The American Repossessor

The auto-repossession procedure can be entertaining, especially in the morning.

That is if the sight of people running outside with tootbrushes in their mouths and wearing pajamas seems humorous while someone tries to take their cars.

But the procedure is nothing to laugh it. What’s more, taking a car can incite danger if the person running out of the door might use more than a toothbrush to forestall the repo.

In the auto-repo business, stealth is practiced to avoid combative situations as well as humorous ones.

Robert “Skip” Blowers, owner of an auto-repossession company in Canal Fulton, said, “The primary thing is not to have the person see you and not to have that person hear you.”

His statement sounds a lot like what a burglar or thief would recommend.

Repo men are neither burglars nor thieves. They are more like detectives pursuing financial justice.

Of being a repo man with Skipco Financial Adjusters Inc., Blowers, 60, said, “There’s a knack to it.”

Repo men work in Maple Heights regularly. Other companies are Relentless Recovery, Bulldog Asset Recovery, DXC Recovery, Monarch Recovery and Premier Finance Adjusters.
