My wife works for a major finance company and she is in the repo department - she communicates with the repo guys to pick up peoples cars.

The stories she tells me are hilarious and sometimes really sad.

I guess one day the repo guy was pickin' some 18 year olds car up at his work - Big 5 Sports and he came out with a gun from the store and shot the repo guy...MESSED UP!

technically it might be stolen.

Repo places can't touch the car for a certain amount of time after they have collected it as the customer still has the ability to get it back (if they pay up). Other than that if it passes the time I have no idea what goes on...

Spent 18 Years in the Recovery business. All of SoCal, from the Mexican border to the Arizona border to Central Cali and some of Las Vegas. I have had broken bones,guns,death threats daily,windows smashed out of my car,knives,baseball bats,etc. Not a fun business as I got older, but when I was a kid it was a blast. Stealing cars in the middle of the night and speeding off. People chasing you on foot and in there other cars. Cops pulling you over as the alarm is going off at gun point, only to be let go on the spot. Ya, I have a few stories. The show that was on TV was a joke!

i was thinking a/b that and all the bank wants is the car right, so if the owner doesn't pay up the repo man cleans all the stuff out and sells it..

The owner has 60 days to redeem his personal belongings out of the car. Of course they have to pay storage fees. The repoman can not kep the stuff by law and has to give it to charity. They never do, but that is the law.

Could of let the kid get back home before taking the car? Then again kid is idiot for having to get his car repo'd in the first place.

Not in TX where they can legally blow your head off and walk away.
