On my way home from coaching my soccer team yesterday evening I drove by a local credit union whose parking lot seems to be filling up not with customers per se, but with car repo’s.\u00a0 If you didn’t know better, it would look like a used car dealership.\u00a0 I’ve kept an eye on the lot for several weeks because they had a couple vehicles that caught my eye.\u00a0 This was new on the lot.<\/p>\n

The point is not so much that repo’s are a new thing, but what did catch my eye was that this repo was done without the owner having the time to remove a large website decal from the rear window.
