No, they cannot take a vehicle which is occupied at the time they hook to it. However, if you jump into a vehicle after they've hooked it, then they can't leave, but they can take legal action against you.

Can a repo company take your car from behind a locked gate in California?
No one has the right to enter your property to repo a vehicle. I your vehicle is out in the street, then its fair game. If you see the repo man coming but has not hooked up to your vehicle, you legally still have possession of the vehicle. Once the vehicle has made contact with the truck the vehicle belongs to him.

You may have to take the repo company to court, and prove that they damaged the vehicle. They have supplied the loan company with a copy of any damage that they show when the vehicle was picked up. And I you were driving it, you may be able to prove that the vehicle was operable. An attorney may have to be consulted.

Repo companies don't just throw up their hands, say, "well, I guess that's that" and quit. They'll keep after you. If that fails, then the finance company will simply take you to court, and you will lose that one - the car doesn't belong to you - it belongs to the lien holder.
