Briefly, if they(the bank via repo guy) have the car its theirs until you bring your account current and they give it back but they are not entitled to your personal property or the plates. The repo guy will try and charge you bogus storage fees(for your p.p.) and try to get you to sign a wavier which absolves them and the bank of any and everything to do with the repo.This includes a statement that all of your p.p. are there so if stuff is missing(repo guys steal )or your car is damaged it makes it harder to sue.They will want you to sign it before you see your car or p.p. Do not sign !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Another question you need to ask is do you want the car back? If you do want the car back you have little choice but to pay the extortion because each day that goes by is another $100.00 to store the car. If you do need to sue remember sue the lender not the repo guy.

Is it legal in the state of New York to be charged a fee to collect your personal belongings from a repossessed vehicle you don't plan to get back?

Can your car be repossessed from your work if it is private property in Washington state?
Yes. The repossession agent may recover the vehicle so long as he has free access to it, on private property, public property, federal property (with the proper permits), even a limited (key card) access parking garage so long as he is given access to the garage. Keep in mind that hindering the repossession of a vehicle is a crime in most states. In situations when this has happened, the agent or the lender may seek a replevin. In the event a replevin is acquired, it will be served by a law enforcement officer accompanying the recovery agent, you will be ordered to surrender the vehicle, and your failure to do so will land you in jail and the LEO will supervise the recovery of the vehicle anyway. Your choices then, when a vehicle is up for repossession is to surrender the vehicle voluntarily, or give the recovery agent grief and give him a reason to take it when it is easiest for him and most inconvenient for you. Consider that recovery agencies are in the very specialized business of finding and securing vehicles that those who haven't paid for them are trying to hide. In six years of skip tracing, no one ever got away from me, and there are skip tracers out there far more skilled than I.
Is it still considered repossession if you willing give the bank the keys to your property before it goes into foreclosure?
Yes, a voluntary foreclosure (deed in lieu of such) is a foreclosure just as a voluntary repossession of a vehicle is a repossession.

Repossession laws for recreational vehicle in ny?
In the state of New York, provided there is a legal order for repossession, once the vehicle is located, it may be secured and recovered. The repossession agency has 24 hours to notify the registered owner of the repossession, but they are only required to do so by mail, and may do so to the address of record on the registration. They do not have to notify anyone at the time of repossession other than local law enforcement of jurisdiction. They must inventory and secure any property contained in the vehicle, and may charge a storage fee for that property.
How hard do they look for your car when it is about to be repossessed?
Depends upon the company/agent who has the contract for repossessing the vehicle. They only get paid if they recover the vehicle so in most cases they "look pretty hard." Please note, that the majority of U.S. states do not require a replevin order for vehicle repossession matters. However, if such an order has been issued, the person who is named can be held on a contempt of court charge if he or she tries to interfere with the repossession. Please check your state statutes concerning the type of action repossession agents can employ for recovery of the property.
What do you do if a repossession company damages your property while seizing the vehicle?
You need very good proof it was not damaged before the repossession. Nearly impossible to do as he can say it was damaged when he got it (and he will, believe me).
