Repossessors tend to be a bit more open about what they're doing... if you're seeing a professional recovery setup (e.g., wrecker, wheel lift on the back of a pickup, etc) in use, it's probably a recovery agent. While they do tend to try to be a little more incognito in some instances as they're searching for the vehicle, there's no need to once they've got the vehicle.
