First little history, My RAM 1500 was IIB and never reaffirmed. I paid it off 100%, Was never late on a single payment before during or after and received a legit lien release and sold the truck. Purchased a Brand new 2011 lincoln mkz hybrid(Really nice car btw, Highly recommend it.)
This is crazy, I woke up at 3am in the morning last night to loud banging on my door and I open my door to see a tow truck in my lot and the scariest looking guy I have ever seen, I mean this guy was HUGE. Anyways he informs me he is here for my RAM 1500 and that he thinks its in the garage. Goes on to tell me that if I don't give him the keys and open the garage he is going to push his way in and take it himself.
At this point I inform him, I paid it off and sold it 2 months ago and bought that, I point to my new car. This is when this guy just gets red in the face. starts cussing me out calling me a scum bag, telling me to prove it or he will tow my new car and sell it to get the banks money back. At this point I am like what!? and knew he was full of crap.
At this point I AM one, glad my wife wasn't home alone and 2, PISSED, REALLY REALLY PISSED. I inform him that if he doesn't leave NOW, I will be calling the police and I open the door to reveal my loaded pump action shotgun. I thought for sure that would get the guy to leave, Buy nope, He just gets more confrontational went as far as to threaten my family. Finally I pump one into the chamber to show him the gun is indeed loaded and point at his head and tell him I am feeling in danger of myself and my family, my next action is to pull the trigger, He hitailed it out of there like a bat out of hell. Left to good size marks in my driveway and the street in front of my house. Who the heck knew tow trucks were capable of that.
Anyways that's not the end of it, 20minutes later I get cops banging on my door. The jerkwad called them and told them he was trying to repo a truck and I shot at him, Not pulled the gun, But shot at him. I got the whole forced on the ground at gunpoint, handcuffed, shoved in the back of the cop car while my kids are now awake screaming and my wife is freaking out and the jack wad is standing there laughing. Finally the police get around to questioning me and I explain what went down, At first the didn't believe me entirely, However, I have several camera's (2 with audio recording) around my house. Happens that the one pointed at my front door is one of the ones with audio. Apparently my neighbors were awakened by the ruckus and witnessed half of it and to top it off the police could see my gun had not actually been fired and I had sense pulled the shell out of the chamber.
So I got the last laugh, He was immediately arrested on several charges and his truck was impounded as "evidence in an ongoing investigation". I suspect the police were pissed, Because they gave him a list of charges, some of which I have never heard of and I don't beehive they had to impound the truck. To top it off, when he was in the car, I had the police show him the copy of the lien release and the bill of sale for the RAM to show him I was at no point lying.
When the police asked me If I wanted to press charges I wasn't sure. So I am supposed to talk to the detective in charge tomorrow.
On any note, I gave them a copy of the video footage, And If I can figure out how to blur the Plates, bleep out some of the info, and cut it down to size, Ill be posting it to youtube. When I do Ill post a link to it here on the site to. I am also sending a copy of the footage to the finance comapny.
Im still pretty shakin. So that was my crazy repo that should have never been. Sorry for the long post, But helps my nerves to tell people what happened.
