here is an interesting story about my uncle.
About two or three years ago, when my aunt was still well enough to drive, my aunt drove into the city with my uncle in the car beside him. My aunt had to go into a shop and left my uncle sitting in the inlocked car.
As my aunt was coming out of the shop she saw a woman get into the car and drive off with my uncle still in the car. My aunt panicked and a passerby had to call the police for her. The police treated the matter very seriously - an elderly blind man had been abducted.
Meanwhile my uncle in the car managed to stay calm and talked quietly to the woman. The woman told him she needed to get to Launceston (more than 200 km away). My uncle talked the woman into letting him out of the car telling her that he couldn't identify her or which direction she was going because he was blind. The woman let him out and some schoolgirls helped him make contact with the police.
The police had a fair idea who had abducted him. Th woman concerned had a history of mental illlness. The matter never went to court because my uncle was unable to formally identify her. The car was recovered a few days later.
