Yes, he did.

This will be my last post on this subject. I appreciate everyone's answers. But, they miss my point. If Tony and the guys had taken Puss on a fishing trip over a couple of days and he had taken his own car, I could understand how his wife might believe that he could, in that circumstance, had the time to decide on going into the protection program. In that circumstance he had his own car so he could drive where he wanted. But she knew he was just going to look at a boat, who he was with, and whether or not he took his own car which he probably had not done. So, when he doesn't return in a few hours, surely she's not going to believe any bull about the protection program. If it were me, I'd have a million questions like "He left with you Tony. Why didn't he come back with you?" It just doesn't make sense to me.
