No, although they typically will if confronted by the owner.

maybe search on "repossessors + (your state) + jobs) ????

Absolutely and most times, if the repossessor has a written assignment from the lienholder to repo the vehicle, the police will allow the repossessor to take the vehicle. Remember, if you have an unpaid loan on your car, it isn't yours until it's paid in full.

Nope. That would be kidnapping. In some states they call that kidnapping or child abduction.

Average attempts is 2 but a good repossessor may average 1.5.
