The repo men and angry “owners”

While browsing news articles on Yahoo News, I found one that was titled “Violence between repo men, car owners on the rise.”

This is amusing to me because I think the only reason it is on the rise is because there are more cars being repoed…perhaps. Repo men have one of the most difficult jobs, in my opinion, because they are just representing whoever is lending to the owner. The car owners usually, if not always, know that their payments are deliquent, but still put up a fight.

However, if you’ve ever seen an episode of that awful True TV show “Operation Repo” then you know that sometimes the repo people bring it on themselves. I mean first of all, everytime I’ve ever heard of someone being repoed, its done at night, not in broad daylight or while there are a million people haning around. I suppose that could also lead to increased violence.
