That depends. If you did this deal on a handshake with no paperwork, probably not. If you have a written contract that gives you the right to repo, you might be able to do it. It is also important to determine if you noted a lien on the official title. A lien gives you a better position legally. Be careful about any form of violence or violation of law in the repo process.
