If the trailer was not part of the loan I think that was Grand Theft.

A big plus one at that! Most loans don't have the trailer listed.....

Best repo ever!

What if they put the trailer back and or left it on the street after retrieving the banks property?

They removed it from a enclosed secured place.

should have made the payments!

it dont matter,in my state what ever the boat is attached to goes with it..i have repoed boats with the trailer and truck attached to it..all it does is drive the price of the repo up..

You really should learn the laws of your state. Most state laws allow repo-persons to trespass as long as it's not breaking and entering, which in this case it seems as long as they did not break through the fence to put the straps on, it was legal.
The rest of your statement about taking a truck that was not a part of it and all I will not address. You might want to look at the laws, which you should have learned through the 40 hour course to get a license to repo before you end up on a Grand Theft charge. All a person has to do is "verbally object" in the act and it becomes illegal to take anything.
Here is one place to start. http://www.illinoislegaladvocate.org...&contentID=293

That is the best way to prevent the situation. I am glad the wife and I get our loans paid off in less than a year.
