The Repo man!

[unmeg]

How do you all feel about the repoman?Is it honest work or just a professinal car thief?Could you or have you done it?
I ask because i may have to go back to this line of work do to injury.I quit the buss bout 4 years ago do to danger & felt bad stealin peoples cars in the middle of night.
Let me tell you it's a rush like a drug when you are sitting in someones car in their driveway trying to pick on the igniton,or slamming it with 2lb sledge(kinda loud)Been locked inside a yard by some fool with a 12 gauge,while I was sitting in his driver seat.repoed a DA of L.A,did the same Reverend 3 times in 1 yr.followed some 2 1/2 hours to take there truck as soon as they get out.Had a cop make us give a car back cause he did'nt know the law lol. we got 75 cars in a month & rarley used a tow truck.We would drive around in white convertible Mustang 20 hours a day looking at lisence plates saying "is that our car?"Knocking on doors 3 a.m. asking folks if they wanted to get any personal property.One time we let this guy & helped him take the tires & rims off his truck at 3-4 a.m.
so how do you feel bout the REPOMAN? :cool:

i used to do the same thing. i worked at a sleezy ass used car lot. and us salesman were basically responsible for doing the repos if we sold a car to some scumbag that didn't wanna pay his note. it was alot of fun... and like you said... a VERY big rush. i did enjoy it, but i also hated it sometimes....
almost got shot or chased down a few times...

[Etrain]

No, I hate thiefs. I fucking hate them with a passion. As many people as I know do that shit on a daily basis, I do nothing, but look down upon them. If a mother fucker steals my car, I hope they die... bleed to fucking death.

[w4terb0ng]

if you make your payment...there's nothing to worry about..
that's the way i see it.
pay...just like you have promised to do by signing the contract...
otherwise, have fun walking!

[ermitonto]

Hey, it's just a job to me. Don't have to worry about the repo man if you pay for the shit you want to own.

EDIT: Yeah, what w4terb0ng said...

[Zandor]

When I was in college I worked as a Repo man for TransAmerica. The work was fine but we did get shot at a few times. We did not have a tow truck we had other methods. My nephew is a Repo man in San Diego but uses a tow truck and the money is good. He works nights mostly. Just watch your back unmeg but work is work.

[w4terb0ng]

we never used a tow truck at the car lot i worked for....though i have done some repos elsewhere with other people in tow trucks. anyhow, we had keys...BUT... most of the time, the key didn't fit like it was supposed to (dumb ass retard cutting the keys) so we had to resort to said "other methods". it was a fun job all in all. the feeling that you HAVE to get something done, no matter what...preferably without being caught in the process. however, my idiot brother in law seemed to get off and peeling out really loud and long right in front of their houses to let them know that he took their shit.


he's right... work is work. we all got bills to pay, kids to feed, etc...

[unmeg]

yes,I work with my brother so my back is covered.now with the new hide-a-booms & wheel lifts its much safer.Hopefuly my buddy is gonna hook me up with a transport driver & security job in Hollywood.
most people spend there lifes avoid intense situations the repoman spends his life getting into intense situations. Or something like that lol

[w4terb0ng]

it's no different than someone that gets paid thousands to kill babies everyday, but somehow that's legal and totally ok with alot of people. ???

[tylerkane]

you talking about abortionist?
those aren't babies, those are fetesus(bad spelling)
Id rather have a dead fetus than a new crack addict running around.
People who have abortions don't do them for fun

[unmeg]

no i dont think its the same.
say you sell a car on payments & they decide not to pay you.What would you do stand there with your thumb up your ass?just sit back and call it a loss & let them keep the car?
Damn I got an idea,just have the car makers give them away & stop paying the workers to build them.yea thats a good idea.

[w4terb0ng]

i meant they were the same only by being sarcastic and pointing out how other shit that OTHER people may think is wrong is still legal and a JOB.

but yes, unmeg makes a good point... and basically what i said before ...
if you don't pay for it... it's not yours. it still belongs to the person that you
are paying for it until it's payed off. and if someone stops paying me and
is trying to take advantage of me doing THEM a favor.. well, fuck em.
they can walk.

