Jen, you SHOULD get your PP back. NOT giving it back is illegal and called 'conversion". There may be a fee for inventory and storage, but you get it back. Call the LENDER and tell them your problem. They are ultimately responsible for anything that involves a repo. Note: as a rule of thumb, you get back anything that would fall out if the car were turned upside down. That doesnt include things that are attached(wheels,tires,radios,TVs,playstations, funny little lights all over the car,ect)
