If the underside of the car battery is accessible, they should drill a hole in it and let the electrolyte out of one cell (careful not to let it get in the face or on the skin). With the battery dead the car won’t be a bomb hazard any more.

Think about how crappy your job would be if you were the lucky guy who gets to disconnect the battery on that vehicle.

Being a ‘98 and a Dodge, all that stuff is probably needed to get the thing started!
