Well I think you have the right answer in adopting the gentlemen,  
unfortunately the world is full 
of mooching thieves who will take advantage of the least able to look out  
for themselves.

Little  background.  Son #3's girlfriend does in-home support work.  She  
doesn't drive, so she was fired from one job.  She got a call today from  the 
elderly gentleman (job she lost) who BEGGED her to get a license so she  
could work for him again.

So, we stopped by there today and she told  him she'd work real hard to get 
a license next week or the week after at the  latest.  Seems his current 
worker hasn't shown up for work 6 days over  the last 3 weeks.  He has a 
spinal injury, has an electric wheelchair and  is also on O2 due to the 
resulting 
surgery which made everything worse.   I'd say he's about 85.  And he has 
no family.

While we were there  he was looking real sad and depressed and we asked him 
what was wrong.   He said nothing and then started telling us about a prior 
worker who came by  (she'd been fired by the county because she took 
$11,000 of his money) and  said she was going to the Community Turkey Dinner 
yesterday.  He asked if  she'd bring him a plate back.  Bobbi, who runs the 
dinner, does plates  for folks all the time.  It isn't a big deal.  AND, you 
can 
look  across a field and see his house from the community dining hall at the 
local  fairgrounds.

NO DINNER!  Did I mention that he refused to  prosecute her (the county is 
anyway) and he told the DA that he didn't want  her to get any jail time, 
that he just wanted her to start making some  payments to pay him back.

What is wrong with people?  This world  is going to hell in a hand basket 
and I think it needs to stop so I can get  off.  Either that or I'm moving to 
an island and becoming a  hermit.

At anyrate, we had a family meeting and we're adopting  him!

Lynda, who just needed to vent, so I'll get off my soapbox  now.
