Repo Disaster: Owner Steals and Crashes Camaro
Determination is an admirable quality, but when a debtor decides to hold onto a sports car by any means necessary, it can
lead to disaster. That was the case in Jefferson County, Alabama, where 48-year-old
Sean Monroe
stopped a repossession of his Chevrolet Camaro by blocking the path of the tow truck with another car and brandishing a gun. The
repo agent, who didn’t know Monroe was the owner, thought it was a robbery. When Monroe ordered the agent to drop the car, he left
the Camaro sitting in the middle of Minor Parkway and drove off to report the robbery to the police.
Meanwhile, deputies responding to the scene of a crash on Minor Parkway found a Camaro crushed beneath an overturned tractor-trailer.
A FedEx truck had collided with the abandoned Camaro, jackknifed, and overturned. As deputies were taking this all in, Mr. Monroe
returned to the scene — and was promptly arrested and charged with first-degree robbery.
