As I've fleetingly mentioned before, our newest driver, Johnny Ruckus, came to us after more than a few years working as a repossession agent.
In the month or so since he joined the ranks, we've been swapping stories about the dumbest debtors he's ever encountered, and this one kinda takes the cake.
Twitch is an old-school guy, he Repos the same way today he did 10 years ago, as in, he hasn't quite figured out how to work the internet, or facebook, or Twitter, so he doesn't have as many leads on where a car might be if it's not at the address listed on the repo run order.
Ruckus however is not only wired up (and my newest FB friend!) but knows how to shake the Google tree and see what falls out.
He'll take the names off the run orders and try them on FB, Twitter and such and see if he can glean a place of employment or favorite hangout of the deadbeat he's looking for, or, advance warning that they're going to be out of town for the day or on vacation, or at a specific drag racing event or tractor pull, meaning he can just go over and take the car while they're distracted by the loud, shiny things.
This is probably his greatest though, he had tracked a person via their FB feed to a particular town, and based on the pictures on the timeline, was able to deduce a neighborhood.
He goes in and makes a few circles around the block, but can't see the house in the picture, or the car he's looking for.
As he's driving out, however, the person's FB page lights up with a new post:
"Repo man just drove by my house! LOL! Good luck finding my car asshole! He's too dumb to figure out I hid it over at *local tavern*"
Oh, do tell.....
Ruckus googles the name of the place, gets an address, GPS' it, and within 20 minutes, he's over in the parking lot hooking up the deadbeats vehicle.
he took a picture with his phone of the car dangling off the back as he was driving off, and posted THAT to HIS FB feed *and made sure it was public* saying
"At least I'm not as dumb as YOU"
I knew I was going to like this guy.
