NEW YORK— Cops say dead New Yorker taken for a ride.
A police tow truck removed a hearse parked outside a New York City funeral home, giving its dearly departed passenger an unexpected side trip. NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said there was "nothing to indicate it was more than just an illegally parked car." Redden's Funeral Home director Paul DeNigris said a windshield placard had fallen flat. The vehicles's tinted windows helped obscure the white cardboard box that held the remains.
DeNigris said he was "a wreck" after discovering the vehicle missing Monday in Manhattan. He rushed to the tow pound, where he discreetly explained the circumstances and got the dearly departed back. He also got the body to an airport in time for a scheduled flight to Miami.
He plans to contest the $115 parking ticket.
