why didn’t he turn it into the cab company?

I Don't recall the number, and he is sadly gone, but he liked to tell of the pittance he earned as a teacher.

He loved teaching and stuck with it for years.
Then his summer job offered him a full time position, he accepted and prospered.
It was a small school and he stayed in touch, planed to return for retirement.

He did not make it that far.

Or he will have a court appointed guardian, the money will evaporate, or something?

Sublimate?

Virtue is it's own reward.

One of many of my father's sayings.

He is as free as a bird in the air.

True, but he stills owes his soul to the company store!

Thanks for the respective replies.
I know the feeling when one is highly imaginative, waiting and waiting for the door to open. Then there is always reflector tape one could slap on the machine. Just a suggestion (chuckle).
