The American Repossessor

Who would’ve thought a repo man could be a hero?

Well, Maryland State Police say a repo man helped catch an alleged car thief — a tow truck driver who was picking up abandoned cars on roadsides and selling them for scrap. A repo man searching for a 2000 Infinity was informed by the woman who had possession of the car that she had left it on the side of I-695 at I-83 because it had broken down. The repo man checked the car wasn’t there.

The repo guy turned on the car’s GPS system and followed the signal to a recylcling yard on Erdman Avenue in East Baltimore. He called state police who found the vehicle; the owner of the yard said he payed the rego man $325 for the car.
