I actually have a few minutes and I wanted to post a blog to check in with everyone and let you know what's been going on with me.
Work has been crazy! Everyone is getting their tax refund checks and they are spending them on cars. Love it!
But....last week....I got to repo our first car!! It was such a rush. Even though this one was probably the easiest ever, it was still exciting!
Want me to explain? Great. Here goes...
Our customer, (who happens to work for the local police department...) had fallen about 5 payments behind on his truck payment (our customers pay their car payments weekly). His wife had called and said that she would be in on a certain date to catch the account current. That day came and went, and still no word from these people. I tried to call them, no response. We finally decided that enough was enough. Last week we noticed that the truck was in for service at the shop down the street from us. We decided this would be the perfect chance to grab it! After talking it over with Caleb (he was bummed that he couldn't be here for it), we decided that last Wednesday would be a perfect chance. I walked down the street to the mechanic's shop, and asked the people that work there why the black Nissan truck was in for service. After they explained why, one man cocked his head sideways, furrowed his brow, and said: "Whyyyy??" To which I replied, "because I'm here to repo it." This caused a huge commotion! These three men immediately dropped open their mouths in shock and started saying: "Oh my gosh, he's a cop and he's getting his truck repo'd, BY A GIRL!" I didn't dare let on that this was my first time to ever repo a vehicle.....I just got the truck cranked and drove away.
It was such a rush!!! Yes, I do feel a tad sad for the people, but we have an investment to protect also.
Anyway, this concludes my blog. Hope I didn't bore you too much. Stealin' for a livin'--Woohoooo!!!!
