I Read the News Today...Oh Boy.....

We are getting calls now every few days from news organizations.....with the current recession, now automobile repossessions are becoming a news item. It's not just us...its a lot of the bigger recovery agencies. I have seen articles recently in the Wall Street Journal....in Car & Driver.....in USA Today...in Newsweek.
A lot of the questions are the same...."Is your business up?" (a: yes), "Isn't this business dangerous?" (a: no), "what's the weirdest thing you repossessed?"
We are
busier than ever. Its not dangerous, not like people think (its a lot safer than being a clerk at a convenience store, I would bet). And now, people are very much "on the move" and extremely hard to find.
Another thing.....people have grown unwilling to answer a knock on the door. This is a new development we have seen. People just won't come to the door. Its probably because of the fact that someone at the door represents a problem....a bill collector, the power company, a kid selling magazine subscriptions, a Jehovah's Witness....someone that they simply don't want to deal with.
Whatever it is, it sure is a weird, different time we're living in now.....
