I think I saw a repo the other day, but didn't ask. A tow truck was hooking up an SUV in a driveway. I only know the owner had a good job working for a builder and was laid off a few months ago.

In our area car repos tripled. One snatch back man said that he did over 40 repos in one weekend and that was just one company.

Tenaj, I can't count the number of stores that closed here over the past 2 years. Several furniture stores, a large jewelry store and probably a lot of businesses affected by the real estate slump like title companies, mortgage brokers, etc. Then if you think about the people who sell new homeowners things like window treatments, swimming pools, pest control, security systems, water purification, etc., landscaping.... the list goes on & on.
