How long can you have a car out for repossession before getting caught?

The repossession industry employs a group of people known only as skip tracers. Most people have no idea what a skip tracer does. Most skip tracers will not tell you what it is they do other than the the effect they find things. Skip tracers are typically highly skilled people who do just that, find things.

Having worked in the industry as a skip tracer, I can state that I have found vehicles that have been out for repossession for as little as 24 hours and as long as seven years. I literally found one vehicle that was being hidden in the barn of the debtor's wife's brother's wife's parent's barn, and had been there just shy of seven years. The repossession company picked it up seven years to the day of the notice of repossession.

People can run. People can hide. But, nothing lasts forever. Everyone leaves a trail. Those who issue challenges to those who have nothing more to do in their jobs but to devote time to finding them or their property or assets have entered a fool's game.
