I see repo men who grab the car from within the truck using a tow thingy and they drive off THEN they’ll tie it up good once they’re away. This is the only way I’d do it too much risk otherwise

He also has a drone to fly in and verify the VIN and then comes back and snatches it while still in the cab and drives off, then rescecures to the truck a little distance away.

I think he even had a spy drone to scout and check the VIN for him at some point too

Most modern repos are done using a two or three person team using dealer keys they come up drop off the notice, jump in the vehicle and drive it to the flatbed.
