Operation Repo It Ain't

Tonight, around 11:15, around Broadbent and near Russell, we saw a auto repo and it was nothing like you see in Operation Repo.
We were returning from the dog park when we saw a tow truck starting to lower it's boom (I guess that's what it's called). So we thought we were witnessing a repo, so we turned the car around. The driver was good. He turned down the side street, picked up the SUV and left in about 20 seconds. That's not how they do it on Operation Repo.
That or we watched a really good car thief.
