But still... see Scott's comments above.

Oh, and BTW - Chase sucks for many other reasons that I won't rant about here.
In the case of a repo... it's the bank's car. If I let you borrow my car, then send someone to steal it back for me 'cause you stopped paying to use it, I'm pretty sure I and the guy stealing the car are in the clear.

The problem here is that the car was no longer the banks, so it was in fact theft, but the repo guys also filed w/ the PD before stealing it so I would imagine since they were acting in good faith with the law, it'd be pretty tough to get them rung up on GTA.
