Kidnapped Man Found in Car's Trunk on Brooklyn Street

2009_01_kidnapdec.jpg A man who was reported kidnapped on Saturday was found in a car trunk on Decatur Street in Brooklyn yesterday. He was apparently grabbed on Saturday at R&R Deli near the Pacific Avenue and Albany Street; the 53-year-old victim was left, tied up in the Nissan Maxima's trunk, for many hours and was taken to a hospital. The police had also chased some suspects before finding the victim. As one resident told WCBS 2, "It was weird [when] you see the guy. Why would somebody put him inside a trunk?" Good question, but the Daily News reports, "the man had been arrested at least 13 times during the past few years." And two suspects have been arrested.

How do we know he didn't want to be in the trunk? Maybe he wanted a little privacy, some quiet time?

Surprisingly, there's a happy ending. I was sure this story was going to be about him dying in the trunk.
