Repo Story

Had a request for a repo story. If you expect something like you see on TruTV you will be disappointed.

At the time this took place my employer had me organize off site car sales. We would rent a parking lot, use a motor home for an office, bring in sixty or more cars, and hold a five day sale. We "spot delivered" every car we could and worried about the financing after the sale. After every sale there would be failed deals and we needed to get the cars back.

Trinidad, CO was a favorite sale site. The people there are great, sales were good, and our crew did their best to stimulate the local nightlife businesses with good results. One customer used his brother's drivers license, social security number and insurance card to buy a car. His brother wasn't too happy when we contacted him to verify some information. The only info he would give us was a post office box in a New Mexico town.

The town is four buildings between Raton and Clayton. One building is a gas station, restaurant, gift shop and post office. The friendly folks didn't have a physical address for my skip but thought he might live in Farley. Farley is an abandon town in the middle of nowhere with no utilities or government. Some buildings are used by squatters and that is where I located our car.
