A driver left his car at gas station while it is being fill up with gas. He completely forgotten his car. The police has to inform him by phone.
Does his condition resemble dementia?

Maybe that, or he just doesn't drive much.

I have known people with dementia, both senility and Alzheimer's. I've seen them forget something cooking on the stove; tell the same stories again and again within an hour's time; forget where they parked a car (but knowing they have forgotten and can't find it); not recognize close family members or think their daughter was their wife (close resemblance, give or take 25 years); flush false teeth down the toilet, etc. I have never seen or heard of someone undertaking a really complex action like taking the car to a service station for gas, then leaving it and walking home without it. That sounds more like a variation on sleepwalking. Whatever it is, I wish them luck. Watching someone you love, even a dog, with any kind of dementia is a terrible thing.
