Repossessors don't have real, "Power" as, Bounty Hunters. So to compensate, They do alot of, Huffing & Puffing. Scare & Intimidation are pretty much all they have. If they tell you, "Get out of the vehicle, I'm taking it!" That's, a "Breach of Peace." If they walk into your House, Garage etc. Uninvited, That's a, " Breach of
Peace." As a rule of thumb, anything other than a peaceful repossession, Is a,
You guessed it, "Breach of Peace." And keep in mind, this is taken very seriously.
This is when it turns from a civil to a criminal situation. If your neighbor calls the

Once the vehicle has entered into reposession, it becomes the property of the lender. If you fight or otherwise refuse to turn over the vehicle, it could be considered breach of peace. FYI, when the repo man shows up, the vehicle isn't yours any more.

Yes, a vehicle can typically be repossessed without a court order if the borrower is two months in arrears on their payments, as long as the repossession is conducted in accordance with state laws and the terms of the loan agreement. Lenders generally have the right to reclaim property when borrowers default on their loans. However, they must follow specific legal procedures and cannot breach the peace during the repossession process. It's advisable for borrowers to review their loan agreement and local laws regarding repossession rights.
In Arizona, a repo company can generally repossess a vehicle without permission if it is parked in a public space or on a property where the owner has given implied consent for the vehicle to be there.

Trespassing laws apply, and a repo agent cannot breach the peace during the repossession process. Always consult legal advice for specific situations.
Probably as soon as there is a "breach of the peace" (during the hookup). If it is no longer your car (through default on the loan), you have no right to possess it or prevent its rightful owner from repossessing it.
