If the repossesor can verify that the car is on the relative's (or anyone besides the loanee's) property, they can then obtain a warrant, much like a police officer, since they are, in reality, investigators. They can then repossess the car in any way they see fit "as long as it's legal under repossession law." In this case, by obtaining a warrant, the repossessor CAN go through a locked fence, even destroy the fence/lock in order to get the vehicle. There is no place your vehicle is safe. They can obtain warrants to search almost anywhere you may have gone, including other states in which they contact the nearest fellow repossessor and split the repossesion fees.
... otherwise, it would be a case of "breach of peace" -- or theft, breaking and entering, trespassing, etc. I can assure you, if someone BROKE into my locked, gated, fence to get someone else's car that was parked therein, I would have my lawyer AND 911 on the phone faster than you could hot-wire the damn thing. And I can assure you that I would have your behind cooling your heels in the local pokey for B&E and trespassing by evening.
Too, I know of VERY few, if any, states where private investigators or asset recovery specialists have the same "privileges" and power as police officials. Please name the state that gives NON-official investigators the same abilities and power as OFFICiAL LE.
