OH NO! Not ANOTHER one! Who is taking care of this man? If he was evaluated by an MD about his condition. Weren’t his caretakers instructed how to deal with him? While either condition is extremely serious, a combination of Alzheimer’s and Dementia is deadly — to him and others if he’s driving!

I once found a guy driving on the sidewalk in San Francisco. He was totally out-of-it! I flagged down a police cruiser and told the cop about him. They had a hard time getting him to stop. People were running in every direction. Luckily, no one was hit. The guy finally crashed into a building. When the got him out of the vehicle, he was totally incoherent. So sad!

Was he found yet? It’s been over 72 hours. This is the reason people like him should have some kind of homing device on his person AND the car. Surely, today’s technology can create such a gadget.
