Before you say, why not, what's the harm, let me explain that the wife is, unfortunately, suffering from dementia and she's extremely unstable, difficult, and paranoid, so there's something to be said for keeping a low profile and not rocking the boat.

The house was actually occupied by a very sad-looking addict who had made a habit of leaving blood-soaked cotton balls and bandages throughout the house.

Don't make a habit out of that sort of transaction though, you might find yourself in trouble later.
