And 9 times out of 10, the car the woman drives is in a man's name.

Women just have way more sense than to buy things they can't afford. Men just gotta have, what they want, when they want it. It's as simple as that.

LOL! You're not the one driving the tow truck.

I've seen it all. Find one in every car. You'll see.

Big wheel keep on turnin, Proud Mary keep on wakin' up wonderin' where her car got towed.

And is there some law that says the repo man can't take some satisfaction in doing a good job?

"Proud Mary"? "her"? I bet there is more men doing it than women. Women just have way more sense than to buy things they can't afford. Men just gotta have, what they want, when they want it. It's as simple as that.

And no, there is no law saying you can't get satisfaction from doing a good job. I bet you are really good at your job.

Have a nice day, repo man! : )

Hey, the repo man is just doing his job. Just another cog in the big wheel.

It ain't no crime.

Keeping something you didn't pay for, now that's a crime.

So how many payments do they need to miss before it's taken away? Just one?

Posted by erasmus111 at 1:35 PM : Mar 21, 2009

Actually I guess that just depends on the company. I was just wondering what the average company does.

Hey, that's between you and the bank.

All the repo man needs to know is, the bank said tow.

When the bank says tow, the repo man tows.

It's that simple.

It doesn't say WHEN.... heh, heh, heh.

If they try to hide the vehicle, just give it a few weeks until the deadbeat thinks the coast is clear and they get too lazy to keep hiding it. It goes right back in its usual parking space and BINGO. Another score for the repo man.

Who, me, devious?

Hahaha, yeah, I would say you were devious,....sneaky,......whatever.

That enthusiastic "BINGO", and the "heh, heh, heh", pretty much says it all. : )


If a person doesn't make the payment, then of course it needs to be taken away. So how many payments do they need to miss before it's taken away? Just one?

Now, I read somewhere else that you are supposed to "notify" the vehicle owner of a repossession. So how do you steal a car back without the consumer noticing? They already know that you are going to do it.

The notice says only that your vehicle is subject to reposession.

It doesn't say WHEN.... heh, heh, heh.

I'm not the one who didn't make the car payment.

"You'll need to locate the whereabouts of a person's vehicle and "steal it back" for the company that initially sold the car, boat, truck or other vehicle. And you'll need to do it without the consumer noticing you or getting "tipped off" by others."

Oh, not that I'd know about being a repo man or anything.... ;-)

".....requires a certain amount of ingenuity and DEVIOUSNESS on the part of the repo man."

Maybe not, but you do kinda fit the description, don't ya think? : )
