Plaintiffs filed Section 1983 action, alleging that village and its police department deprived them of their due process rights in active involvement in a private repossession of their vehicle. Issue of material fact exists as to whether deprivation of due process rights was as a result of state action, by officer facilitating unlawful taking of personal property. (APPLETON and KNECHT, concurring.)
