equipment theft

[Rockn H]

I repo'ed for a few years. You never knew what to expect so I made it a point to try and be up front. You know, knock on doors that sort of thing.  Some people, a small percentage, were having hard times.  Most were just riding for free.  The finance companies normally don't want the car, they want the money, so normally a talk with them can work out an extension.  Often, I would get an order and I would know the person because I had repoed so many from them already.  A few never made more than the down payment.

We notified the police dept. Most states don't require it, but it helps with relations to keep them from doing a lot of paper work for nothing.  Louisiana requires you to get signed permission from the financee.  While most states just state that you are not allowed to commit a breach of the piece.  In other words if the owner tells you to get off his property, you have to leave or you would be tresspassing.  You just come back later.  If the gate or chain is locked you can't cut it, so on.   Please don't let anyone chain a dog to a car.  Most companies use self-loading wheel lifts now.  One poor driver(I say poor because he was truly sick over this)  drug a dog to death before he realized it was chained to the car.  He didn't go more than a mile, but thats all it took.
