The American Repossessor

The rumble of the diesel engine is constant.

That steady growl from Bryan Sorenson’s Ford dually pickup is probably what raised the red flags at this home near the eastern edge of Lawrence.

Something did.

When Sorenson started to ease his specially equipped pickup truck into the short driveway, the light of a television shone through the home’s picture window. By the time Sorenson got the truck in park, it was off.

Evidently, this fellow knows the repo man cometh. Evidently, though, he doesn’t know the repo man can see through the picture window.

“The guy is laying right there on the floor,” Sorenson, an owner of Lawrence-based Lighthouse Investigations and Recovery, said as he came back to the truck after failing to get anyone to answer the door. “I mean, he’s awake and everything. He’s just laying there on the floor, hiding.”

“Well, that’s about childish,” said Debbie Sorenson, Bryan’s wife and business partner.

Ah, children and delinquent debtors — you never know what you’re going to get.
