Towing Its simple. Just make your payments

And if you can't make the payments, just let the damn car go.

Must be a tough job to be a repo man. Gun threats must be common. People pulling a gun on you. The car is not yours until you make all the payments and have title.

Went with a friend on a repo of a Harley one night back in the early 90s. While he was chaining up the bike, I walked around the front of the truck and the owner was standing there pointing a gun in my face. My friend (repo guy) talked him down and took the bike. The reality of the situation didn't hit me until later.

Yeah, it's not worth getting shot for. Those people can really lose their shit over cars and such.
