What's kind of irking you, but might work out OK in the end?

After work tonight, I'm going over to my 76 y.o. cousin's house while he's at a family reunion, let myself in with a set of keys he gave me, and look for a spare car key. If I find one, I'm going to open his car, pop the hood, and disconnect the battery. Then I'll lock everything back up again and not speak of it.

It's going to cause him some anxiety, but he knows he shouldn't drive, and I may be saving his life or that of another person. Two accidents in the last 6 months, and his official driving record is horrible. I'm surprised he could get insurance.

Lots of meetings regarding him, and I'm hoping assisted living is in his very near future. I may end up with a durable power of attorney in all this. His dementia is getting bad.
