[quote=Anonymous]If you do want to get involved, you need to literally go to Grandma's house. You aren't there, and you say your dad is an asshole which means that you don't really know what is going on. Family members are reluctant to "take the keys" or "take the car" because Grandma owns both and "taking them away" is considered a crime. A person does not need to be able to drive in order to own a vehicle. All that is required is that they make or have made the required payments. Since you aren't there, I don't know how you'd call the cops. What would you say? "I think my Grandma may drive and she's 86 and doesn't have a liscense, can you go watch her and then arrest her?" I'd suggest you get to your grandma's house and see what's going on. Do you know she has food? What about toilet paper? From where I sit, it sounds like you just want Grandma's car. You admit she's living with someone who is there for his own self-interest. You don't mention any concern about her physical or emotional health. You just don't want her driving, which is fine if you were willing to make sure that she is being cared for appropriately. Go see Grandma, figure out what's really going on, then talk to the county's department on aging if need be and her doctor. They should be able to help you with next steps as the doctor especially can serve as a gateway. You also need to be very sure that you aren't fighting with your dad and using Grandma as amnution. Given the delay in mentioning your dad, I wonder about the purity of your intent. [/quote]
