who enjoys bushwalking and has previously been known to frequent bush areas around Windsor and Kurrajong.
