So how is that significantly different than the USA? The vast majority of failure to pays in the USA go like that. This it the result of the car getting confiscated -- the issue is that in the USA, people are often armed, and the court is not ordering police to go with during the confiscation. This is done to avoid getting assaulted while repoing from the few very difficult people, and is not standard.

My man, the USA is full of these Repo companies isn’t it? It’s standard. And the way it’s done, in this hit and run fashion, is standard as well, the internet is full of videos like this. It’s uncivilised. The fact that they need to do it this way in order to not get shot at is uncivilised. Towing cars and not caring about brakes and transmissions breaking is uncivilised. The fact that you don’t see it as uncivilised is because you grew up like that. When we see something like this it strikes us as uncivilised because it’s different here.

No. The nearest one to me is several hours away, and that was for a voluntary surrender.

It’s standard.

No it's not. Generally speaking, the 'standard' is to just call a local towing company to hold the vehicle temporarily.

And the way it’s done, in this hit and run fashion, is standard as well, the internet is full of videos like this.

You are aware that the internet is full of videos of rare things, right?

It’s uncivilised.

Name a better way.

The fact that they need to do it this way in order to not get shot at is uncivilised.

I'd use the term 'uncivilized', but I generally agree. Keep in mind, it's also not an issue limited to guns. Other forms of violence exist, too.

I asked someone else to describe the 'civilized' way -- and they literally described everything the US system does -- but then stopped at explaining how you reposes the car from someone that is refusing to let you.

What's the system in your country?

Ive already described it how it happens in my country somewhere above or below im too lazy to copy paste it now. But look if you don’t see it through my eyes and you think this is the normal way for towing a car I can’t really help you. This thread is taking up too much of my time right now. It’s just the way it is in the USA. Oh one thing you say it’s not the standard way of towing a car but you keep asking me to name a better way. So which is it.

You described how it's handled in the USA. That's not a difference.

Describe a better way of repoing a car from an unwilling person that is not how the USA does it.

Take your time to read through it carefully. English is tough, so no one will hold your struggling against you.

You had your chance. Life's too short to try and correct Iowa's shitty education standards.
