Recovery Agents Get Award

Repo Men Get Life-Saving Award For Saving Woman
Pair Honored In Aurora

(AP) AURORA, Colo. It's not often that the repo man is called a hero.

But brothers Heath and Kyle Main, who make their living repossessing vehicles, were honored by police Monday for using their towing equipment to lift a 3,500-pound car that had flipped and pinned a woman.

The Mains were on their way to tow the first of nine vehicles the night of May 14 when they came upon the wreck, which had pinned Arleen Meyer, crushed her pelvis and broke her left arm.

Several other people, including former Lt. Gov. Joe Rogers, had stopped but were unable to move the car.

It took the Main brothers only seconds.

"You've got to be fast when you hook up a repo," Heath Main said.

The brothers left before anyone knew who they were, and they came forward only after public appeals by police.

Police gave the brothers Outstanding Citizen Life-Saving Awards. Meyer was still hospitalized and could not attend the ceremony, but her husband, Duane, said she wants to meet the Mains when she is able.
