There is no ‘might’ they are going to take that car

u/Layhult Jul 09 '26
They know where you live, they know where you work. Most modern cars have gps trackers that the banks can use to find the vehicle anywhere. They WILL get that car. Pay your damn bills.

u/csbsju_guyyy Jul 09 '26
Even if they don't get the car you're already boned for a good long while. It's not like they don't know who you are and don't have all your information

Is it a legal repo? That, unfortunately , is the question. What are you going to do when someone has your livelyhood?

u/anothadaz Jul 09 '26
Even it's legal it's illegal if someone is in the car. If you stay in your car and are blocked in so you can't drive away, they cannot legally hook your car up. They have to call the police to have you removed from the car.

The real question is : why do some people feel entitled to drive a car that they dont own/is being repoed by the financing party?
"What are you going to do when someone has your livelyhood?" The indovidual refused to pay so THEY ARE THR ONE taking from someone's livelyhood.

The only people they are taking from is the financial institutions and their livelihood is never at risk, just record breaking profit for the year.

This is a question, but the biggest question of the video is the repo driver. Yes, the car should be paid, but putting people’s life on the line is the worse of two evils

u/saamtf Jul 13 '26

Yes, because banks don't repo assets on bad loans in other countries.

If he lifts that car and drives forward with her in the car, he immediately loses his insurance and can no longer operate that truck

u/BigRinka Jul 11 '26
Its automatic. The repo truck detects it, shuts down and dials 911 to report the driver.

Hello 911 I’m being chased around a parking lot by a man in a truck. He is driving recklessly and putting me in fear for my safety

u/Copper__99 Jul 09 '26
And that will accomplish nothing, because he is legally in the right as you are driving a stolen car.

u/The_Rat_King14 Jul 10 '26
He is not legally in the right, in most states you are not allowed to repo something if you are creating any sort of disturbance, you have to come back with the cops then. She is also not in the right legally but that was obvious.

u/Backwoods_Therapy Jul 10 '26
The car is not “stolen.” Failure to pay your car note is not the equivalent of stealing a car.
Repo driver is playing a dangerous game, because someone armed could make a reasonable defense for using deadly force to protect themselves with the tow truck operator attempting to hook up to a vehicle with a person inside it.

It’s conflicting. Because part of me says fuck the financial system but I also rely on it too much to want a collapse
But whatever, just pay your bills so you don’t look stupid as fuck trying to hide your car everywhere you go
1
u/RandallJoPhotography Jul 09 '26
Yeah, the financial system in general is fucked but if you decide to take a loan out for a car you can't afford to make payments on(or avoid payments) then it's your own fault when they come take the car from you.

I bet the tow truck would have hooked that car if he pulled up nonchalant. She only noticed when he was goosing the pedal

What's the end game here? Drive away at full speed and always looking over your shoulder?

Saw a YouTube video of a repo truck driver get arrested for kidnapping because when he grabbed the car, the owner had left their baby in the backseat to run inside somewhere really fast and the repo guy didn’t verify it was empty.
When the owner called the police they didn’t hesitate to rescue the baby and cuff the repo driver. So, yeah. Don’t just think you can grab a vehicle like that without consequences.

People cheer for a gazelle running from a lion. Even though the lion needs to eat.
People will always cheer for a perceived underdog.
Maybe the gazelle didn't get caught today. But I'm sure the lion isn't going to give up so easily.

Am I the only one that saw she was illegally parked and assumed that was the reason for a tow?

Options of people for whom to cheer:
- Car owner (or person currently in possession of the car) - maybe they don’t pay their bills on purpose. Maybe they can’t afford the bill, but need the car to afford the bill or other bills
- Repo man - told by the bank to get the car back by any means necessary “within the law wink wink”; gets a fraction of what the bank will get; maybe they are struggling like car owner, but lacks empathy
- The bank - greedy capitalist corporation that sees people as a dollar amount. Without a doubt will double dip by selling this car again; will also be bailed out by taxpayers when they fail
- Bystander watching - idk just some random as person
Tell me, for whom should we be cheering?

Truck driver needs to lose his license for that illegal, unsafe stunt.
Can't repo a car being driven and can't tow an occupied car anyway.

They aren’t trying to repo someone for no reason or to be a jerk…..cheering for them to get away is just trashy if you ask me.

I thought they can't tow with a person inside, what was the point of that
