AURORA, Ill. - A repossession crew got a surprise when a 4-year-old boy leaped out of the sport-utility vehicle they were towing away.
Fashawn Parker, of Naperville, was sitting in the back seat of a Ford Excursion that was parked outside of a house on Thursday when the repo crew approached, hooked the car to a tow truck and began driving away, Aurora police spokesman Dan Ferrelli said.
Fashawn opened the door and jumped out into a construction area, Ferrelli said. It was not known how fast the truck was going, Ferrelli said, but the truck was moving in slow traffic because of construction.
Fashawn was treated for minor injuries and released from a nearby hospital.
The tow truck stopped after a colleague in a separate car phoned the driver to tell him that someone had fallen out of the back seat of the SUV, Ferrelli said.
No charges were filed against the two men driving the repo truck, police said, adding that the men checked the back of the truck and did not see the boy inside.
The car had been parked at the home of an acquaintance of the driver, who was picking up another child, Ferrelli said. Officials did not name the driver.
Fashawn's mother, Camille Parker, said she was grateful her son was not more seriously injured.
Ah. Can't charge them if the boy is invisible, can you?
Fashawn? L0L
Poor kid
No kidding.
Sounds like kidnapping to me. "Opps" just ain't gonna cut it.
Fashawn, Lashawn and Falalashawn...
"Man, they stiffed my ride!
lolol
If the kid was lying on the floor of a Ford Excursion, then seeing him would have been difficult to impossible from the outside or even from the front seat.
Tagline maintenence
True story, There was a girl in the maternity ward when my Son was born named “Female” pronounceded Fahmolly.
The Hospital tagged here as such and lazy Mom said “dats a cool name”

Sheesh
Not everything has to be criminal. A lot of times you get more satisfaction from a civil suit. Look at OJ.
In any case, this woman was obviously not paying for her car. Want to bet she ends up with a free car out of the deal? (Actually, I think anything she recovers is supposed to go to the son.)
Repo man’s always intense.
From now on, all repos have to be done in daylight.
;0)
After this, the creditors would probably let the bad borrowers keep the vehicle if they will agree not to sue.
