The driveway is the preferred location for taking repos.
They can take it from anywhere that it can be recovered without breach of peace.
A "FRIEND" would bring the car TO the repoman.

Can the repo company take my car from my neighbor's driveway?
one word: YES
Can a repo take my car out of my garage?
No, repo persons can not enter your residence without permission and an attached garage is your property.
Can repo on private property?
Yes, with limitations. Repossessions usually take place on private property.
Can a court official park in your driveway?
I would think not, if your driveway is private property. Take pictures of the car and complain to the police.
Can a car be repossed from neighbers driveway?
YES. The repo company can take the car from anywhere they want with the exception of a boot on the vehicle and/or the vehicle is in a locked property such as behind a locked fence surrounding the property or locked inside of a garage. If you do not let the person onto your property with a locked fence surrounding this is a voilation of the law and ofcourse YOU can have them arrested on the spot.
Can they break into your home to repo a car?
No a repo person can not break into your home to repo your car. Repossession persons can not damage or destroy any property in attempts to take possession of a vehicle.
Can the repo man take the car with a person in it?
No they cannot but that does not mean repo morons won't try.If you have any doubts call the Police Immediately !!!!
Can you prosecute a repo man for trespassing on private property to repo a auto?
Repo agents are not allowed to break the law. Technically this includes trespassing, but the mere fact that someone was on your property does not in and of itself does not usually legally constitute "trespass". Generally, the burden is on the complainant to prove that entry was in fact trespass, by showing that you have taken steps to defend the property. At the very least, this will probably include posting warnings/signs that the property is private and that you do not grant permission to enter or pass through it. A repo man can't break into your garage or cut a lock from a gate, but if the car was on your unprotected driveway, it's probably not legally "trespass" for him to walk onto the driveway, break into the car (this is not illegal, because he's acting as an agent of the "rightful owner", i.e. the bank), and take it. I guess the answer is that you can certainly contact the police to file a complaint, but after reviewing the facts, they may tell you that legally speaking no trespass occurred and they're not going to do anything about it. You're not going to get the car back in any event, so doing this unless the repo agent egregiously broke the law is really just kind of spiteful.
If your car is in the driveway with a Club on the steering wheel or other source of intentional imobility can a repo man still take the car?
YES.Clubs are designed to prevent THEFT. Repossessions are NOT theft.
Can your car be taken from anywhere for example your driveway in your backyard with the gate closed. Also can a repo man drive the car over your neighbors lawn to take it?
If he already has it, there isn't much you can do about it.
Can a repo man proceed with repo after being ordered off property if he does not have a court order?
They can if they have an order for repossession. You can ask to see the order, and if they do NOT have the order, then they can not take the car. The repossession would become invalid without the order to take the car.
Can a repo man take property other than that used for collateral?
No. If they do, that would be considered theft and that is obviously against the law.
