Goods and chattels

All my phone time today was spent trying to track down an elderly friend of the family who has dropped off the grid. We think as she is quite ill, she’s gone into a nursing home, but confidentiality laws don’t permit staff to tell who their patients/residents are. This could be quite a task. She has no other family, and was fiercely independent, and lives in a country town 400km from Adelaide. Oh, and today, coincidentally, is her 90th birthday. 
I will sort this one out.
