[0:43] >> Hello, I'm Brian Ban Miller and this is
[0:44] our look at your money. Have you ever
[0:47] fallen a few months behind in your car
[0:48] payment? Well, watch out. If you fall
[0:51] that far behind, many banks will
[0:53] forcibly take back your car. And they'll
[0:55] do it by hiring a repossession man who
[0:58] can hunt you down and take your car
[0:59] right from under your nose. Earlier this
[1:02] year, we spent an eye opening evening

[1:31] girlfriend.
[1:32] >> It is 4:00 a.m. on Sunday, the best time
[1:35] and day of week to repossess. Dead
[1:37] beatats are often sound asleep. Under
[1:39] cover of night, Sherlock and his son
[1:42] will try to repossess cars other repo
[1:44] companies won't touch. The car owners
[1:47] are just too dangerous.
[1:49] >> We don't have a uniform. No one respects
[1:50] us. We don't have a gun strapped to our
[1:53] side, so we can't defend ourselves.
[1:55] People come out and shoot at us. They
[1:56] try to kill us. They approach the home
[1:58] of a sports car owner r
