Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Re: Repo Man



No, never got shot at and fe repro men do. Again, if you know you owe money on something and have missed x amount of payments you know someone will be looking for it. And you will be getting letters and calls from creditors so you will know in advance. I think I have only heard one repo man getting shot in Houston metro in 20 years. So that is overblown urban legend. No saying it is not dangerous as IT IS a dangerous line of work. Still, if you know your shit, and that is element of surprise, it is to your advantage. And you also know when to back off from situations, no car, no bounty, no amount of money is worth you losing your life over.
 
Another funny one as I knew this lady worked at a MCdonalds. So I watched the place and went inside and asked manager what time so and so comes in, I said I knew here in school and heard she worked there. He said 4pm, so watched the parking lot and lo and behold here comes that Dodge Spirit.
 
I walked over and had a crumpled set of papers, maybe from some furniture sale, in my hand and reached in and grabbed the keys. Not sure who the young man was on the passenger seat but he seemed to reach for his belt. I told him SHERRIFF. I have a court order to seize this vehicle. Don't make a bad situation much worse, and I would highly advise you that if you have a cap in your pants, keep it there as I have backups behind the building. Hell, no one there but me, no one behind the building except winos I guess. She gave me the keys and I paid for a cab ride for her two boys home. I apologied to her knowing she was only tyrying to get back on her feet working at McDonalds and gave her $20 cash to catch a ride home after she got off work and apologied to her for the inconvienence too. So I spent $40, but got the car and got my $250 so made $210. Not that a Dodge pieceofshit Spirit worht $210.

Bart, you would not believe some of the stories. About your Dakota below, I sold a 69 Javelin to a fellow here locally in early 90s, he drove it and never changed title to his name due to warrants. So I got a letter from Houston Police saying the car was in storage. I was surprised and went to go look at it. Damned thing I had restored had a large scrape down one side, driver side window busted out, and two flats, and it had rained the night before about 4 inches so inside was flooded. I asked the tow yard what it would cost to get it out. they said $133, so I paid them and then paid to have it towed home. I basically got my car back for under $200. I then went to the DMV on 290 and got a lost title for $5, as it was still in my name hee hee.
 
I fixed the dent, put a cheap Maaco paint job on it and drove that little 343 car for another 2 years before selling it for $1500:
 
Bart, with your incident below, something you could have done is what I did. If the value of the Dakota exceeded $400, hell, I would have paid them and taken possession of it again, then sold the sOB in Greensheet or something for $1000 and move on.....

Neat little car. Not sure about California law, however here in Texas, when a car impounded, the lot first has to send out registered letter to last known owner (LKO). After one month, the car goes to auctions, sometimes dealers only, sometimes open to public. Warning, note that the time it sits in the storage lot it is $30-$50 a day. So if it sits there for say, 45 days, at $50 a day, you are looking at  $2250. Not counting the wrecker fees for initial towing, here it is $115. So now up to over $2300 and I guarantee you the lot will try to make a majority of that back or sell it to a wholesaler lot. Note you think shilling is bad on ebay, try live auctions, oldest trick in book, many plants in the crowd there for nothing more that to bid up vehicles
Eddie this asshole tow co. tried to do that with me over this 90 Dakota I had.I sold it o some teenage kid and he never turned the title in and drove it illigally and it broke down and they tracked the last owner down'ME'and tried to get me to pay 400$ i said the truck aint mine and i never got any more letters from them.
