If you were notified that the vehicle was to be repo'd, and failed to turn it in, perhaps the repo guy figured the best time to get the vehicle was when he would be sure you were home. Maybe he had tried to reach you at other times and you weren't there. Sometimes people do what they have to do, just to get the job done. Yes, because it can be legally presumed that such action could create a disturbance for neighbors and/or other members of the household.
