Third-Gen Camaro Gets Repo’ed In Wild Video
Read the full story on Backfire News
Car repos can by nature be chaotic, emotional, and downright explosive events. While some people voluntarily surrender a vehicle to the bank, realizing they’re hopelessly behind on payments, others seem to think fighting the repo man is a wise idea. Then there’s this bail bond vehicle repossession of a Chevy Camaro in Phoenix, Arizona – it’s just wild.
A famous rapper’s cars have reportedly been seized by the IRS.
The video starts in the middle of the action. The tow truck already is hooked up to the Camaro and has the rear wheels in the air. It also has a cherry picker attached to the engine block, so that gets dragged along.
It’s possible the people hooked up the cherry picker to try stopping the repo man from taking the Camaro. One guy is messing with the lug nuts on one of the tires while another is trying to position a first-gen Toyota Tundra in front of the tow truck. We’re pretty sure none of this is legal but they’re doing it anyway.
One of the guys goes for a short ride on the back of the Camaro as it’s getting repossessed. When the tow truck stops after driving a few houses down, that guy uses a tire iron to start busting out the back window. Funny how many people who fight to keep their ride then trash it as soon as they realize it’s going to be taken no matter what they do.
But after he switches to sitting on the roof and windshield, the guy tells the cameraman he slipped and accidentally busted out the window. Right.
It doesn’t take long for the Tundra to come and try blocking the tow truck in on the road as the one guy starts loosening the lug nuts on the other front wheel. We guess he really wants to keep the wheels or something.
Just as the tow truck cuts across someone’s lawn and the Tundra keeps trying to block them the cops show up. The woman who was in the Toyota starts yelling at the police about how she revoked her bond and that’s where the video stops.
We assume the Camaro was ultimately repossessed. The video description also says the one guy who was messing with the car lost part of his thumb in the process.
Our understanding is that even though you can secure a bail bond using a vehicle’s title, that’s usually just a temporary, emergency method for loan collateral. Most people then come in with a significant amount in cash after a few days, removing the lean on the car.
In other words, this situation where a repo man is ordered to take a vehicle because of a bail bond is a little unusual. And it tells you something about how things came to this point.
This shows what happens when people who commit criminal acts might do when they don’t follow through on commitments. Sure, your average neighborhood Karen might behave similarly and that tells you something, doesn’t it?
