"I want to drive again, but those guys want to take my car away," Morello said. "They've got another thing coming."
That's the kind of spunk that kept him going.  A pretty resourceful guy for someone who's 84 and has some dementia.
Interesting that it took 5 days to find him.  Cave Creek is pretty close to northern Phoenix as I recall.  Not exactly remote country.  Maybe they didn't have a good idea of where to look?
