They finally busted him. Russell Laiosa. I know the NY Post is a rag, but it’s the first article I found confirming an arrest.

    Unpopular opinion: Anyone that does repossessions of any kind is a class traitor. Let the rich collect their own debts.

    I don’t think we do a very good job of handling vehicle delinquency.

    If you don’t pay for your vehicle it’s down to the company that you owe the money to to get it back. If you don’t pay them, and you don’t get caught, there’s almost no downside for you. If it was a jailable offense it would happen a lot less often we would be able to remove the entire repo industry.

          You assholes love to put words in people’s mouths.

          Prison is a f****** overshot in any range of the imagination.

          What’s better threaten somebody with jail so they surrender their vehicle in peace or hire a bounty hunter to go and f****** steal it from them? The idea of a repo man is just absolute bullshit and you all know it. You already can’t take someone’s primary residence so they’re already on the f****** hook for repossession of non essentials only. I’m just abdicating that it’s better to use a warrant than it is to use some unqualified racist asshole that bought a used tow truck.

          Bounty hunters have no place in society.