[w4terb0ng]

a fetus?

Fetus- The name given to a growing baby after eight weeks of development; before eight weeks, the developing baby is called an embryo.

either way.. it's a baby.
i dont' really agree with it unless the person got raped or something.
other than that...well, don't open your legs, and you got nothing to worry about.

nothing wrong with that job,you didnt make the debt and they know that but they may still shoot at you for "stealing for a living'in dangerous .

and tyler.what if ya mamma didnt want you to stick your head out her body and start breathing ,ever think of that?just what if ??

killing babies sovles nothing,unless its medical emergency killing a fetus as you call it,is taking a life becuase someone cant meet the responcibility that goes with having sex .
educate the parents,dont kill the kids

peace

[TasteTheRainbow]

How did this thread go from "what do you think if repo men" to abortion? :rolleyes:

To answer the OP, repo men are just doing their job, albeit a dangerous one. I sure as hell wouldn't want my husband doing it. If for some reason I was ever in the situation to have my car repo'ed, I wouldn't take it out on the person who came to pick it up, they are doing what they are supposed to do.

[unmeg]

yea people do blame us for them not paying there bills.People rarely would thank us for geting them up in middle of night to get thier personal stuffrom vehicle. if not they would have to find ride to yard & pay storage fee.How many people you know that would go out of their way to make it as painless as possible.
"But i just sent the payment today!"

[ezjim]

when i was a much younger man i did repos for a used car lot as a part time job to help support a a very bad habit all that aside it wasnt the best job in the world.. but if you sell some one something and they dont pay you for it you have to take some type of action or you will soon be out of buisness my boss had a sgn over his desk that said THE BEST WAY TO GET BACK ON YOUR FEET IS TO MISS 2 CAR PAYMENTS.. and he ment it

[unmeg]

UBEWLKN

the car lot i worked had a clause in the contract that any personel posseions in said vehicle at time of repossesion will become property of the seller i dint really like that clause to much so i usually would let the people get their stuff out before we took the car but like most other repo folk know that isnt always possable when some one is pointing a scatter gun at you

[w4terb0ng]

lmao...
hey ezjim..you didn't work for Mega Motors did you???

we had a sign that said "The Best Way To Get Back On Your Feet Is To Miss 1 Payment"
and they didn't let people get their shit back either.

[Edgar]

I know its just a job, and if you dont make your payments you dont own da car, but if i saw some dude breakin into my car at night, I might shoot (or hit with a heavy object) first and ask questions later. But to tell you the truth i know nothing about repo men. Do they try and tell you who they are and what they are doing first, or do they just sneak in and steal it? In other words, is there some warning so people dont think you're trying to rob them?

[ezjim]

no it was just some skanky used we finance our own cars kinda car lot and it was in the early 80's maybe 81 or 82 cant remember the name any more but i remember the guy i worked for cause he ratted me out to the cops for selling weed

[w4terb0ng]

damn...
that's fucked up shit.
yeah this car lot was the same way... but i worked there about two summers ago.

Edgar- some people come and tell you that they're taking your shit, some people don't...
and the warning is when you don't make the payment, you KNOW they're going to come for it..

[unmeg]

if you cant make the payment you can bet you will be getting a free tow

As soon as I hear or see someone I am yelling legal reposessor,If you assult the repoman could lead to big charges.Most times walk to door & ask for the keyes

[NoosaHeads]

I thought it was pretty cool how you helped that one guy to take his Nice rims off before you repo'ed the car..
The Boys I know who do it here Probably would have Kept the wheels for a Bonus..

[Etrain]

Haha, my bad...I thought we were talking about car theives who sell them off. :)... :) :) :)

[unmeg]

no, i hate a thief more than bout anything thats why I have guilt with this job

[Dick Justice]

The only thief is the guy who doesn't want to pay for what he has. Consider yourself di[ck]vine justice!
